Thanks to the bright ideas of some nice people, I'd like to explore the
possibilities provided by the typical Rube Goldberg equipment.
Pipes can be implemented by running processes on separate processors, and
networking them with carrier pigeons.
Character manipulation - by means of monotype machine which casts them
into lead, and having a font designed in such a way that the weight of '/'
is significantly different from the weight of all other characters.
Regular expression matching - by means of scales and conveyor belt (to
convey the lead characters); or substitute snorks/elephants as character
carriers instead of conveyor belts.
The possibilities are endless! And when you attack the problem of writing
a device driver using Rube Goldberg's technology, it will be pure bliss!!!

There is no IGLU Cabal. All animals in the Rube Goldberg implementation
of the IGLU Cabal have died from hunger.
The deaf in Israel demand 100% captioning of Hebrew language movies, TV
and cable TV programs.
