I've seen it happen a lot on servers. It usually happens because the process is already suspended while waiting for a resource to be freed. Like trying to get an exclusive lock on a network shared file after the connection is lost. As it is waiting for a response from the network, it's put in a suspended state. But since there is no connection, there's never going to be a reply. So it just waits and waits.
Sending a kill signal might nudge it closer to the afterlife and get local resource freed, but when remote resources on network servers are tried to be released, it locks up.
It was called "long distance" and "international" calls as well as the taxes for phone-line rental. But at what cost did those high levies on telephone traffic prevent advancement of technology? ISDN was a 64K/bits system charged a few cents or pence by the kilobyte.
They only just started being adopted for computer monitors in 2005/2006. We still had some CRT monitors in our lab at that time. The replacements were LCD flatscreens with 4:3 aspect ratio. Then those were replaced with screens that could do colorimetric accurate displays or cinematic screens with the 16:9 aspect ratio. That was the time where people were getting pissed that they couldn't use the whole screen of their TV/laptop/notebook to display a movie without getting dark areas or losing bits of the picture. So TV's moved to cinematic resolution, that forced the manufacturers to change their processes, and that affected laptop manufacturing as well.
They are there to get ideas and inspiration from each other. Very much like all the Blender tutorials out there. Many Blender artists find work doing architectural modeling for architects. They can convert blueprints into photorealistic images. To do that, they need to learn things like how to model vegetation, metal and fabric surfaces, and wrinkles to textures, model complex objects with lots of curves. The best way to learn is from an expert.
The Arts he talks about are in the fields of building architecture, industrial design and interior design. That involves being able to design buildings where everything is laid out ergonomically, designing household appliances or electronics that are easy to use.
If you look at the open source projects, some people have written their own code generators to do that sort of work. They create a high-level specification in a script language, and the actual code is generated. Any sort of information exchange between different API's can then be done that way.
How else can you load and install third-party applications? Maybe you are an animation artist trying to do that ultimate animation for your demo reel. Then you need to install applications like 3DMax, Photoshop, ZBrush, Softimage. Sometime manuals or tutorials only come in HTML format. So you need a web browser to read them.
It's really worrying when you need a search engine to find the right commands to use. That's true with Linux or Windows (shell window? No. Bash? No. Shell? No. Ah, Konsole). With Windows, something like disk defragmentation gets put under system configuration, storage, partition manager and only really found if you knew what you were looking for in the first place.
Why not just have a picture of a desktop/laptop and click on the particular component; screen, keyboard, backlight, USB ports, printer, network, then select between applications and drivers.
Companies today have the advantage of much cheaper and powerful CAD/CAM/FEA modeling software. You can download preview copies of the applications to run on 64-bit Linux or Windows.
The black was required by the NSA to stop non-authorized people from seeing the systems. If doors had window panels, then there had to be a full room height partition that covered the view from the door.
Cray Y-MP did double precision floating-point numbers and also had the data bandwidth from storage to match. Mobile phones do floating-point precision to IEEE 894 standards, but they also support low, medium and high precision calculations in GPU shaders.
While the IEEE 894 standard specifies 32 or 64 bits of precision, some vendors may add extra precision bits in the floating-point adders and multipliers (or simply remove them altogether for speed and power savings).
Put sound insulation around the airframe? Maybe make the wing edges serrated so that the shockwaves cancel out? Or a giant metal ring that reflects the sound waves back?
The French do try. If you want a pay-as-you-go phone card (Mobicarte), you have to go to the shop and bring your passport or other ID card. They photocopy it, and bind your SIM card to that phone's IMEI.
Of course, you can just go abroad to the UK, go into any airport duty free and buy a pack of SIM cards there with roaming and data services enabled. Some hotels even sell them in vending machines. You used to get laptop PCMCIA cards for laptops that would let you surf the internet using a regular SIM card. These have been replaced with 3G/4G/5G network USB sticks or smartphones.

No, just familiarity. Users aren't interested in playing puzzle games when they are working. They just want to get their work done as quickly as possible. People get annoyed when the supermarket rearranges the placement of items in the aisles. "Drinking straws? Why aren't they beside the soft drinks? Oh they're up beside the party items like napkins and cake decorations." "Where are the tinned peas? What? They've been moved beside the tinned products section? They used to be beside the vegetable section".
Web browsers are built on hundreds of standards. They need image file loaders (bmp, tga, tiff, gif), audio codecs (mp3, mp4, wav, ogg vorbis), video codecs (mpg, mp4, wmv), fonts (freetype, truetype TTF), the official support for HTML... HTML5, and all the other languages CSS. There are the internet protocols specified by the RFC's (ftp, http, telnet). Then there is internet security through encryption with SSL. Each of these libraries depends on other API libraries, even OpenGL and OpenCL for WebGL, X-Windows and Gnome/KDE for Linux.
All of those libraries are fixing bugs, refactoring code, creating interface layers, internal engines, adding caching, improving compression, reducing file IO. Every time someone removes or renames a function, or changes the way objects are created and manipulated, that causes a code thrash ripple that works it's way through the entire library dependency chain. Even adding a new rendering method to speed things up (using OpenGL texture for fonts), or Framebuffer Objects for offscreen rendering will cause a domino effect as every other layer takes advantage of that feature. Users with high-end systems seen their browser running faster. Users with old system, see their browser running slower and sucking up more memory.
From the forum: "Allow me to further clarify.. ONE AGAIN.. Our future and whatever path we take is going to still have specific requirements and parameters. It is gonna be a mozilla-like codebase.. It is gonna have a gecko-like rendering engine (Goanna) it will have XUL, XBL, all the technologies everyone wants and needs. What this will not be is a trident shell, a webkit shell, a blink shell, or whatever servo is gonna be.. No, does not and would not support all the bits of technology to be a product we and you could use and be proud of. If you think this is gonna happen.. Just stop because it isn't going to ever be that. So get that out of your heads."
Maybe women like to work part-time and choose the hours they want to work. Working as a nurse required working shifts with hours like evening (2pm to 10pm), night (10pm to 6am), afternoon (6am to 2pm). Some days, they would have to do double shifts, sometimes they would get a day or two off. Hairdressers get to do the same.
There was a political issues in one village where the local mothers used to be able to work part-time at a large hotel. They could cover for each other if someone needed an afternoon off to take the children to the doctor. But when new countries joined the EU, the hotel owners preferred to employ East European workers who lived in the top rooms and worked full-time.
That's what they did. This blog has an excellent phortograph of a sheet printer. Whole teams of men would be employed to do the placement of articles, the assembly of printed text from individual characters and fonts
Cities in Canada had undergound shopping malls constructed in downtown along with access corridors between the different street blocks. That way, someone can walk from their apartment or from the metro station to the shopping area and never have to deal with the extremely hot or cold weather.
Can't they put in mini-elevators? Norway has that for some overpasses. They even have special underground lift systems for skateboards and wheelchairs to automatically move them up a hill.
It's like that on the A27 on the South of England. There are a couple of express buses X4/X5 that go between Gosport and Southampton. Naturally, they used opposite sides of the road to travel. Which leads to the challenging problem of getting the bus to go in the opposite direction when you go to or from anywhere. Traffic lights have been removed to improve traffic flow. So it's like playing a game of Frogger trying to get to the opposite side without being squished.

Remember "Embrace , Extend, Extinguish" and "Developers, Developers, Developers".
Microsoft just needs to pull off those developers with new ideas from Linux to Windows.
It was funded by various other OS vendors to create FUD to slow down the adoption of Linux.

It's like that in London now. The train carriages have adverts for "learn to code" courses.
