Makes sense. How many are here not because they post or read regularly but because they saw this posted elsewhere?
What the hell is with all the javascript around here now?

Are you saying that there aren't windows 95/98/2000/older machines out there doing work? Because there are. This really is going to be a non-event.

Then code a quality easter egg with full test cases and stellar documentation.

systemd is from Red Hat. It was adopted by other distros because they believed it solved a problem, not because Red Hat tried to tell others that they must use it.

Is this the same bullshit that almost made Audi pull out of the US? It looks like it.

Replacing systemd with smf and btrfs with zfs would be fantastic. Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris did so many things just right and Linux so wrong.

Did you see them before? This release didn't add them, it added more. Personally I have no idea where they are.

I play less now because I'm bored with them since they're really the same rinse and repeat grind
Ya that happens to heroin addicts all the time. It's just the same damn high time after time, they get bored of it and stop.
Just admit you didn't have the self control to curtail something you wanted to do. Quit trying to hide behind some 'it's not my fault" excuse.

Then you both have crappy Internet connections. It is easy to say, "what are you complaining about, it's fine" when you've never had a good connection.
I said whining and I did it in an extremely condescending way, because the whole premise of the article is 'how will I ever survive on 1.5mbps.' It wasn't, 'this kind of sucks but oh well.' The article is whining like a little bitch for having speeds comparable to most of the rest of the US.
my home which has 150 down, 65 up
That's it? How ever do you manage, I would die if I was ever constrained so much. BTW you seem to be under the impression I've never used faster.

OMFG how ever will you survive on 1.5mbps?
5 years ago where I live finally got DSL at 768bps. 2 years ago it actually got bumped to a maximum of 3mbps. WTF are you whining about?

they allow family doctors to diagnose ADHD and prescribe the meds at all
You wouldn't think about going to a psychiatrist to get a flu shot or cholesterol medication yet we are perfectly happy to go to any other doctor for psychiatric medication.
They're not qualified but they won't stop given their own egos and people won't see a psychiatrist when they should between the stigma associated with it and issues with insurance.

This isn't a character attack, what he did was illegal. They don't need to stretch the truth here. They'll keep saying it because it is going to be on those grounds that he is dealt with and that detail is the only one many people think about.
That his actions were justifiable or moral or whatever you think of him doesn't change the fact that was he did was illegal, and that's the only true fact they have to work with.

Is this the new gay thing? It was you were gay if you were a man who in any way was interested in how you looked, is it now that you're a hipster?
I need to know so I know why I'm slovenly.
