Ok, I'll bite. Which parts of the kernel should not be there, given that Linux is not a microkernel? I maintain that most of the code is there for hardware support, for security, or to support user-space application models. I'll g

Blending is just one of the functions of a food processor. A food processor can usually also do kneading, mincing, and slicing, or (depending on extensions) even rolling (pasta) dough and squeezing citrus fruits.

I'm not convinced. There's plenty of large clubs in Europe owned by foreign capital and those clubs have already tried to push a pan-European league for themselves. I can see the FIFA using those teams as leverage to gain a footho
