Learn to play the game? Oh noes.

Maybe it'll mutate a bit and swing back around killing nearly everyone who wasn't infected the first time because their immune systems won't recognize it in time. I'd go get myself infected just to be sure.

Sure, why not? If your whole perception of the universe has changed since then, that's exactly the kind of thing that'll let you know. The parent never suggested that you would have to, in this case, touch the hand on the burner until it left serious damage, but just enough to know that the old rules still apply.

You're on what might be your only trip through this universe. Don't waste it. ANYTHING might change. Just don't count on it.

Not to mention that totally unrelated animals can evolve similarly in similar environments. Whales and dolphins sure look like fish sometimes..

If Intel in any way restricts VxWorks for other architectures compared to any of Intel's, I think real time Linux work will surge. Right now (for us) VxWorks really is the only solution. The current real time-ish Linuxes available are not deterministic enough (we took probe measurements), but if that changes, we might gladly switch, if only because of the extreme cost of VxWorks. It'll also be interesting to see what happens to the support department behind VxWorks, as it has waned recently.

You think they weren't already doing this?

That's nothing. Don't forget the universe was rather dull before we invented color.
