Because the world is perfect and none of our code ever had bugs or design flaws? And people never hype their crap, actively mislead and deceive us?

Of COURSE the world is run in the feelings of NTs because THATS NORMAL. NT's are normal people, not abnormal people, not people with special needs. Just ordinary, normal people.

Also, and this may be news to you, normal people aren't all the same and some happen to dislike oversocialisation. They can dislike oversocialisation and still be totally normal people and not in the least bit autistic.

You don't have to be autistic to find oversocialisation in work meetings to be a problem. Where I work easily half our team meetings are taken up with jokes and banter. Its ridiculous because we actually have work to discuss and work to do after the meetings.

If only people would stop cracking jokes things would be so much better for me. We are there, at the work place, to do a job. That job is not being comedians, its being engineers.

And I am very proudly neurotypical.

Actually thats kind of my theory on IPSEC... far too complex to configure, unnecessarily so. Easy to 'accidentally' set up IPSEC in unsecure ways because the system is so fiendishly complicated it almost encourages the administrator to make mistakes.

Because 'new' usually means untried, insufficiently tested, poorly documented etc. All the kinds of things that IT does not want in production systems, because it will mean the pager going off at 2am on a regular basis.

I'm addressing this to Lennart, not RHEL.

Well, do you actually take on board the concerns of system administrators and enterprise users?

What a lot of people are concerned about is that this entirely new and largely untested (in the 'wild', as it were) and very very large, complex piece of software which runs at a very very privileged level in the operating system is going to become the main source of security vulnerabilities in Linux.

Can we have a cut-down, simplified version of systemd for servers and doesn't try to replace several layers of server side system functionality such as logging?

Its clear that you listen to desktop users. How about listening to the system administrators?

I'm offended by your taking offence at their view point. Please take back your offence now.

No *true* mainstream Scotsman anyway.

I'd love to see what would happen if someone made a movie about the assassination of Obama, while he is still in office, and how the assassination is really funny.

I can't believe that the Secret Service would just turn a blind eye to it on the grounds of 'free speech'. My suspicion is that just writing the screenplay for such a movie would attract a lot of unwanted attention from several 3-letter agencies in the USA.

Wikipedia has a list of games based on ASCII art graphics, hope it helps.

I think its probably just a difference between Russian culture and Mongolian. Like I said, eg Koreans write their family name first. Some elements of Russian culture were fairly unchanged in Mongolia others got transformed. I've always wondered why ice hockey didn't take off in Mongolia; they could play it outdoors 6 months of the year!

When they write their names in latin script they tend to write the fathers name last, when they write it in cyrillic the fathers name goes first. They seem to think this is more correct. Many asian naming conventions put the family name first so perhaps this is related.

Mongolians don't have 'family names'.

These days they use the 'patronymic' system which was introduced by the Russians, so you have your given name and your fathers given name. Typically the fathers given name is put first, so if your dad was Dave and you are Bob your FULL name would be Dave Bob.

Before the Russian influence Mongolians had their tribal name and their given name but this was 'phased out' by the communists. Until relatively recently no one used their tribal names and many Mongolians forgot them. Even today employers don't record peoples tribal name and its hardly ever used. It appears on birth certificates but not in passports; a modern Mongolian passport will have the fathers given name in the 'surname' field.

This can cause issues for mixed marriages and international travel with children as the name on the childs passport would make little sense to immigration officials in other countries and they might assume that the foreign father travelling with his child isn't the real father and that theres something fishy going on. (ie your name is Dave Smith, your sons name is Bobby. Normally his passport would have his name as "Bobby Smith", but if he was born in Mongolia his passport would have his name as "Bobby Dave". You have to get special dispensation from the director of the passport office to have the name on the passport in conventional, international format.

Under the new regime the state identity papers list the tribal name so everyone has to provide them. Since many people just don't know it they use 'Borjigin' which is Chinggis Khans tribe. Thus the official numbers of this tribe is going up and up even though most of them are not actually biologically from that tribe.

The entirety of geopolitics is now and always has been a gigantic exercise in kettles calling pots black.
