Indeed! Feel free to demand a refund or refer to the contract you signed... Nobody's forcing anyone to use it.

I must now assume that any comment on this page of the 'so what?' or 'everyone does it' variety or any downplaying whatsoever is in fact a paid shill. That includes any disagreements with this statement :)

I'd love to see an autonomous F1 series!

Some things that I'd love to see as options in rdbms: Enforced globally unique column names - natural joins on everything. Throw an exception if a query requires a table scan (bonus points if it printed the statement that would create

"police revenue": that's terrifying. How is turning law enforcement into a legally protected extortion gang a good idea?

What makes the cables that carry data different from power, water, phone, gas (does America do gas-powered hobs?) Or are you telling us that 25% of the US population doesn't have these things either?

I feel like you're being deliberately disingenuous here. Most of your rebuttals are straw-man arguments or they take a very narrow interpretation of the original statement.

Do they have any problem with controllers directing planes into the ground or pilots deliberately crashing? Most of my flight sims ended that way after I got bored.

"the lens was born ready and doesn't care about your plans" gave me a good chuckle, thanks!

PID 1 should be boring. Tiny, simple and boring. Any software project that raises this much controversy should be looked at with a raised eyebrow. A software project this large, complex, controversial and coupled that wants to be PID 1? Abs

It's a bit like how all the casinos in Vegas are owned by something like 3 companies, or how all the detergents are owned by Unilever.

Just because something has a de facto rather than de jure specification does not make it unspecified.

Yes, wouldn't a server want to depend on the DESKTOP BUS? Ok, snarky, yes. Still want to know the answer :) Also, why is it that the ONLY alternative ever mentioned is sysvinit? Systemd is not the 2nd init system ever invented, nor eve

I bought it. If someone (cough)Jetbrains were to offer a full blown IDE with code-navigation, refactoring tools, smart autocomplete etc etc. I would pay them 10 times as much.

Unqualified absolute statements (like this one!) are always wrong. It's not possible to make a generalized assertion about the correct way to deal with time. If you're building a global distributed database, you probably want all

I see your random statistic and raise you... Saudi Arabia: http://www.numbeo.com/quality-of-life/rankings_by_country.js... Not so much disagreeing as pointing out that condensing something as complex as living standard

It's interesting to think about what would happen if all restrictions from markets were removed. There would be plenty of order-stuffing and price shenanigans. One could argue that is happening already, just in a sophisticated way that

You're going to _love_ systemd. I think someone found a kitchen sink in there once.

If you get past the terrifying warning, it even gives you the command to copy and paste. You don't even have to type it!

A solution: Discrete double auctions. Instead of continuous trading, the exchange can divide up the day into a series of small windows (say 100ms). When you come to trade in the market, you have to wait for the next window to open. You subm

It's bordering on unreadable at the moment. Turns out you can't just slam a bunch of advertising markup on top of a web page and assume it all works fine. Who knew.
