    many many uninformed idiots...

    Most software engineers will tell you that one of the requirements of an RTOS is guaranteed response to all interrupts of real-time priority within a certain maximum time. This generally isn't a "nice-to-have" thing. It's a characteristic of an RTOS. And it's a fairly obvious customer requirement in this application.

    Keith's is brewed by Labatt's. Rickard's (Gold, Pale, Red) is brewed by Molsons. They just keep that info quiet to try and get the microbrewery elitist customers who normally wouldn't buy Canadian, Blue, Ex, etc.

    A biochem student friend of mine once told me that when he was working a co-op job at Labatt's he was told the ingredients for Blue and Keith's were exactly the same, and only the brew processes differed, and that just slightly.

    american companies get orders of magnitude more econonic gain from exploiting third-world countries for raw materials and cheap labour than it costs the U.S. government to provide aid.

    eat my ass, american imperialist ass. american healthcare had nothing to do with a canadian getting an MRI. if any american government policy had anything to do with it, it would have been corporate welfare for companies like GE, who developed MRI.

    if i had to guess, i'd say it was probably initially developed under a weapons program, because we all know every scientific advance in the US these days is developed under DOD money.

    Iron Maiden - The Number of the Beast
    Harris

    I left alone my mind was blank
    I needed time to get the memories from my mind

    What did I see can I believe that what I saw
    that night was real and not just fantasy

    Just what I saw in my old dreams were they
    reflections of my warped mind staring back at me

    Cos in my dreams it's always there the evil face
    that twists my mind and brings me to despair
    The night was black was no use holding back
    Cos I just had to see was someone watching me
    In the mist dark figures move and twist
    was all this for real or some kind of hell
    666 the Number of the Beast
    Hell and fire was spawned to be released

    Torches blazed and sacred chants were praised
    as they start to cry hands held to the sky
    In the night the fires burning bright
    the ritual has begun Satan's work is done
    666 the Number of the Beast
    Sacrifice is going on tonight

    This can't go on I must inform the law
    Can this still be real or some crazy dream
    but I feel drawn towards the evil chanting hordes
    they seem to mesmerise me...can't avoid their eyes
    666 the Number of the Beast
    666 the one for you and me

    I'm coming back I will return
    And I'll possess your body and I'll make you burn
    I have the fire I have the force
    I have the power to make my evil take its course
