Why ensuring system reliability is not a guarantee of system safety?
Because the two are not synonymous, although they might appear to be to someone unfamiliar with the particular system. In computers, for instance, a perfectly 'reliable' system--one such system is known as a 'network'--may be full of security, or 'safety' issues, that a comparably reliable system may overcome simply by the addition of a few switches.

How does the application software need the system software?
Application software sometimes require system software to access some of the operational aspects. For instance during installation, an application software may require motherboard or harddisk serial number. For that purpose, an application software has to depend on a system software to get that information.
The operating system works between the hardware and the applications. Applications focus on what the user needs to do, like type a word processing document or create a graphic. For the application to work it needs to be able to communicate with the hardware for doing things like saving things or printing things. It does that through the operating system.
A diagram like a pyramid in 4 sections or 4 blocks on each other is often used that show the hardware at the bottom, the operating system next, the applications next and the user at the top. Another way of thinking of it is that the user uses the applications, the applications use the operating system and the operating system uses the hardware.

There are different scheduling mechanisms that RTOSes can use to be deterministic. The most common is preemptive scheduling. In this model, each task has a relative priority. The highest priority task that is ready to run gets control of the processor. This is what provides deterministic behavior. When no task is ready to run the system will go to the idle loop. An RTOS is simply a tool to acheive a deterministic system. It is up to the developer to build a system that is capable of meeting its deadlines. A poorly designed system can encounter situations where important tasks do not get processor time because a higher priority task has not released.
How do I install plugins for Logitech's G15 keyboard e g where do I put them?
It all depends on the plugin really. for most plugins, it needs to be installed in the plugin folder of the software- usually in c:\program files\ logitech\ g15 . however- some plugins will work as a separate programs, such as echovioce or the g15 plugin for minilyrics, so will simply need to be unpacked and will work as an install .exe.
