Haven't these guys ever been to Harbor Freight?

Now wait, didn't Linus himself refuse to let systemd become a kernel dependency? I think the poster has a point. I've used systemd on Arch linux and there's a lot not to like about it and not that much to like about it. I'm a linux newbie as well, so I don't have any particular previous init experience. And doesn't kernel modesetting sort of obviate the need for a complex init?

I would like to laud the poster for including numbers in his post, and for supporting their veracity in an extremely convincing fashion. Perhaps K-12 computer science education will help bring these CS techniques to public discourse, perhaps not. At SlashDot, though, we should all strive to emulate this example.

Thus far 217 comments. It's difficult to believe that there are 217 people in the entire world with reasonable knowledge of the subject matter. Oh for the days when people were smarter, or braver, or just plain more determined. Even if we all can't agree what should be done with the Hanford facility, it would be nice nice as a country to have the option/ability to do something other than nothing.
