Technically correct, but do you not consider some laws unworthy of respect? Outside the area of drug and gun laws for example (AFAIK) anal and oral sex were criminal in many parts of the US as recently as twelve years ago.

I don't like it much either. On the other hand, if it meant that support was available as long as there are enough subscribers I think many people would come to like it; especially if they grandfathered (not sure I'm using the term correctly here) XP and Server 2003 into the plan...

What was this "one case" and how did you figure out it really happened? I'm not saying Snopes can't be wrong, but you don't make it easy to check whether you're correct here.

Donations?

What do you mean? How will owning a dumbphone tomorrow be any harder or more impossible/illegal than it was yesterday?

Wait, are there actually buyers for old accounts? What's today's rate for a late five-digit account? Few bucks won't be worth the trouble to arrange the sale.

Right. I wouldn't classify for example greatly increased hardware support as bloat. Technically it probably is, but then in this case the word doesn't have the usual negative connotations.

Could you give an example of "bloat" in the Linux kernel? Probably any feature, architecture or device driver you deem useless is essential to someone else.

I wonder if people sentenced for "expressing support for the attacks" includes any vocal critics of surveillance or related government actions. Also punishing those who don't readily condemn terrorism sounds like terrifying thoughtcrime stuff; I hope governments heard me condemning the attacks to my dog so I don't get raided.

WTF does having a beard have to do with anything?

Whether they do or don't aside, how can Red Hat pressure for example Debian to adopt systemd? I don't see what leverage they have.

Some may have cross dependencies, but you're right, generally they don't and systemd isn't really comparable this way.

But surely all the work isn't done by one executable? GNU coreutils do a lot of things, but each executable does just one thing. If systemd is split up in a similar fashion (as I hope and assume it is), then I don't think it's a problem whether init & ntpd come from the same project or separate projects.

I'm curious who you're representing when you say for example "we had" and "our tactical response". Do you mean Christians, or any non-Muslims, or Americans, or something else?

There was also mention of a third suspect who was in custody, although with injuries so they may be unable to speak as well.
