You have no idea what you are talking about. (As usual)

2019 was 7 years ago, and the Linux kernel has had hard realtime capability for a very long time. Of course, the kernel doesn't live in a vacuum, so using a properly configured kernel, using an embedded distribution, and properly tuning it is necessary for best results, as discussed in the linked document. I don't even have to read the NASA paper you didn't bother to link to in order to guarantee that you didn't read and understand it, then genuinely represent what it said.

So you're complaining about something that doesn't affect you in any way, shape, or form. Either that or you think wildlings are entitled to that money for some reason, even though they're not. The only connection you have to this whatsoever is America just sent the first wildling, ever, outside of the Earth's atmosphere, which entitles you to nothing.

That's not what TFA said. It said "a family of three." That would, on the average, be 2 adults and a child. Two incomes, one dependent. Maybe that's what you're saying, but "supporting 3 people" makes it seem like you're talking about dependents.

It's a system of checks and balances. For example, how do you think we got rid of school prayer when the overwhelming majority of the country was in favor of it at the time? Because the constitution explicitly gave SCOTUS the power to do so. Not the voters, not the legislature.

Your king holds all of the checks. You're just relying on him to exercise restraint. You can't impeach him, and you can't veto him in any way.

Even though I've pretty consistently used Samsung phones for like 15 years now, I always switched the default messaging app to Google's. Phone companies don't need to reinvent the wheel.

So the only way to qualify as middle is to be able to afford two of the most expensive neighborhoods in the country? I tend to think "middle" or even "upper middle" would include a lot more than that.

Hah! It's so beautiful...

There is always that one guy that needs to raise his hand and say "Oh ... look at me! I'm ignorant too!" Don't worry, everyone sees you little boy.

We were I/O bound with a saturated network. Our boss bought a Pentium to see if it would help. He didn't understand what "I/O bound" meant.

Went to a Comdex and saw this new fangled thing called a network switch. 3-4 of those in our system solved our problems.

If you think psychedelics make people stupid then you are ignorant.

Not doubting this, but are there really 3.1 dialogs? I can think of multiple control panels and other screens that haven't seen much change since NT4, but my memories of 3.1 dialogs are getting hazy at this point!

Yes! I get the feeling there are more than a few people on Slashdot (and elsewhere) that just don't get this. Over the last few years I've had multiple Gen Z coworkers for whom installing the desktop version of MS Office is _literally_ the first software they have installed outside of a mobile app store.

Only if someone bothers to read the article *and* understand it *and* care enough to call out the publication.

A lot of predicates there.

Asking for a friend

The guy who wrote The Americans was supposedly asked specifically when he joined the CIA after college if he was in it just for getting ideas for a writing career. He lied. Obviously.

End result? Nice yarn. Total science fiction with regards to the omnidisciplinary genius spy stuff, but a good way to scratch an itch for 80s nostalgia.

At no point in the link you provided is any such claim made (that it is one of the most popular choices among players.) Would you like to play again?
