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.

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.)

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?

Met the guy. Dude's definitely a robot

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.

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.

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

Posted: **28 Oct 2013, 22:12**

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.

Posted: **28 Oct 2013, 22:21**

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.

Posted: **28 Oct 2013, 22:24**

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.

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.
