they aren't addressing all the possible ways to being distracted. What about reading a paper while driving
In fact, in most US jurisdictions, you'll find that "distracted driving" is a moving violation. If it's really severe (driving at speed while paying no attention to the road whatsoever) the cop can generally upgrade it to "reckless driving", which is a criminal offense.
Does the word "cloud" have any particular meaning?
"Cloud" means "in our data centers", so that you're paying us money. If you're still using your own servers, you're not in the "cloud", and you're not paying us money.
Obviously, it is absolutely imperative that you migrate all your services to the cloud.
So, instead of having one giant conflict that lasts for a few years, we have a never-ending series of small but locally devastating conflicts that go on forever.
But we weren't having just *one* giant conflict that lasts a few years. We were having a *series* of them. So we replaced a never-ending series of giant conflicts with a never-ending series of small but locally devastating conflicts. It's not perfect, but it's progress.
It's said that a lot of the undergraduate girls at college in the US are "gay until graduation" because it's supposed to be so hard to find a decent boyfriend (one figure I heard quoted is that there are on average 1.3 girls to every guy in undergraduate college in the US).
You can also have MVS up to 3.8j (released in 1982), which is apparently the last version IBM didn't copyright. Compilers, pretty much all 360 versions, FORTRAN (G and H), COBOL, PL/I (checkout, not optimizing) (it's actually about the only way to get a half-way decent PL/I compiler on your PC for free that I know of), and ASM F and G (but not H), and bunch of weirder stuff. SNOBOL or SPITBOL, anyone? I actually downloaded it and played with it a little bit--it was neat to watch the MVS IPL messages scrolling up as it booted, and then to sign on to TSO. No ISPF or PDF--that's copyrighted, alas. Some homebrew imitations, but nothing as powerful or useful as the real thing. Also no RACF (same reason), which makes it kinda tough to make a production system with proper security.
I was going to suggest VS OS, which ran on the old Wang VS minis, but, nope, Wikipedia says it's still out there. Dear God, they just don't die, do they?

WiFi has no place on a boxt that needs to have a power cord plugged into the wall to function.

You mean Truth, Love, Peace, and Individual Empowerment.
How long before it's completely cracked? One week? Two weeks?
"Market Failure" does not mean "people aren't buying what I think they should!"
I got you beat. I bought a Wii *and* a PS3 a month and a half ago...
But what a lovely singing Mozilla must have!
As long as they don't Daikatana us all.

...proprietary software company says you should buy their product instead of using something else.
I'm shocked, I tell you. Just shocked.
No, no, you see, that's the beautiful part. When wintertime rolls around, the gorillas simply freeze to death.

The same *three* things! Er, among the same things the user base wants...I'll come in again.
5. Get sued by TI.
6. ???
7. Profit!
Yes, I do. Do you know what the "2003" in Fortran 2003 is?

I love the smell of electrons in the morning!
Wow. First time I've seen 3,000 described as "almost a million".

If only the same could be said of the users of said medical computers...

Well, if by "based on CP/M", you mean, "written as a quick, dirty substitute for CP/M while being mostly inferior", then, yes, it was based on CP/M.
No, you don't understand the Microsoft philosphy. If they can sell it...they've succeeded. They couldn't sell Bob to anybody.
They call it "z/OS" now.
