The operating system has a subsystem called "messages" to tell applications about things such as mouse clicks. Every time you click on the application, the OS drops a message* in the app's queue. When the app is ready it reads the messages off the queue and decides what to do.
Windows can't really tell what your application is doing, but it can see whether or not the app is reading the messages or just letting them pile up. So if no messages are pulled for 5 seconds, Windows throws up the "not responding" screen. The rest of the 316 clicks are just stuffing the message mailbox to the brim.
Linux is mostly very similar, except the UI stuff is not a part of the core OS, and there are several different systems.
On Windows a mouse click is actually two messages: "button pressed" followed by "button released".
I'm not aware of anything that specifically prevents OPM from lying to the federal civil service (about the terms of a buyout offer) in an email. Or from making empty threats about "consequences" in ten days or whatever.
As far as I know, the President is legally entitled to control OPM pretty unilaterally. Like OMB.
A lot of hoopla has been made about Musk and the Bureau of the Fiscal Service. But I'm not aware of anything that has been definitely illegal so far. (Unless he starts messing with legally mandated payments. BFS is basically just a fancy check printing house. All of the important fiscal decisions are supposed to be made in other government departments, offices, and Congressional appropriations.)
The only things I know about that are probably squarely illegal are the IG firings, and the EOs that are already in litigation. In the case of the IGs, I'm not sure if there any kind of substantial enforcement mechanism.
Agreed. With no suit or any other thermal management tech, it's going to be hard to survive anywhere just on thermal grounds alone.
However, let's say you want to mitigate problems with sunburn and climb to a higher solar orbit. I haven't calculated anything. But my intuition says you're no longer getting enough heat input, and you will end up freeze dried. (The dried part is a vacuum effect we were told to ignore.)
As an earthling, you have evolved over the course of billions of years to deal with sunlight at a distance of one astronomical unit. That's the distance of the earth's orbit. That's probably the most comfortable distance.
The Apollo moon missions used a so-called "barbecue" mode that rotated the capsules at three revolutions per hour. They did this during the 3-4 day coast phases to and from the moon. As far as I know this was able to mostly hold the interior temperatures in the "survivable" range.
that silence can not be used to make negative inferences against the accused
This is also protected by the 5th amendment, but in the United States it is usually a crime to lie to the police for any reason, or to destroy evidence with the aim to thwart an investigation.
This is pretty off topic, but in traditional newspaperology headlines the story writers have no say in the headline. Headline writing is a separate discipline with specialized headline writers, because you have to carefully count the character sizes to fit the headline into the space.
This traditional art changed on its head when headlines online were no longer constrained by the page layout.
In a counterfactual hypothetical, if the Mexican armed forces, or an organized cartel paramilitary with command structure and uniforms, were massing near the border in preparation for a real honest to God invasion, then active duty could be warranted.
The German Nazis took the idea from their allies, the Italian fascists.
The United States was doing a similar thing with the Bellamy salute from the 1890s up until they weren't buds with the Nazis any more.
There is art work going back to the 1700s depicting ancient Romans using the salute. Meanwhile, the idea has staying power: I recall that this salute appears in the 2005 HBO series Rome.
So it's an urban legend among classicists that got picked up by several politicians in the early 20th century, and notably the Italian and German fascist movements.
Also, on Gentoo Linux, there will be an ebuild that integrates all of the cmake options into the rest of the packaging system and manage the dependencies
The commit hash right before the license change will be unambiguously licensed under Apache. Anyone can fork from there.
Were contributors' rights violated? It may depend on whether contributors assigned copyright to whomever is in charge now or not. If there are a bunch of copyright assertions in the source files from diverse individuals, then likely not. If the copyright assertions are uniform, then assignments may have happened, but only if the individual contributors signed some agreement to that effect.
Apache is generally considered permissive, so even without assignments, it might be possible for these new people to offer a derivative work under more restrictive terms. The original contributions of the various contributors are still available under Apache 2.0, but the easiest way to get those is to check out an earlier commit hash.
Edit: so I actually read the ticket. It sounds like the villains pulled some git trickery to obfuscate the history. But that doesn't change the legal status. If this version x software was offered by its copyright holders under Apache terms in the past, then you can still use and redistribute version x under Apache terms now.
The clearest cause of action for aggrieved contributors seems to be clause 4, where the villains need to provide a copy of the Apache text to redistribute a derivative work. And not delete it like apparently happened.
The way this works on Windows is as follows:
The operating system has a subsystem called "messages" to tell applications about things such as mouse clicks. Every time you click on the application, the OS drops a message* in the app's queue. When the app is ready it reads the messages off the queue and decides what to do.
