I totally agree.
Adjusting to the US business culture of "Don't offend anyone even with the truth" thing took a LOT of getting used to when I emigrated to the US from England about 12 years ago. Not least because I don't actually agree with the sentiment.

I'm fairly sure I still unintentionally offend people sometimes by saying stuff that would be considered perfectly polite in the UK.

>> If you're a Linux fan, I'd be surprised if the only reason you like Linux is it's script-based init system.

For me at least, its not the only reason but its certainly one of the big benefits. I like being able to non-ambiguously see and control exactly what is really going on, and to even be able to run those scripts individually in a sandbox if I want.

I also really like plaintext system log files, having to now use some commandline tool to continually create them first is nothing but a giant pain in the ass.

For me at least, Systemd takes a lot of simplicity and usability away, with nothing even close to a correspondingly sized gain in other benefits.

Comment What ever happened to quality reviewing? (Score 1) 74

The occulus team have put a massive amount of resource and effort into identifying and minimizing motion blur, input lag, head tracking lag and other artifacts that cause nausea and other subconcious effects that make their unit less useable and/or realistic.

Consequently there is literally no way that you do or even could ever get the same experience just from strapping a phone to your head. This is yet another example of sloppy unprofessional reviewing based on only the most superficial and immediately apparent aspects of the product.

I'm ignoring you from now on because you're completely clueless at least about EU history.

WW1 was actually caused by stress about the balance of political power between the "Great Power" countries (i.e. the majority) in Europe.

WW2 was directly caused by Germany invading Poland, a result of the rise of the Nazi party (who were elected by a majority coalition).

Really? so either the crusades did not occur 1k years ago, or multiple fatalities of innocent people from islamic terrorist attacks are not happening daily? ...and you are seriously claiming that Christianity instructs the killing of people if they insult jesus and/or Christianity does not teach us to forgive? ..and that Christianity teaches the denial of basic human rights?

Perhaps you'd share where in the new testament is all this?

dude the old testament bible hasn't hardly been relevant let alone dictated the tenets of modern Christianity for over 2000 years. Its what Jesus was all about.
