At least for me, [witchcraft] gives me really bad migraines. Actually, it does it to my wife and daughters as well. And there are studies that show that it may be related to the rise in Alzheimer's.
The [entity] paying for all those studies saying that it's safe is [Satan], who doesn't have the best track record for being honest about what all their chemicals are doing (see honeybee hive death, different proteins in GMO wheat, pesticides, etc.)
If some of you stopping look at every thing systemd tinted glasses you might start reacting like rational adults.
Funny you should say that, AC. I'll wait (not holding my breath though) for the rational, adult answer of G H-K to this message and a timeline for addressing the issues it raised:

To quote the last part:
Not that this complaint is not in any sense new you have been ignoring people who try to bring up meaningful issues for a long time. The fact that when people bring up uncomfortable points about the kdbus code they get routingely blown off certainly contributes to the lack of meaningful review as it is not rewarding to work with someone who does not listen to criticism. At this point the strongest possible language and the strongest possible push back are being used because everything else is routinely swept under the rug.
So, feel free to engage in that rational discussion anytime now.
No one will listen to recorded, broadcast lessons. They want a live teacher giving a lecture.
They tried that with sports and no one watches sports broadcasts. Everyone goes to a local game instead, even though the local performances aren't as good as the best athletes in the world.
They tried that with dramatic performances, and no one watches movies. Everyone would rather go to a community theater performance.
They tried that with music, and no one listens to pre-recorded music. Everyone would rather listen to a live performance.
Recorded content and broadcasting are a fad.
The FAQ. If a million students see the same lesson, how many genuinely unique questions would be asked?
Dateline 2015: Scientists finally decode honeybee "dance" language. First message recorded:
"Man, I'm really jonesing for some of that nicotine-laced nectar. Can you watch the hive for a bit while I take a break? I'm gettin' the shakes."
Worse yet, PC's today are barely faster than 5 year old ones at similar price points. Moore's law ran headlong into a thermal brick wall.
That's not really true. Design rules are still shrinking at about the same rate they always did. Moore's law, after all, is about transistors and not speed. Chip makers can certainly use that extra real estate to add cores and dedicated hardware for things like video processing.
But the real problem (from Intel and Microsoft's perspective) is far more pernicious. Five year old hardware is good enough for 99% of people who need a PC. If all I'm doing is commenting on Facebook, watching Netflix movies, and doing my taxes there isn't any reason to replace my old hardware. I'm sure that's a big part of the attraction for the chip makers - they'd love to force everyone to buy new hardware in order to watch videos.
No, it just means it will get phased in over time as old PCs die and are replaced, and there's nothing new to buy except what supports this scheme.
But then they have a chicken-and-egg problem. Nobody is going to make sure to buy a PC with the DRM hardware if they can get the content without it. Nobody is going to produce content exclusively for DRM'd hardware if market penetration of that hardware isn't more than a tiny blip. And consumers aren't going to wait five years for the industry to get its shit together and produce a system that works transparently for authorized users.
One of three things is going to happen: Tools to strip the stream of DRM will become ubiquitous, the scheme will die from lack of adoption, or Microsoft will succeed in prompting a mass move off of the PC platform, thereby finishing the process (started with Windows 8) of slitting its own throat.
Unfortunately, it looks like the advent of PlayReady 3.0 could leave older PCs in the lurch.
Other considerations aside, this alone makes the scheme DOA.
if it's really from wastewater disposal. It should be pretty easy to find an alternate way to dispose of wastewater. Filter it and reuse it or pump it into a big pond and let it evaporate.
Shorter version: "We spend too much on the military so we should also spend too much on everything else."
Because it's "critical".
You don't have to tell me. Clearly absolutely everything is "critical". The internet, and possibly even life itself, will cease to exist if there's even 1 penny less in funding for any area of research.
Without funding, how would we know that climate change causes truffle shortages and violence in Darfur ?
because every area facing cuts is always "critical".
And it's impossible for anyone to make software easy to use without government money to run a study.
Factorials were someone's attempt to make math LOOK exciting.
