Title: NetBSD Toaster
Post by: M51DPS on 12 August 2005, 00:19

Odds are, you have probably heard about NetBSD being ported to practically every architecture out there, including (jokingly (http://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-users/2004/08/20/0001.html)) toasters. Well, that dream has become a reality (http://www.embeddedarm.com/news/netbsd_toaster.htm).

I want one.

And yet, the most often used appliance, the television, is still as dumb as a box of rocks.  I don't know if BSD is the solution, but somebody has got to do something about the awful television paradigm we seem to be stuck with.

That is awesome, I might have to get one seeing as my toaster is such a peice of shit that I had to express my distaste with music just to get over it (I have not used the fucker in months).

Yeah, I would program it so it can tell me how many emails I have waiting for me, hell I could do lots of things with it. It would be great, wake up in the morning to see your IDS reports on your toaster, it is really practical.

Hahah, you can use it to toast junk mail. ;)

OMG, that is a brilliant idea! :D
