It is not your device because you do not control it. Period.

Unicode and UTF8 is quite simple and elegant solution for log i18n. WTF i need binary log format for?

Well, we have enough examples of wonderful pieces of programming art and creativity of Mr. Poettering. I wander if all of RedHat's top-programmers are genius?
Lennart's systemd is broken by design and pain in the ass, his PulseAudio is pain in the ass for each man who works with sound on Linux, his lidaemon is constantly unfinished and semi-working masterpiece...

This guy is just a soul of destruction. He breaks everything he touches.
Hey, RadHat management guys!!! Do you ever read what people think about your programmers?

PS. Yes, I remember that BSD is irrelevant, according to Mr. Poeterring. That's why I'm going to throw away all RedHat's stuff from my computers at home and at work until it's too late and replace it by FreeBSD and OpenBSD. Hope, BSD community is sane enough to keep guys like this one as far as possible.

Well, what they mean saying "proactive"? Best way is to get rid of botnets sitting in each Windows PC across the land. How to do that? Kill owners? :)

No, just do it right way: "C:\" is the best solution!

Well, so called "new generation" is about breaking rules without understanding what those rules for. I can't say they are totally brain-dead but they do not understand "UNIX soul" definitely. Simplicity? No, chaos! Lenart Poettering is very known by his ugly and annoying "PulseAudio" that is in every Linux distribution now. Do we need another his "innovation"? Is there at RedHat some person with a bit of brains to stop him?

Let them patent the way man pee and every man will pay M$ pee taxes.

I do not understand, really do not understand, WHY that shit he wrote is "in infrastructure". I never thought that I can hate free software developer. Now I do because of pulseaudio, The worst thins, that removing this piece of shit from "infrastructure" if harder and harder task.

Lennart is polluting infrastructure with his shit, that's what he does.

Windows is most popular OS. It's obvious. Who uses it? Hmm, forget this question. Well, Linux is gaining popularity more and more. Even blonds know today something about Linux. Therefore it is being filled with different crap like PulseAudio. BSD is for old-school professionals only. So, dear Lennart Poettering, why you dare speak about BSDs?!! Looking at that shit, you wrote, called libdaemon, pulseaudio and others, I do not think you're old-school professional.

Pulseaudio, b.t.w is the first thing I remove after installation. I's the most annoying piece of crap in any linux dist.

Regarding BSDs. It will never be "popular". It has academic model of development and strong user community. This is like classical music and pop music. Classical music is dying last 100 years.

Market leader? Are you nuts?!! Sales leader - may be. All that they are good in is selling shit.

Guys, you may say anything defending Microsoft and OEMs on that idiotic practice to sell hardware with crapware. But say me, what I must do if I do need it all really? Why I should pay for stupidity of others?!! It's almost impossible here in Ukraine to get refund from any vendor. And I can not buy good notebook without Windows 7 I'm not going to use at all. Why I should just give 200 bucks to Microsoft for nothing?!!

Everyone with his head on shoulders knows that Microsoft rapes every OEM and forces them to install widooze, not linux. Remember ASUS story with EEE PC? That's simply the dirty way to keep monopoly. Nothing more.

And if you such a stupid oxymoron that needs windooze preinstalled, I'm sure you can not tell the difference if you get KDE4 with linux and OpenOffice instead of widooze!

And yes, they(OEMs) MAY sell windooze software pack separately in separate box with separate price. They already do that by supplying "rescue" disk.

One should be just an stupid brain-dead idiot not be able to put DVD in drive or flash in USB and power up notebook to start fully automatic install of that crapware.

I really do not care about authors desktop, where Linux is dead. On my desktop, on my notebook, on my pocket PC Linux is pretty alive and serving all my needs. The same with a lot of my friends and colleagues. :)

Every paid internet box in every hotel is under Linux, and nobody cares.

Windows is alive but only by inertia, momentum of market and inertia of people's thinking. 2'nd and
even first fluxion of Windows usage is negative.

Well, only Russian words from well known vocabulary may describe this situation. Thanks God, we in Europe do not have to obey stupid American patent law and practice! Pestets!

Yeah, Windows is most secure and reliable environment for viruses, bots, worms and other malware. Windows is the best platform for botnets and the excellent tool for DDoS-ers. Zillions of cracked commercial software allows quick, secure and reliable distribution of trojans. No other platform on the market can't do it better.
