Is 7bit a group of robots?

[vivalarevolución]

I do not understand how one person is capable of doing so much stuff for this website and the community. I think 7bit is a group of robots that the human 7bit has programmed to do his work while the human 7bit does what he pleases.

He's a Cylon

[Daniel Beardsmore]

How do you know that 7bit isn't a robot who's programmed itself a bunch more robots? Maybe 7bit is a self-cloning robot factory.

(Either way, it goes to show that that 8th bit isn't needed after all.)

[Vierax]

You don't need a 8th bit when you have 7 qubit

So this is the start of the singularity. Interesting. I always thought it would be different. Who could have guessed that keyboards would be the thing that enslaved us to the robots?

[Acanthophis]

Met the guy. Dude's definitely a robot

[mr_a500]

You can easily make your own 7bit robot - if you have some soldering skills. You'll need some capacitors, a bunch of diodes, a breadboard, 3 LEDs, some wires of random length, a ball of twine, some barbed wire, a bottle of ketchup - emptied - then refilled with skunk oil, a dead beaver and parts from a Chinese bicycle.

[Halvar]

Must be -- no human being could possibly churn out this in one weekend.

LOL!

The wiki article was easy!

Only the how-to part is hand written.

I generate the wiki from the pricelist file.

[webwit]

People got the order of things wrong. First there were the robots. Then they became sentient, of which 7bit is the bodily representation.

[Daniel Beardsmore]

First there was darkness. Then came the strangers. They were a race as old as time itself. They had mastered the ultimate technology: the ability to alter wiki pages by will alone.

[7bit]

Nope!

First there where only IBM mainframes.
Then, DEC came out with the PDP-11.
Then, K&&R created UNIX.
Then, 7bit has been born.

[Muirium]

7bit ASCII: 1963
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ascii#History

UNIX: 1969
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Unix

7bit the entity must have taken several years to form as an emergent property. Not surprising, given the hardware of the time.

[vivalarevolución]

Met the guy. Dude's definitely a robot

Did 7bit send this robot as his representation, or did the robots send him?

Also, I received some of R4 leftovers today. Send my thanks to the packaging robot.
