-   *  outside of the control of the programmer, which can influence the execution
-   *  of the program in minute ways. Those are generally not an issue, or even
-   *  noticeable using a desktop operating system, but they can be a factor, when
-   *  the timing of a particular sequence of events is critical. For example, one
-   *  might to wait a very specific number amount of time after receiving an
-   *  interrupt before changing the state of an output pin. When programming with
-   *  micro-controllers, as found on the Arduino Uno, there very little between
-   *  your code and the actual hardware, and multiple executions of the same
-   *  sketch will probably match each other almost to the very tick of a clock
-   *  (which happens at the speed of 16 MHz). Systems running full-fledged
-   *  desktop operating systems, such as Linux, are generally multi-tasking,
-   *  which means that the operating system allocates small slices of time to
-   *  the many different processes that run concurrently. The effect of this is
-   *  often offset by the sheer clock speeds that such computers run. But
-   *  regardless: if you require your sketch to adhere to a very specific timing,
-   *  you might be disappointed.
