You do not even need a scientist to see that there is a massive degeneration and retardation going on in the US gene pool currently. Influx of foreign genes was the solution, but now dumbness itself will trigger its own growth even stronger. If you want a better gene pool for your descendants it is time to leave US now. Good Luck!

What is the equivalent for GIMP?

Looks very interesting! Would you like to add LDAP support, maybe in a modularized way to store rules "somewhere" and provide a mechanism for mandatory application of these rules on clients ("enforce rules from trusted storage x")?

Others could build GUIs around the storage (LDAP, SQLite, whatever) and we could share rules via a website. That would be a great help for many users! Thanks!

Please add some substance to your post. Thank you!

Meanwhile, is there a way to restrict Dockerfiles, e.g. not allowing users to be root in the container?

I had the impression that this technology was only usable for the "single user machine" use-case, as too many bad things might happen in true multi-user environments - what is quite limiting in a unix world where we are used to multi-user reality since a long time - it was disturbing to see that such a successful tec seemed to ignore that.

However, I am really happy for any updates on this issue, I did not follow Docker development too much, so punish me when I am totally wrong!

Yes, of course there are easy to use and much better programming languages for that - I just really wanted to read some "real-life" recommendations from that guy that mentioned "php" and "long-polling" in the same sentence.

[Maybe it was just a joke and I did not get it... or I did get it but did not identify it as a joke... however... I would like to see some beef...]

what would be a good hardware spec and server configuration to have 5000 users do long polling with a php backend?

It does not make any sense to complain. The constructive approach that lead us to open source world domination goes like this: just build what you need. Start today, publish early, others will chime in and you will have the best status module you could dream of.

No, absolutely not. There are major technical limitations, but the biggest "soft feature" you will never get on Windows is FREEDOM.

You will see ads on your command prompt from time to time and the bash completion will contain "sensible recommendations" based on your general behavior, psychological state and political orientation.

Now that everything was published they also plan to pre-install the diverse arsenal of hacking tools on every machine, as there is no reason now anymore to hide that stuff - what will make the fight for freedom much easier for everyone involved!

To support your patriotism there will now be a personal statement of all past MS CEOs showing up on startup and the national anthem playing to support your emotions.

Also from time to time a screensaver will show the sentence "Everybody adores you, because you belong to a global hacker elite using the Windows operating system in 2017! Ignore that laughter around you!"

This is false. The opposite is true - Linux runs on many, many laptops without any problems.

You are wrong. The alternative is not cole, but of course never-ending energy sources like sun, wind, water etc. - many of those technologies are still in a very early stage because lots of government money was put into nuclear power - for only one single reason: to produce nuclear weapons.

Nuclear weapons are the only stupid reason why we will leave many unsolvable nuclear waste problems to our children - because of psychotic war-fetishists and primitive anti-social whoriticians.

Luckily the discussions are already won around the globe: renewable energy is the future, no matter how retarded any government will be that US citizens choose to lead "their country".

Of course old school lobbyists that have siphoned billions of dollars selling a failed and plain stupid technology will not just disappear, they will do everything to keep their positions selling their old ideas as "new and clean" and will be an extremely annoying obstacle to human progress for a long time, unfortunately.

But every initiative from these old greedy hateful minority will produce an even stronger impulse of reaction by the open-minded and peace-loving young people that are working hard to establish renewable energy systems around the world.

The time of the anti-social egoist-monkey has gone in most parts of the world.

You seem to be very confused and your cynical words offer an insight into a state of mind I would call 'disturbed' at least.

It might be interesting for you to learn that the biggest problems we have today on this planet are produced by countries that are not "over-populated".

Also it seems logical that people believing in that "too-many-people"-ideology (that is actively spread by many military neanderthalers btw) should use their freedom to give a good example of how to solve that problem by killing themselves, not others.
