Part of the simplicity of those 20 commands revolve around the everything-as-a-file architecture of *nix though.
I'm sure the 2300 commandlets involve everything from interacting with files to registry settings to services...
Would it have been so hard for them to deprecate the registry interface by making it look like a folder to the command line?
Services could technically be placed in the same boat using file links: (I have to confess, I don't know if this is even possible in *nix. It's pretty much off the cuff thinking.) /windows/services/enabled/some.exe /windows/services/active/some.exe ... where 'del/active/some.exe' would trigger the application to end if permissions allowed and remove the link from that folder (Removing it from enabled would disable it.) And in that case, all you need to worry about is file permissions.
I kind of forgot about coreboot/OpenBIOS. Looking at their motherboard support page, apparently I'm not alone. It's a neat concept, but the BIOS is generally just configured and ignored for most people, including geeks.
This makes me wonder why you'd use such cooling on hot processors then. You'd have to maintain a close relative temperature across the entire processor in order to prevent that vapor barrier.
Completely insane constructor semantics trying to look a bit like Java in a prototype-based language (new foo() calls foo() with this set to a new copy of foo.prototype. WTF?)
It's not necessary to deal with those all the time though... Check out "JavaScript: The Good Parts" sometime. He covers methods to write your code so that you never touch.prototype after making a "method helper". (And there's really no need to use '.constructor' or 'new'.)
Hmm, the only thing knots are useful for in my world are shoes and trash bags. This is coming from a prior Boy Scout who had to learn all kinds of fancy knots as a kid (and has summarily forgotten all but the simple ones.)
Now, I still think that Cable Lacing is a "cool thing" from a now bygone era but I don't regularly practice the technique. Zip ties and Velcro have replaced most all needs for complex wire wrangling.
You're saying that the tiny traces on the memory die do not inflict exponentially more resistance than the mammoth (in comparison) PCB traces and contacts?
Humans lived under "true communism" for hundreds of thousands of years longer than they have lived under capitalism, or feudalism, or any other socio-economic system.
Yeah, and it got us feudalism, capitalism, dictatorships... If "true communism" wasn't corruptible, we'd still be using it. The point of failure is conglomeration of various communist communities. You had tribal wars in the past where communities fought each other for resources. Not much has changed except the scale.
So what happens when I sell my share of the company to my friend for something?
How do you "own" a part of the company you work for unless you are given something to own? If you are given something to own, who's to say you can't give that to someone else in trade?
If you could focus the laser on objects in front of you, it might be kind of neat/beneficial. Something like a night vision camera that identifies objects in the distance and the laser fill is drawn on that object to accentuate it.

I just had horrible thoughts of walking through a jungle and hearing the Macarena or Friday.
Where have you been the past decade? ;)

I'm just flabbergasted by 2300 "commandlets" in PowerShell... they couldn't abstract and simplify the system enough to reduce that?

I'm not sure how Patents and Capitalism go hand in hand... in fact, I'd think that Patents inhibit Capitalism.

I happened to grow up on a 386SX... I know that pain all too well.
Even if it was dangerous... what a cool story to share. "Yeah, I was overclocking a new line of processors and I spilled this all over my arm."
...started drinking WAY too early...
Define: too early
Is that when the bar closes?
So that's you who keeps peeking in the window...

The rest seems like personal preference to me.

One could conceivably argue the the content of the drive being worth $5 million is art in that it's an artistic statement.

Pfft, is that all?

LED or Xenon?
Lasers give new meaning to "Beamer".
I certainly hope so. dotslash.com looks to be some kind of East Asian search engine and dotslash.org is a parked domain.
A US mailman would laugh merrily as he continued to stuff your box full of shit you didnt ask for.
I live in the US and my mail-person did, in-fact, cut back drastically on the amount of junk I got.
Obviously, a method of drawing little images of people doing things would be beneficial.
