First cases were reported in China in November. They closed the country in January. this is not very quick. Other countries did it faster. But because China lied, they started late.

Also; the fubared way it steals logs. (journald does that).
NOTHING, litterally nothing prevents you from running rsyslog alongside it.
Some distro even come preconfigured this way out of the box (e.g.: openSuse Tumbleweed. You get both journald and rsyslog)
Not yet! I don't like systemd, but I can live with it. My problem is that systemd is not only about init. Check the latest Ubuntu to see how many systemd-* processes are started by default. You still have a choice to replace them (not all of them very easy). But I bet you will not have an option in a couple of years.

Actually, I think it's a problem that the anti-systemd forces keep going on about "the unix way" and what-not... haven't they been paying attention to the way things really work? (Hint: if esr says it, it's probably not quite right. [1])
You are right, this is the main problem. I like working "the unix way" and this is why I like Linux. The moment you change this, all the fun will go away. And fun is very important for me when I work.
Perl kicked Bourne butt by merging nearly everything you want into one process-- that's something you'd think a sysadmin would've noticed.
Right again. But you have a choice to use Perl or not. It is not like installing Perl will make it impossible for you to use your loving shell.
Submission + - Ozone hole growth finally negative (www.empa.ch)
i kan reed writes: While the production and release of CFCs have been reduced for a couple decades now, the ozone hole had continued to grow through the 80s and 90s, and in the 2000s and 2010s it has been stable in size, with trends towards shrinking just beginning to show.
Some concerns do remain, as not all CFCs have shown reductions in atmospheric concentrations.

Google Releases Street View Images From Fukushima Ghost Town 63
mdsolar writes in with news that Goolge has released Street View pictures from inside the zone that was evacuated after the Fukushima disaster. "Google Inc. (GOOG) today released images taken by its Street View service from the town of Namie, Japan, inside the zone that was evacuated after the Fukushima nuclear disaster in March 2011. Google, operator of the world's biggest Web search engine, entered Namie this month at the invitation of the town's mayor, Tamotsu Baba, and produced the 360-degree imagery for the Google Maps and Google Earth services, it said in an e-mailed statement. All of Namie's 21,000 residents were forced to flee after the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami crippled the Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear plant, about 8 kilometers (5 miles) from the town, causing the world's worst nuclear accident after Chernobyl. Baba asked Mountain View, California-based Google to map the town to create a permanent record of its state two years after the evacuation, he said in a Google blog post."
