Have you tried ArchLinux?

Arch lost its way when it started shipping and System D as the default init and banning users from its forums for disagreeing with that dreadful action.

I was once a Arch user a couple years ago. It was a awesome distro back then but now it has lost the KISS way!

What sucks is after years of watching Java disappear from the consumer desktop its fucking making a comeback, ARGH! Why is it coming back? Damned Java games like fricking Minecraft that's why. Why oh why did the game designers suddenly decide to start using Java again,is it because of Android? if so the person who came up with Android needs to be shot because this is a fricking nightmare! To give geeks a better understanding imagine if after all these years suddenly IE 6 made a major comeback, wouldn't you want to scream? For the love of God it was almost dead on the desktop! /walks away muttering and sobbing/

Troll much?

Java is the best cross platform language in the world. Billions more devices and computer run Java than Windows. Java is making a comeback because it never went anywhere. If I want my application to reach as many people as possible I use Java.

What I find funny is that BSD is finally, after 10 years of ATT/UNIX trademark fearing BS, starting to not only catch up but exceed in technical developments and market growth.

Proof?

I've used it as my main desktop for almost 15 years. Well, ok FreeBSD specifically. I run Linux, and a little windows too. All the servers are BSD.
BSD has ZFS, which is the reason Linux has ZFS, because BTRFS is still vaporware.

Vaporware? I'm using BTRFS as we speak

I like not having to worry about KERNEL from Linux + GNU from third parties to make a whole OS... BSD projects provide the sum of those two IN HOUSE. You get the whole OS from one shop. So all that is left is the packages you want to install like X, Firefox, GIMP, whatever just like any other OS.

Your first point Is a matter of opinion, and I can do the same thing by using Debian, Slackware or Gentoo.

Because minimum wages cause job shortages. If you increase the minimum wage, you will increase unemployment among those affected. It's a choice you have to make. Minimum wages are essentially a form of price control, and you get similar results. You can find this info in any basic economics textbook.

Wrong on all points.

"the SETI team can now place important limits on the likelihood of finding a sufficiently advanced alien race in the Milky Way. Generating a powerful radio signal requires a lot of energy, so the team point out that they will most likely detect a civilization capable of generating an isotropic signal (i.e. a radio transmission that is emitted in all directions). This would require the civilization to harness the total power output of their host star, making them a Kardashev type II civilization."

Okaayyyy.... but the religionists are full of blind faith and wishful thinking. Ah. Got it. Yup."

So true keep believing in your sky pirates.

Yes. The idea that life could evolve in the same way it did here somewhere else in the galaxy with similar conditions is just as looney as believing in a sky wizard who hates homosexuals and loves killing brown people, who believe in another, but different sky wizard who likewise hates homosexuals but loves killing white people, and each sky wizard claims that the other is a false sky wizard, although they both agree that the world is 6,000 years old. Yeah, those two things are both completely the same. You sure delivered a convincing argument there.

Still the same thing, intelligent life outside our planet is about is real as a sky wizard is. But keep telling yourself its not so you can keep believing in some sky pirates.

What fascist organization do you represent?

When you can't win on the merits of your argument, call your opponents fascists, Nazis, racists, elitists, rich, privileged, etc.

That's the classic ad hominem attack:

"You shouldn't listen to this guy because he's a fascist!"

In addition, if you're over 13, it's a pointless and recognizably played out tactic.

People who argue like that are the people who slow down society and ruin workplaces by consistently opposing any notion of quality control.

U mm okay so you yourself do not deny you're a fascist?
