Until now I had no idea there was a game. :) This comic strip is the second thing I visualize when I think of MAD magazine. The first is the drawing of Alfred Newman's face. It is interesting how different generations are seemingly cut

BIOS just runs whatever is in the first 512 byte sector. Unless it fits in 512 bytes this is not a "kernel" but is just instructions to jump to another address, where there is more small bootstrap code that loads another program,

Do you think there are any BIOS developers who can do all their work without Microsoft Windows?

Does anyone disagree that UEFI has the capability to be an OS itself? If it is only used as a "BIOS" then is it unreasonably adding the surface area for bugs and attacks? Is it much larger and more complex than legacy BIOS? Is t

Would your idea include small form factor external media as the "card/chip"? What would be the negatives to this approach? I have been doing this for many years and have still not found any. Currently I prefer RO space embedd

Nothing perjorative at all about the term "nerd". The issue is not simply privacy, it's control of the hardware.

This is a great comment. You should not close apps because you may interfere with tracking your location and other data collection. Data collection is necessary to enrich your "user experience". When we know what you want we can

Can HolyC be used to write a network stack? Are there any plans to do this?

Ever tried bitlbee? Not sure how well it's keeping up with the new protocols but years ago it was a way to consolidate at least a few of the older ones into a single application. Also not sure why this idea has not been replicated.

That domain name brings back memories. Registration dates back to 1989. It's WR Stevens' website, isn't it?

You are allowed to be concerned. I probably read too much into your comment. But I think you all understand my point. I was concerned that some mortals might be scared off from experimenting with NaCl. "Experts only." Some yea

"tmux was supposed to provide [of] additional value" Are you sure? Could it be the author just wanted a BSD licensed screen alternative or some other reason(s)? "The keybindings are different" argument seems quite silly
