You are normally not a moron, so it pains me to say this: You are being intentionally obtuse.

If systemd ONLY did what you are claiming everyone is so unhappy about, then NOBODY would be unhappy about systemd. Have you not been listening to the expressive and coherent descriptions of why people find systemd so fundamentally objectionable?

A shame. Despite me not liking your position/ownership on patents concerning ragdoll physics, I have always thought you were a reasonable person... but this intentional blindness, this willful ignorance of what makes people reject systemd at such a fundamental level... I just don't know man. I just do not know. I am sad.

I am a bad person. I ran across a bundle of these pics the other day and decided to look at them.

Honestly, there was nothing terribly exciting or shameful about the pics. They were pictures of people doing what people do. A couple of the pics almost rose to the level of porn as did a couple of the .mov files... but meh. Again, why would anyone be shocked that beautiful people have sex and exhibit sexual desires? None of this is scandalous and I see none of the people any differently than I saw them before. I actually forgot most of their names already. I seem to recall... Kirsten Dunst being in about 4 pictures but I think they were just breast shots. Not a huge deal. We have already seen most of her breasts already, just the nipple being missing. Hell, she probably had a topless scene in one of her movies already anyways.

It is shameful that anyone would see the pictures as scandalous. Everyone who considers the pictures to be scandalous are either terrible terrible people or people who are boring victims of society. No, the only scandal here is that someone is breaking in to other peoples' accounts and grabbing personal information. I really should not have viewed the pictures myself. I just wanted to see what all the yelling and screaming was about. The yelling and screaming is about the wrong thing, the pictures, rather than the right thing, the invasion of privacy.

Not EVERY field. Just the fields that tend to pay better than average and are physically easy. For example:
http://www.theguardian.com/mon...

Oil rig workers tend to earn a lot but the work is physically hard. How many women do you see yelling and screaming about the even worse numbers there than for "sitting at a computer typing all day" type jobs?

I have a daughter. She has zero technical interests at all. I have a son. He has some technical interests, but just barely. It appears to me that the majority of people just have no interest in learning anything past about the 4th to 7th grades. After examining their friends to see if what I was seeing was normal, I found out that my children are fairly representative of their peers. In fact, they do have a slight edge on their peers because most of their friends have no interest at all in the society that has been left to them. There is nothing in it for them so why try? My children are at least trying somewhat but they do not appear to be hopeful at all about their futures. :(

This! This is what will be the downfall of Microsoft. It will be sudden and it will final. Microsoft burned ALL of their bridges getting to where they are now. Once the business desktop is lost, the rest of it will fall for Microsoft within a few years. They have a small prayer of staying alive with their Microsoft Office line of software after that... but I would not bet on it.

Yes, but if Microsoft says that the operating system only (only? really? I used to work on computers that had 4 kilobytes or RAM... but whatever) needs 863 megabytes of RAM then you can bet there will be a LOT of manufacturers out there that will find a way to get less than a gigabyte of RAM into their machines with millions of not very tech savvy customers buying them and getting upset at how crappy their experience is.

In other words, it is in Microsoft's best interest to set requirements ABOVE what the operating system itself requires.

Yeah, but... 32 bit? Oy. 32 bit was an awesome upgrade from 16 bit but it was still probable that we were going to hit limits quickly... which we did. 64 bit is a nice bit of breathing room. 128 bit should be the final change as with 128 bits, you can have more memory in the machine than there are atoms on this planet.

See? This one of the reasons why it is stupid to start your message in the subject box.

Really. Just stop. Use the subject to tell us the subject. Use the body to discuss the subject. it is not THAT hard.

Thank you.

What the fuck are you talking about?! Sweet innocent little girls would NEVER take nude pictures of themselves if it were not for the perverted men they have innocently fallen in love with not mentally pressuring them to do so. Girls have no sexual desires until they are married and lose their virginity and even then, it is not sex they want, it is closeness and the creation of children that they want.

Those girls need the protection of society so that they are not forced into this degenerate behavior.

Yeah, it is about time the white men got what was coming to them. I think they need a few centuries of oppression to really experience the misery they have put black men and all women through.

Hell, white men still have it so great. They get selected first for every job out there. They have laws enshrining their right to be selected first. They get the largest amounts of college scholarships. In every marriage dissolution, the woman has to pay back all of the money the man gave them during the marriage and she has to continue supporting his lifestyle afterwards. A white man can just yell, "discrimination", and have the police, courts, and HR departments immediately on their side.

We need to reverse all of that. Fuck the white man.

I am curious. What do the letters SJW stand for?

Steve Jobs Workplace?
Sexy Jehovah's Witnesses?
Stop Jumping Widely?

Hm. No. It has something to do with sex... so
Sex Junk Wins?
Sex Jews and Whiskey?
Sexy Jerk Women?
Sexy Jungle Women?
Slippery Jungian Women?

I dunno. I do not care enough about this shit to really research it myself. It is all absurd.

Um... hey. While I appreciate a good rant, it is wise to save it for where it matters.

Regardless of what you think about freedoms, liberty, etc. The rest of humanity is best served by keeping your ass quarantined regardless of the form of government. Even in an anarchy, you will be quarantined... probably permanently. Nobody wants to die because of you if you are a disease carrier.

Wow! I have NEVER seen the Civil War characterized that THAT before. Just wow. What kind of mental deformations did you have to experience before you could interpret past events in such a manner?

You kind of have to appreciate the genius of Osama bin Laden. It is even more poignant that he even described fully what he was doing and the effect he intended to achieve... and it still happened. Absolutely amazing. You would think that with such an explicit description, the situation would have been avoidable, but it seems that the description became a target for Congress, the President, and the rest of the Executive to focus on like a homing missile.

Just amazing. It is like he had direct control. Gotta appreciate the genius of it.

It is a shame I did not save at least one mod point. Your comment needs it.

I fought long and hard to get Firefox installed on government computers and integrating TOR at the source code level would get Firefox yanked faster than you can say FISMA. I swear to god someone in Mozilla is actively trying to destroy Firefox. There is no other reasonable explanation for what is going on.

It is already too late for that. I have wifi and bluetooth disabled and yet I STILL received an SMS from a store in a mall as I walked by. I deleted it without even looking at the "special offer". I felt violated and creeped out.
