Android isn't considered a Linux distribution. Neither is the Tivo. Or any of the various other applications that embed the linux kernel. It's disingenuous to make that sort of assertion.
The inherent security of OpenBSD is due to the rigorous scrutiny and auditing of the OpenBSD base install. Sprinkling in 'magic dust' in the form of components from the OpenBSD system accomplishes nothing of this. So basically, a hype mention, pimping off of OpenBSD's proven record. Not very impressive.
Reusable launch of the hulk of metal on their lawn isn't going to happen.
The reuse concept still has to be proven. More than 'proven possible' it has to be proven cost-effective.
The problem with space-heads is they consider every challenge to be not only attainable, but worth attaining.
Generally, they figure we can trash this planet, because we're moving on out. The tricky thing is, we're not as individual as some might pretend. Do you know all the symbonic links necessary to maintain your life? Will it be viable to make certain all those organisms make it off planet with you?
We're not cave-men. We'll make sure you don't fuck over this planet on your way off it. Even if it involves monkeywrenching on levels never achieved before. And that DOESN'T make us Luddites. There is plenty to know and plenty to explore here on Earth before we have to scamper off to live in a tank on some asteroid.
And SpaceX has that chunk of metal sitting on their lawn because they plan to relaunch it?
No, it's just a hulk on cinder blocks, like people find in lower income neighborhoods all around the country. Yep, they're gonna get that thing running, sometime....
The GP's point was apparently that because the Linux kernel is embedded in Android devices, even though it's not used in any way similar to desktop Linux, that it 'counted.' So I cited the fact that there are many other operating systems embedded in many other devices that far overwhelm the small number of embedded linux kernels.
Continuity checks catch pins that are open circuit. It doesn't catch poor soldering quality that will result in early failure. Visual inspection of solder connections that are visible catches and prevents early failure, and as GP commenter said, can also be fairly easily repaired in the aftermarket.
Singapore's government probably contracts out for that kind of work. There aren't many 'government programmers' actually needed for a city-state.
Why most places of employment feel the need for a PC sitting on every employee's desk is a mystery, and could be something done away with for many positions.
Billions of people use processors that run only Machine Language programs that load from the reset vector. Mice, graphics card, the controller chips inside hard drives, etc. There's even a 'multiplier effect' because every Linux computer in operation has a handful of these processors inside it. So the Machine Language 'Operating System' is 20-500 times more popular than any PC operating system, and thousands to hundreds of thousands of times more popular than Linux.
This popularity measure is based on the same notion as the one that asumes that every device out there that runs a Linux kernel is 'linux.' I.e. every Android device, every Tivo, etc.

History's greatest monster? No, just a mediocre huckster, but she married right.
It's okay to make racist comments, as long is the racism is directed at white people.
Even a fart-bot can't get away with that kind of switcheroo. Nobody in this thread has been talking about Trump.
What smells funny?
Translation of fancy language: She is avoiding disclosure of the truth.
Rational Wiki?
Is that a wiki that deals mostly in fractions? I can't find the page on improper fractions.
Half your audience is wondering why you misspelled 'Post.'
Hence, there really isn't anything unclear or confusing here.
They won't even do a Maoist style self-criticism.
Though they may have, internally.

If they didn't get paid for that work, they should have taken at least a few Liberal Arts courses in college.

I have four SX-64s that the lab at work was throwing out.
I actually used one of them for a test in the lab in about 2007.
It would be impressive if I could install Interix on ReactOS. Maybe sometime I will give it a try.
Apple should grow up and offer their Apple Music service on more than just their own devices.
Though, with how bad iTunes and Apple stuff in general has always been on Windows, maybe that's not practical.

It was a good point, and worth making.
The Apple 3 had bigger problems than it's board flexing.
Somebody needs to upload this video, to save people time recording it themselves.

Email at the workplace doesn't require any sort of web access.
Other than purchasing agents, most regular employees don't need to buy from outside the organization.
People do all sorts of things at the workplace to get fired for doing.
I mean, if you're going to break the rules, have sex with co-workers or steal equipment and materials or do something fun.

I still like FVWM2, although the tab window manager (TWM) is better because it's a native part of the X11 distribution.
I've carried my .fvwm2rc file along with me from desktop to desktop for many years now.

In some applications, high level languages are a bad idea.
