*I* think it's funny that you believe being overly pedantic is going to help move the discussion forward. Nerds or not we should all know how to have a conversation without assuming things not in evidence. And still you persist with believing the OP thinks there is "no risk". Perhaps nerds don't know how to ask clarifying questions?

He didn't say "no risk" he *at best* implied "no risk." My reading of his comment was that he implied "low-risk" actually. That's why I say your over-the-top reaction to it was unnecessary since your confidence in what he meant should be low.

Except - Comcast has signed exclusivity deals with those towns and won't let you build or make it prohibitively expensive to build there.

Wow man - this is casual conversation. To take an "implies" and turn it into "a complete disregard for probability" is just way over the top in this context.

Where did the person you replied to say there was no risk?

So it's worth people dying in order to proclaim us to be a nation of "not-wimps?"

Missed the sarcasm I see?

All of which are *much* more efficient than "ctrl+c" + "ctrl+v". I'll be honest - I like the highlight + center-click thing for the most part. But there are a number of times where explicit copy/paste is much nicer. And I think at this point it's actually more efficient overall. ctrl+c is pretty damned easy to hit and removes the accidental copy issues one can run into. Also having *one* copy/paste buffer is *enormously* better than Linux's sorta-kinda-two. Yes, workarounds...

and occasionally less efficient - especially if you want to paste *over* something like a URL.

Select new URL, select old URL, paste, oh crap, delete old URL, got *back* and select new URL, paste.

Sounds like this app would be very helpful then.

Mod up!

This is why I feel scientists and others need to distance policy decisions from the science of climate change. Get the facts accepted first. Worry about policy afterwards. After all - that *is* the area of politics (for better or for worse).

Heck - maybe Republicans would offer a very good market-based solution once they get on board with the science? We can't know until they do.

Why does init have to handle ntpd?

It doesn't. If you don't want it to then don't install systemd-timesyncd.

Who or what did I compare to Nazis or Hitler?

Hint - nobody.

You seem to be confusing "I don't care about it" with "it's not newsworthy." Your strongest argument is "they have the right to do it."

Well damn - nothing ever newsworthy involves somebody doing something they have the right to do? So if they start publishing pro-nazi propaganda that's not "newsworthy?"

The very fact that people are discussing the issue makes it newsworthy - your apathy notwithstanding.
