On an American OS. Its almost like the ISS was an international effort!

I don't understand your meaning? Your looking out the windows of the Italian made cupola at several of the Russian space station modules. You look down at the Canadian built controller for the space station's Canadian built arm. All personnel are carried on Russian rockets. Hmmm.......

Depends on its use – it's just as likely to be running Linux, though the 'SSC-6' label supports the Windows theory:

The remaining laptops are part of the Ops Lan network. They are called SSC (Station Support Computers). They are Windows based and are not connected to the ISS 1553 system. They are used for everything from viewing procedures, performing supply inventory, recording notes, sending e-mail, video conferencing, on down to Twitter.

Great article @NJW . Here's some of those "Russian Laptops" lined up on the the Zvezda module -

Subject: How to Wash a Cat

1. Thoroughly clean the toilet.
2. Add the required amount of shampoo to the toilet
water and have both
lids up.
3. Obtain the cat and soothe him while you carry him
towards the
bathroom.
4. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet
and close both
lids.
(You may need to stand on the lid so that he cannot
escape.) The cat
will
self-agitate and make ample suds. Never mind the
noises that comes from
your

toilet, the cat is actually enjoying this. CAUTION: Do
not get any part
of
your body get too close to the edge, as his paws will
be reaching out
for
anything they can find.
5. Flush the toilet three or four times. This
provides a "power wash"
and
"rinse," which I have found to be quite effective.
6. Have someone open the door to the outside and
ensure that there are
no
people between the toilet and the outside door.
7. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and
quickly lift both
lids.
8. The now-clean cat will rocket out of the toilet,
and run outside
where he

will dry himself.

This reminds me of some of the posts here on TN where you try to decipher the post's meaning due to punctuation (or lack of it):

An English professor wrote the words "A woman without her man is nothing" on the blackboard and directed the students to punctuate it correctly.

The men wrote: "A woman, without her man, is nothing."

The women wrote: "A woman: Without her, man is nothing."

Punctuation is everything!​

When you go flying and the airline folks are like, "Your bag is too heavy for the plane; you are going to have to carry some of it on."

Don't ya just love those useless road signs.

The programmable illuminated gantry signs are the best, when they're programmed to state "SIGN NOT IN USE".

Or when you're driving slowly, peering through dense fog and you can see one of the gantry signs flashing ahead but the fog is too thick to see what it says. Eventually you get close enough to read it .... "WARNING FOG!".


This is one of my favourites. Probably fake, but with so many stupid road signs, it's almost believable someone would make such a sign:

So that would mean the road is dry when it's not raining, right?

you're making assumptions...

As a young kid, my brother once jumped into a pool and exclaimed "Wow! It's really wet!"

He meant to say cold, but 15 years later my family will still yell "wow it's really wet" whenever we touch water while he's around.

 

[GTP]

you're making assumptions...

Well, based on the information on the sign; and with the absence of a sign saying that "there is no water on the road when the road is dry" I can only assume it to be so...

So that would mean the road is dry when it's not raining, right?

You would be wrong those times when the road is still wet from a rain that has stopped falling.

 

[GTP]

Aahh! But Larry, with the absence of a sign saying that "Road may have residual water from recent rain" , I have to assume that the road is dry!

ROTFLMAO!!! That is so true!

This is OK Go's latest over-the-top music video, for their song 'Obsession.' It features 567 printers printing out an every-changing backdrop to the musicians in some sort of technicolor stop-motion extravaganza.
