Also Radio Clocks

Nothing uses your silly 1950s technology, since shortwave receivers are vastly more expensive than GPS receivers due to economy of scale, and also less accurate. Welcome to the 21st century.

No idea why ATMs need GPS, but... some went offline when the US Navy was playing with their jammer off the coast of San Diego, CA, USA. Link

The thing is GPS technology is in tons of random electronics. Since GPS satellites are essentially transmit their identification and an accurate time, GPS is used to keep time in everything from ATMs to our power grid to consumer "atomic" clocks.

Cellphones also use GPS signals to triangulate their position on earth, so that they can connect to the nearest tower with minimal power. This is more FCC doing its real job, protecting everyone from this interference shit.

I feel that nVidia uses the same drivers for all operating systems. The core doesn't change, it just has a wrapper to interface with X/DirectX/Quartz. They just update the core significantly once in a while, to the point it can't interface with older cards. That's why the occasionally have huge issues.

Pretty sure FreeNAS moved to Linux.

College classes don't really teach you much; you have to read by yourself and do the homework to benefit. This isn't high school. Also if a fucking screensaver distracts you, you have ADHD. Get some Adderall for yourself.

BSD's UNIX code was replaced in accordance to the terms of settlement of USL v BSDi. Though this case happened almost 17 years ago, so the patents in question are probably no longer enforceable.

... and not a single mention of the Pareto Principle.

It can also detect the spirochetes that cause syphillis, Treponema palladium.
