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?

Book Review: The Plateau Effect: Getting From Stuck To Success 121
benrothke writes "One of the challenges in reading The Plateau Effect: Getting from Stuck to Success is figuring how to classify it. Amazon has it ranked mainly in applied psychology, but also time management and inexplicable personal finance. In some ways it is all of the above and more. In fewer than 300 pages, the authors reference myriad different areas of science, mathematics, psychology and more; in the effort to show the reader how they can elevate themselves from the stuff in life that glues them to the status quo."

Comment Oh for the days (Score 1) 292
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.
