Next week: systemd announces integration of drugs.
Beta blockers are for reducing blood pressure; systemd is for raising it. };-)
With Steve Jobs dead, he's having a hard time sending out his pre-election "I urge you all to vote Democrat" emails. And yes, I have about 5 of those archived.
I don't think this is actually a major factor, I think it's more people are pissed off by the people currently in power, and want change - any change - from what's currently happening.

Everyone should just be glad that it doesn't require Google+ integration. Seems like just about everything they do now is getting tied to that millstone in one way or another.
Apparently you missed the memo... Google+ is being deemphasized, and the guy behind it is no longer with the company.
Until they don't support all browsers I don't care about 60fps.
Totally agree. Support all browsers!
I'm particularly upset about the lack of support for Lynx!
Yeah, all three steps have happened and you won't see that anytime soon because you are in denial.
So I'm in denial for denying climante-change-deniers by saying I think there's something to anthropogenic climate change?
Wow, you really are "CaptainDork"...
Why the mailing lists broke... They didn't follow RFC 2476 with regard to RFC2822 headers and what can and can not be rewritten, and then they failed to sign the messages with their own mail server signatures.
If you are going to send messages, the policies and protocols force you to take responsibility for the fact that you've sent them, and if you're unwilling to do that, then you don't get to send mail to people who don't like you not taking responsibility.
Too bad, so sad, fix your configuration or you lose.
Really? I thought the point was one person standing up to the plate and stating the truth and the entrenched deniers having a major cow over it.
No. It's one person "standing up to the plate" and making statements contradicting established doctrine.
For there to be an equivalent to a Galileo situation, you'd need:
(1) Established doctrine would have to be wrong
(2) Someone who said established doctrine was wrong
(3) Then proved it
I don't see that happening any time soon.
... where MUCH later, official apologies are issued all around by the deniers.
Except Galileo contradicted established doctrine. Established doctrine in this case is anthropogenic climate change existing.
So really bad analogy here.
You see, the thing is, that unlike your average slashdot reader the people at the IPCC actually RTFA so are allowed to have an opinion.
"...and non-peer-reviewed sources"
Which could include Slashdot articles, for all you know.
Can we quit publishing about the IPCC?
"The IPCC does not carry out its own original research, nor does it do the work of monitoring climate or related phenomena itself. The IPCC bases its assessment on the published literature, which includes peer-reviewed and non-peer-reviewed sources."
Kind of says it all... they reach the conclusions they are paid to reach by finding published literature that supports those conclusions, even if that literature is from sources which are considered "crackpot" by real scientists because they lack peer-review.
If you are on the anti-side, these idiots being uncredentialed as climatologists does nothing but give you ammunition; if you are on the pro-side, then you aren't doing yourselves any favors by giving these guys a bully pulpit from which to preach.
The first rule of systemd is: You do not talk about systemd. The second rule of systemd is: You do not talk about systemd. Third rule of systemd: Someone yells stop, goes limp, Godwins out, the discussion is over. Fourth rule: only two guys to a systemd conversation.
If it was an OS X knock off then why aren't the distro's using launchd. Serious question - launchd is fine.
Something to to with the number of Mach messages a second Linux doesn't do...
Seriously, launchd suffers from the same constraint/soft dependency problem that systemd has. It's possible to deal with it by providing imperitive rules, but getting the races out when trying to express them as constraints is
How about not being afraid of an imaginary threat.
' if they aren't symptomatic they aren't contagious,' Period. I am not contagious. Neither is the nurse in Maine. or anyone except the Dr. in New York. In 10 days no one in the U.S. will be contagious. The quarantine in NJ is a publicity stunt run for political gain only.
A man with a Nobel prize in medicine disagrees.

So does a PCR study published in The Lancet which, via PCR assay, established 11 out of 24 asymptomatic individuals following the 1996 outbreak in Gabon (also a 70% fatality strain).

Not that you should perhaps trust someone who won a Nobel in Medicine for his immunology work, or that you should trust 10 of the top medical researchers working on the Ebola problem. Note that some of these are coauthors on papers with Leaf Bio researcher Larry Zeitlin PhD, President of Mapp Biopharmaceutical, otherwise known as the developers of MB-003 / ZMapp, the investigatory drug that cured the first several victims of Ebola who were flown into the U.S..

Just because a lot of people would like to believe that you have to be bleeding out every orifice before you're contagious won't make it so.
An authority is a person who can tell you more about something than you really care to know.
