Now I am confused by your logic. On one hand you say that the kernel schedule has complete control over applications run status but on the other hand you talk about some special ability applications must have in order to be scheduled. I thought preemptive scheduling was transparent to the applications.
How do you even know he is really 85? Did he show you his birth certificate? Me, personally after many years I've come to believe that Eastern systems like Yoga, Tai Chi and other are just a load of BS and a way to make money of naive Westerners.
Two years ago I made a huge mistake letting my gf convince me she needed dead sea dirt for her chronic illness. The result, me and my rented car got nearly STONED to death by Jewish hassidic (sp?) villagers just off the main road. I understand now it's not polite to take pictures of your synagogues shirtless but common, stoning tourists w/o even giving a chance to explain themselves?
It did not happen to me but later I heard stories of people killed by Jewish religious students for kissing on the beach. Israel maybe the most democratic and western like country in the ME bit it ain't America or Europe, it's still fucking ME. Just remember it.
There are many fools who trust American software, even to run government PCs in foreign countries. Thankfully foreign governments, including my own country has been getting a clue lately and introducing their own version of Linux. One of the reasons I run Linux is because it is less likely to be bugged by CIA, NSA, etc. So I am not surprised at all by NK outsourcing.
All of the things you named are wasteful and I bet this wasteful nighttime energy consumption contributes a lot to global warming. NK is heavily industrialized and I am sure if they wanted they could light up the sky at night just to prove the point, they are just forced to conserve the little fuel they have. The picture is misleading, it does not prove that NK's infrastructure is underdeveloped.
Way to show your ignorance to even put Shia Persians of Iran and Sunni Arabs of Saudi Arabia on the same line. SA and Iran are the worst enemies with SA offering Israel it's airspace to attack Iran. FYI Afghans, Pakistanis, Indonesians (citizens of the most populous Muslim country on earth), Turks, Malays are not Arabs. Come to think arabs are a minority among Muslims. So much for your idea of violent pan-arabism. There was in fact a secular pan Arab movement in the second half of 20th century represented by the Baath party bit it's pretty much dead now. Contemporary Muslim countries are fiercely nationalistic first and the idea of global Muslim caliphate does not have many supporters.
Every time this photo is brought up I wonder - why do do we need so many lights at night? Is it really wrong or a sign of lack opf development that NK does not have a decadent culture of night clubs and wasteful advertisement, presumably the tings that produce nighttime illumination.
This is just more racist/nationalist bs. American programmers are not some god-chosen people. Indian or Russian programmers are not any worse because they get USD10/h instead of USD30/h. This has more to do with the cost of living than with cheap labour exploitation.
Even Apple hardware is dirt cheap compared to the salaries of admins required to keep windows infrastructure running. And the expenses of cleaning up after security disasters like the recent one which I understand they are blaming windows insecurity for. OS X and Linux need far less people to maintain.
I think you are mistaken about "thinest of connections". Most people in the 80s got into programming exactly because of gaming. They played games, were impressed and wanted to make something like that themselves. This is only a natural reaction for a kid. When they see something for instance on TV they want to imitate it in real-life which then involves some creative behavior, even something like playing cowboys and indians or making a tree house is an example of that. I bet not many people got into programming writing their own version of pyramid sort and such.
After reading Linus's book I'd say the goal was more practical, in tune with his personality - simply to have a free Unix like system that would run on his new 386. Everything else was coincidental. And yes, I am talking about this GNU/Linux stuff.

I would like the guy who made "Moon" to remake LR. In a way I found the to have a similar feeling.

The ISS is not particularly interesting from space science pov. I do not see a problem with paying Russians to send people and cargo there and back.

Really brainwashed by your imperialist media?

Just imagine what would happen if you tried to smuggle some heroin.

Worked pretty well in the era of usenet and gopher. People created lots of excellent add free content.
Their AppleII finally broke..

And employs astroturfers like YOU. You've been outed CAPITALIST pig infiltrator. And have been added to our LISTS.
Just don't eat the Ipod Shuffle!
You forgot about AD, it is the real shit and there is not good alternative for it for Linux/OSX infrastructure.

In one of the Itunes releases the browser interface disappeared. It took me quite a bit to figure out how to reenable it.
In most Muslim countries non-muslim native population is exempt from sharia law. It certainly this way in Iran and Lebanon, Nigeria, etc.
Let's just put it this way. The nature vs nurture debate is hardly settled.

Now they can use this experience to find and identify the other famous body.
