or more like "systemd's parts don't have to be as tightly coupled as they are"

rhel 7 (systemd one) just came out. for enterprise shops, it's not even out yet. they will look at it once it has been out for a couple of years. maybe redhat expects systemd to be in shape by that time, screw the early adopters

the publicity alone might be worth the effort.
it's one thing to say "they complained" or "the yes men got them" - "sued" seems to capture news-entertainment people in the usa a bit more

this seemed to be handled w/o systemd just fine for years. was it networkmanager ? probably. don't care. but it was never tied to the init system, login or anything else. having it all in a single, hairy ball of code is quite scary.

those times are almost never caused by the os - usually it's this disk controller, that out of bounds controller, this firmware, that timeout.
even when it is the os, it's not the init system as such, it's a database, which is needed for some app and so on.

where have you seen up to 30 minute bootup time where init system would contribute in a whatsoever notable way to that time ?

it's not normal. seems to be used by americans only - it's one way to identify an american :)

km/h - try to remember that.

never even researched dkim or spf properly, my mailserver can send mails to google just fine

The answer, my friend, is bobbing in the wind.

there, fixed that for you

also, cancel formula 1. it's purely for entertainment and those brave pilots die every now and then.

slashdot beta and systemd. there must be something common between them.

i'm pretty sure all atheists can be convinced if the fucking god (or his in-bred son) would kinda come down and, you know, appear.
or if zeus would smite a couple of minor towns.
or if shiva would rampage through london.

you know, like real things happening :)

or, a shorter version (supposedly by asimov) :

The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."

amazon charged me for their "prime" or whatever that shit is called after i signed up for "free trial".
if they have to to such sleazy tricks, they must be a crap company, and i have boycotted them since then. cheating companies might seem cheaper, but they will fuck you over in the end.

uh, microsoft fucked up market share of nokia badly enough already. and how do you keep market share by renaming the product to something that is not only less known in the area, but also associated with... not the most exciting thing ever ?

ok, maybe they didn't rename it, they just killed the old, good products and introduced a new one.
