Embedded OS RTEMS Turns 21

joelsherrill writes "RTEMS is a free real-time operating system for embedded systems. The project is celebrating the 21st birthday of RTEMS today. RTEMS supports the single process with filesystem POSIX profile on over a dozen processor architectures. To just be entering young adulthood, RTEMS has had a busy life. It has been a Google Summer of Code project twice (Thanks Google!). It has been to Venus on the Venus Express, circles Mars on the Electra radio, powers Herschel and Planck, is on its way to the asteroid belt aboard DAWN, and has been a key part of physics discoveries at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center."

    Well, keep in mind that most of it is obviously written ABOUT and not FOR you. It's FOR men who apparently like to fantasize that all you gals just want one of us there. Which is obviously ridiculous, but most porn is based on equally unlikely fantasies, and it sells anyway.

    But the Top Gear angle intrigues me. I'm already looking at an offtopic mod, so what the hell, can you elaborate on that? It's OK if you'd rather not.

    What sexist crap! I want lesbian porn for lesbians. Call it something else, that name is OURS. How hard is that? Granted, a lesbian second date is a moving van but when we're not busy getting our hearts stuffed in a blender or looking sassy and edgy and then going home to our pets for loving (also known as being single), some porn would be nice. It doesn't exist, but there is gay porn -- as in, with dudes. It's great right up until the sexing starts! But then it goes from homoerotic to where's-that-snickers-i-left-in-the-fridge. The only time I've seen gay sex scenes done erotic and sensual is Queer as Folk. The american version, not the British one -- because Russell T. Davies fails at life (mutter, mutter, stab).

    I really need to explain this? Sexy British cars and the accents.

    Apparently yes. I should have figured it. Some things are apparently constant among all Americans, and finding the British accent desirable seems oddly to be one of them. And the Brits do have a flair for designing gorgeous cars.

    If you want to see a lesbian cream herself over a car, two words: Shelby Cobra. Specifically, the 1967 Ford Mustang Shelby Cobra 500 (it's the one with the police interceptor block), with the "Le Mans" stripes and trim, preferably blue. I prefer the hard top, but a lot of girls prefer the converible. They are sad. And it needs to be the MT, not the AT -- because have an AT in that car should be a shooting offense.

    So very, very creamy.
