I tend to think of Real-Time ISRs taking about 15 cycles to respond. However that can typically only be achieved with a super complex Real-Time OS that looks like this:
BTW, war balloons were first used in the Anglo South African war of 1898 till 1901. These balloons were used as look-outs by the Brits and were hydrogen filled. The ZAR shot them full of holes, but they always landed softly - hydrogen doesn't burn easily.
On a technical note: In this war, the Brits had balloons and wire line telegraphs, while the ZAR had radios and heliographs (and long range guns and smokeless ammo). Cryptography was primitive - they all used Morse and code words.
Eventually the only way the Brits could win was by systematically burning the whole country down. Even today, the match stick is more powerful than any military weapon.
An ammonia cycle refrigerator can use a heat source to operate (the common gas or oil fired refrigerator). Would it not be better to focus sunlight on an ammonia cycle fridge?
I can see it now, the second generation freezer:
It would be 35 times more efficient to crank a compressor. So for the Mark II freezer, instead of employing the whole village to crank one vortex freezer, with a compressor he would only need one guy ==> rampant unemployment...
Just swear at them - profusely. If you find it difficult, make a tape recording with a ton of swearing and telling them to put you on their fscking do fscking not fscking call fscking list...
Hmm - maybe I should make such a tape and sell it - yeah, I'll get my telemarketing buddy to advertise for me - profit!!!
I treat marketers the same way as customer service agents at the phone company. To get a problem call escalated to someone that actually knows something, or to get on marketer's internal do not call lists, you have to swear at the poor agent - works every time.
Don't answer your phone...
Mine has been on an answering machine since about 1980. We talk to each other by leaving messages on each other's machines. Keeps the phone bill down too.
Standard images are the solution. Any complaints - zap the machine - only leave the data partition.
Your data wasn't on the data partition? Hmmmm - the virus must have gotten it...
My brother's father in law sold safes. He once found a case where a bank manager wrote the safe code on the wall next to the safe with a marker. At least it did provide fire security...
Yup, port to port security goes a long way, but there are exploits that flood the router ARP tables, causing them to drop back to a simpler mode which then breaks the security.
That is actually not too bad, unless you have webcam pointing at the sticky note. The point being that someone on the other side of the globe cannot see your sticky notes and cannot easily crack a 14 character password either, while locally, you probably have some form of physical security - you do lock the door right?

QNQ, VxWorks, Nucleus etc.: A few hundred clock cycles ISR response time.

You should have your car radio repossed...
Russia, France, UK, China... anyone of those can obliterate all of North America at the push of a button. Sad, but true.
Remember Thunking?
Nah, use \BIN for programs - only 3 chars and then we can pretend Windoze is POSIX compliant... ;-)
How do you patent a war blimp? They have been in use 100 years ago already.
The usual way - by shooting first...
In these days of missile wars, a lumbering air ship is no more or less of a target than any other aircraft.
I don't think these ships will resemble this: http://www.clusterballoon.org/

Just go to your local RV store to buy one.

Are you sure that they are calling your cell? I get these 'cause I have a landline 'no answer' forwarded to my cell.

I once saw a Flintstones cartoon with huge signs on Fred's lawn: "All Salesmen Welcome! Please Ring Door Bell."
The bell rope was a release for a huge boulder suspended above the door...

Please tell Linus to stop making new releases of Linux - he should complete it first...

Funny, I wasn't aware of cracker being a slang term for a whitey. Which part of the world is that from?

There are policy based virus blockers that stop vuruses without having to be updated all the time, but that kind of solution is not good for business: http://www.impsec.org/email-tools/procmail-securit y.html
