The grid was overloaded significantly, but not critically. For everybody concerned with the grid, this is a major event because the grid is usually extremely stable. For everybody else, it's not significant. Grid operating as designed.

Your software can only guarantee what the hardware provides/guarantees. If your cpu can take a variable amount of cycles to start processing an interrupt, the RTOS can only guarantee the upper bound. A real time cpu is all about being

I think so, too. That's why I wrote it down simplified.

I assume someone uncomfortable with giving out payment information would be at least as suspicious with bitcoins persistent and public ledger. Bitcoin is far from anonymous. In fact, all is out in the open but you can "invent" new

Almost half of Belgium and over a fourth of the USA is using IPv6 to connect to the internet just fine and you have the audacity to claim it doesn't work because there's a bug in the implementation of Linux? This is like saying DE

Ubuntu surprises me often with their amount of patching upstream projects. Somehow, they can't wait for projects to publish stable releases. A little digging in the package repositories showed, that 2.5% of lynx packages contain svn, git or
