Comment Good response to the Systemd fight... (Score 3, Insightful) 221

I see this as a response to the systemd war, and a viable one at that. A server does not need systemd... "It boots faster." Why bother when post takes 20 minutes? "It is tied into udev and network manager." Servers generally don't dhcp or hotplug... Since "the desktop" is going full tilt boogie in one direction and damn everyone who disagrees, it makes sense for the server folks to say "See ya!" And soon after someone posts about how to get lxde running on the server. :)

Comment Re:But the movie selection still sucks (Score 2) 178

I guess it would be nice if their selection were better, or if they had an option for $25 for every movie and every TV show in existence, but that option doesn't exist anywhere.

Yes it does. It ain't legal, but it exists all over the place. And if the industry would get it's collective heads out of it's collective asses (Or the ass in front of it) it would wake up and realize that people would pay a LOT of money for a legal Pirate Bay. And in actuality, a lot of them are. Secure VPNs and seedboxes ain't free.

Comment Re:It is not just the "extra" channels... (Score 1) 108

I was just trying to be a little bit sarcastic, in that I (and many many many others) were using VCRs in the 1980s to "watch whatever I want, whenever I want"... and nowadays (and for the last decade for me) with DVRs.

It's not a new thing.

And yet, somehow the networks still don't get it... Look at the international release delays, among other things...

But, but, but, the free market will solve this problem right? It solves everything!

It could... The free market gave is Bell Labs and Xerox PARC. But it required an openness and lack of government regulation that is missing today. Bell Labs was only well funded when Bell was a monoply. TANSTAAFL
