Me too. New Word!!
What kind of adjustable mattress?
My guess would be a 120v electric motor using a screw gearing.
Screw gearing can transfer torque very well in one direction, and you can use very small motors because they're usually a very high gear ratio (so they don't move quickly).
The uni-directional torque transfer is why screw gearing keeps the bed from collapsing, and why screw gear is extensively used in steering systems (especially for heavier vehicles, like trucks).
You're right. Thanks for the reminder. Memory ain't what it used to be.
One of?
I'm going with the largest, by a huge margin. Unix and it's descendents run everything. Even MS uses it for some things.
Unix has been around since 1969-ish, that's 20 years before NT.
And I've use NT every day since it came out.
Agreed.
I skimmed through the article, and see no mention of ~~DEC Alpha~~ VMS, which is NT's predecessor, which is really disappointing. Great read though, very well done.
DOS and Win3.1 really have little to do with NT. A DEC Alpha team was laid off around 1990, MS hired them, and NT is the result. Mark Minasi (I think, may also have been his partner, who's name I can't remember) wrote an article about 1998 in Windows Magazine (NT Magazine?) about it, and broke down the components of both NT and Alpha to demonstrate the similarity.
I've been looking for the article for a couple years now.
Because they control congress/parliament, etc.
Staggering to me how many people don't see this, and denigrate populism (not that I think you do, clearly those commenting on this issue see what's going on).
They get to tax those trillions at an extremely low rate, right?
So it takes you half a second to remove the "m"?
I've moved to DivestOS, a fork of Lineage. A bit more restrictive to Google stuff - can run MicroG/GServices isolated.
You get my upvote for this alone!
