Not likely since AGW is based on science, and scientific method. Where as deniers are just a bunch of dolts with no science behind them. Ask yourself this: How come AGW deniers never talk about the actual science? They make post like you do: No evidence, no data, every scientist, every agency, every competing country are all in some conspiracy and only the enlightened few* can see 'The Truth!'

*get over yourself already

I read this article earlier. Here's the things people are going to fixate on, without having near enough data actually genuinely analyze them.

The article states that Antarctic Ice was way larger in are in 1964 than it is today(or was in 1972, the until-now earliest satellite data date) And the deniers are going to fixate on the fact that there were holes in the ice.

And since there's not a lick of expert analysis vis-a-vis the implications for climate change involved there, I can't bring myself to care, what some people on slashdot are going to conclude without the numbers.

You wrote some pretty poor daemons. Since you can't be bothered to use the syslog facility, my suggestion is that you start opening files without calling truncate on them after.

Nonsense. The Affordable care act for example is intended to do the opposite. Its a flawed semi-done piece of legislation, but that's because the Republicans have done nothing but obstruct as usual.

What's broken is this. The initt system assumes:

1) All the subsystems boot quickly 2) None of them need to communicate back and forth about status in complex ways 3) The list isn't too long

There exists lots of users for which one or more of those 3 assumptions are false. If you don't assume those 3 then you would design boot differently.

Take a look at things like OpenRC. It manages a lot of that kind of stuff really really well. I'd much rather have it than systemd.

When I was a junior network engineer, I sometimes had to work on (what we now consider ancient) technology such as ATM, Frame Relay and ISDN. I even had my share of IPX/SPX. Back in those days, the experienced network engineers with 20+ years of experience despised Ethernet while complaining about those junior folks who knew nothing about the established technologies. As it turned out, all of them are out of a job now. Bottom line is, when it comes to technology progress, roots are pretty much irrelevant. I don't care if something has been done like this for 1000 years. If we can find a better way to do it, let's do it. The question should be whether or not systemd is progress, or an unnecessary burden. History is irrelevant in this case.

I have and they remain not as bad as snookering the country into a war based on fabricated evidence. Even some of the R's supporters have come to realize that.

Except that if Comcast gets caught doing that, they'll be slapped as common carriers before they can take their next breath. Now, that doesn't mean you're wrong. It just means there is incentive to not play too dirty (purposeful degradation)

I'm not all that fond of either one, but sitting out here in 3rd party territory, the Ds seem to be less packed with idiots and crooks.
