We hit the technological singularity about a decade ago. There is no more tech news. How many truly nerd stories come out? Six months of weekly stories on the latest comic book movie? "New" technology that is repackaged stuff that's been around since the 90's? A find of a new exoplanet, black hole or dinosaur bone? What else is there? Most posts here now are either political or security hence politically related.
Logged in to make this comment. People have been doing this for a long while. Over at http://www.cnczone.com/ you can find dozens of people who've built their own machines as well as links any and all material that you might need to buy. And they build all types of machines from 8-axis titanium milling to 2-axis wood routers. It's a fairly big hobbyist industry.
Bandwidth is not the same as latency. If I push though 1Mb in 1ms and the other 999ms nothing, it can be quite different than 1kb every 1ms. Both users see data throughput of 1Mb/s, the former would experience unacceptable details for gaming.
that I attended for DigitalTV, the claim was made that studies indicated in the US viewers were more concerned with sound and audio whereas in Japan these preferences were reversed.
Best security system available. At least according to an insurance adjuster relative who told me that security systems don't work. Plus you can have a wonderful companion and maybe even save a life,
I think that it's a mostly bad idea from a general purpose perspective, but I've worked with a number of POSIX compliant COTS embedded OS's, all have which have bash like shells, but only as an option with the purposed tasks being called directly.
I'd think that it'd be a bad idea to rely on the existence of a shell for an application...but I really don't have any experience here. In my experience, sometimes you want a shell for maintenance purposes, butmore often than not, you leave it out to save space.
I'm probably showing my Linux (Unix) ignorance here, but why "If you remove/bin/sh, the system will not even boot."?
Doesn't, towards the end of boot, the OS create an initial task? This currently being a shell which then goes off and spawns additional tasks? Why couldn't all of those be linked and spawned with the kernel instead?
I'm just asking the technicalities, not the merets.
That affirmation is completely false.
Stop spreading your lies.
You don't know what you're talking about.
In soviet russia your post is wrong about you.

Wow, the quality of slashdot comments has really declined over the years. Reposting the same canned responses as I can find on any other newsite.
Poo-tee-weet

Is that even possible? Fuel:battery energy density ratios with efficiency added in are in the neighborhood of 50-100:1.
If you can't explain it to a kindergarten student, then you don't understand it yourself
I really, still don't see the issue with this.
Apparently neither did Google.
I thought TRON was the most widely used OS on the planet.
Personally I like: It will utterly destroy your computer.
It's not real-time.
Someone has finally developed a strategy to kill Linux.

and write infringing software just because I like to stick it to the man.
