That wouldn't make ARM go away. Intel tells you how to construct your computing, ARM allows you to construct it yourself with their licensing schemes. Until that changes, no one who doesn't have a fairly, large uniform market is going to trust Intel.
I couldn't read your comment without thinking of that Seinfeld scene at the beach house when Rachel sees George naked after he's been in the pool and she leaves laughing.
Well, problems with failing memory checks aside, no language is going to protect against sheer complexity of the result. Given an relatively large program like an OS, C or any other language is not going to stop unanticipated side effects of the many moving parts.
There's another problem, writing correct specifications and proving them + code together is correct requires a different set of mental tools. In my estimation, most programmers are terrible at formal logic. It is not computation, it is more like mathematics. Programmers just do not have the mathematical maturity to grind their way thought logical proofs.
I'll bite, aside from being a Russian matroyshka doll, what is it you expect Obama could do to calm ISIS, North Korea, Iran, China, Russia, or aliens crises. Invade the Mid-East again? Arm the opposition in Syria with shoulder fired anti-plane weapons? Shoot Syrian and (preferably, in my opinion, Russian) planes out of the sky? I cannot imagine any of those calming Syria, or the rest of the world's skies when the shoulder fired weapons get sold to Daesh for some virgins. He could push back against the Russians in Ukraine, but that wouldn't be calming the situation down, that would be asking for a major conflict with Russia (it will probably need to happen before Putin realizes is dick isn't as big as he imagines).
The U.S. could take back the S. China sea from China, that would require a much bigger fleet and 20 years to build it. He could smack Iran for being perpetual dickheads in the MidEast, but I cannot imagine that calming them down any. And if you have a secret plan to contain N. Korea and its sawed off runt of a leader, please let the rest of us know. Personally I do not believe there is an answer to the Norks short of bombing their military back to the Stone Age...not a calming scenario I'll admit. But then I am not the one who expects Obama to click his heels and get them to behave.
We have the Greek fellow with the electric hair to handle the aliens, no need for Obama to mix it up with them.
No, they are doing it because the Obama administration happens to be the administration in charge while the plans proceed. If it had been a Republican administration, it would be a new, glorious day for freedom from "The Government".
Only a certain segment of white people are angry. They are angry because after dissing education and the world's economy shifting away from shift work for this segment, they have nowhere to turn. They cannot even beat up on minorities with the joy they used to in the past without achieving blowback, and a case of Trump.
After they succeed in removing trade deals and put tariffs on foreign imports that will increase prices at Wally-World, they will be even more angry. And instead of blaming themselves for their predicament, they will blame "Them" or "The Government" reasoning themselves into believing it is a conspiracy to screw them.
Really? Go criticize EU governments by starting a political party. Gee, no problems doing that. Now try the same in Putin's Russia. The ghost of Stalin is alive in Putin.
Yes, but Trump has the attention span of gnat. He thinks stiffing contractors is good business. He thinks NATO is a protection racket. He's shown no ability to learn anything new and doesn't appear to know very much as he stands now. He's easily rattled, he cannot keep his ego under control, and he's somehow hoodwinked the Christian Right into thinking of him as a Baby Christian. After he decides to default on U.S. debt obligations, the U.S. can forget about having an economy any better than a banana republic.
Yes, but Trump is no 10 Billion $ man either. Look at his scams. He's strictly a penny-ante grifter. Anyone with 10 Billion doesn't start some of the silly scams Trump has been behind unless they are so blinded by greed that they seem like a good way to spend time.
I doubt the reset was Clinton's idea. She's shown very little initiative and vision in the campaign. I recall Obama running the first time on "resets" as the anti-Bush.
The labels never consistently gave consumers what they wanted. As soon as a band started doing well, the music companies created 50 sound alikes. Those weren't what consumers wanted, they wanted new variety...which is anathema to music executives. How would they find it? How would they know when they heard it? They'd have to take chances, but chances cost money. They are in the business to make money, not spend it.
Musicianship is still alive in older metal and hard rock bands and progressive rock bands as well as jazz. However, there are not as many good young bands as there used to be, so yeah, musicianship is being downgraded...dunno if it will ever finally die.
I am a staunch 2nd Amendment doctrine believer also. You get to keep as many muzzle loading/black powder and ball firearms you like. However, you must enroll in a well regulated militia which will decide when and where you may discharge your firearms.
Or start delivering at night..."Honey, what's that buzzing sound...hey, there's a drone outside our window!!" "Relax sweetheart, let me give you some instructions on how to fire this here shotgun."
Sheesh, after all this time you still don't get that everyone in the MidEast is chewing gum and walking at the same time. They all have multiple agendas. Calling something over there this or that in its entirety is simply Western hubris, i.e., if we think this way, everyone thinks this way.
Serbia wants Kosovo back to finish the job of depopulating it from Muslims and repopulating it with Serbs. Serbia thinks it will make their collective dick look bigger.

. . . for your soul? Do you notice it missing?
It will only be smart toilet paper when it wipes me by itself, dumps itself in the toilet, and then flushes itself away.
And then Intel happened, and we've suffered ever since.

And it is extraordinarily time consuming.

No, it is because she thinks of Putin as a sawed-off runt who has all the humanity of Stalin.

What you want is a rail gun, then you can blow down the front door as part of the package delivery.

WWI, WWII, colonialism, the slave trade. Need we remind Europe of any more of their "start ups"?
