   I agree that the device offers many opportunities. Nevertheless it's not just about porting some interpreter, you also have to deal with apple policy which is not that friendly to such ideas. See for example how Scratch was rejected last ye

   The linux kernel archive public key (which is needed to verify the signature) is well known and many people have it's own copy for several years. But if the atacker gained access to the private key, he would be able to sign trojanized tarba

   All tarbals are signed via linux kernel archives gpg key, which according to the kernel.org security breach announcement was not compromised. So I don't see a problem here.

    Duckduckgo seems to offer reasonable results: http://duckduckgo.com/?q=L . While it doesn't solve this problem entirely, it's a good starting point.

    I remember reading about this issue in chapter dedicated the Challager disaster in 'What Do You Care What Other People Think? '. Even in the begining of the shuttle program, the landing was controlled by computer with exception of two thing

    In this example, the poor readability is a feature. Nevertheless the ":" character is bash inner function, which tells the shell to do nothing (except the arguments expansion), like pass in python. This means that you can redefine it and us

    While the NT kernel was designed with support for multiple architectures in mind (MS call this HAL), it doesn't really matter in the end. And I'm not saying that MS engineers are not capable of releasing the NT kernel for other architecture
