All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.

FYI: This is how the QNX scheduler works, with the added feature that threads at higher priority levels can only be pre-empted by higher-priority threads (they otherwise have an infinite timeslice). But QNX is a real-time OS, so YMMV.
Top three reasons why my OS project died:
  1. Too much overtime at work
  2. Got married
  3. My brain got stuck in an infinite loop while trying to design the memory manager
Don't let this happen to you!
