Why does this website lock up my computer?
The wiki.answers.com website has been going through many design changes. These will greatly improve the site, and already have! I'm excited about this, because it means more information for visitors! But it has unfortunately caused problems for some web visitors. We display a lot more images now than we did last year, which can slow down loading of webpages for some people.
Here are some suggestions to try:
- Most PCs allow you to increase/decrease the amount of space on your computer for graphics. Try increasing the space, if you can.
- Consider changing the browser you use. Internet Explorer (IE) often drags more, because IE itself is so code-heavy. Try using Chrome or Firefox.
- Perhaps most important-- Become a registered user! Then, you can change the settings in your profile. If you switch to Chrome, you can also download AdBlock.
- Download the free addon, Adblock. It will restrict some of the ads and videos you see. You can have better control over what you see.
- When you visit websites, a version is stored in "Cache" and "History". Make sure to delete both frequently.
- To avoid creating pages in "History", consider using Incognito Tab on Chrome. Tor is another browser that doesn't save pages in history.
- Lastly, DO keep submitting your feedback in the Category, "Questions about wikianswers". We want to know what visitors think and use your feedback to improve the site.

a realtime system is one that must react to inputs with outputs in real time. at the simplest this means the system must meet deadlines. there are 2 types of realtime systems:
- soft realtime systems only have to meet deadlines on the average, its OK to occasionally miss a deadline the system will still keep functioning. such systems typically only interact with people. if the system misses too many deadlines the people get irritated with its slowness, but the task still gets done.
- hard realtime systems must meet all deadlines, missing a single one means the system has failedto perform the function it was designed for. such systems are typically used to control other equipment; some examples of realtime systems are: industrial process controllers, aircraft flight control systems, missile guidance systems, spaceprobe guidance and control systems, experiment data collection controllers, etc. in each of these cases missing even one deadline could result in a catastrophic failure (with possible loss of life) or permanent loss of data from an experiment costing many millions of dollars to setup.
