So in a fine grained kernel bootup verbosity world perhaps we should
have a few more modes:
school-library-silent :
Absolutely no talking from the kernel or it goes to detention
juggling-penquin-ascii-animated-statusbar:
Far far better than just silly little "."'s
just-tell-me-what-I-think-is-worth-a-text-notice:
Something close to the current quiet mode, using mindreading
technology that I have
patented to give a modicum of textual scroll based on what the user
"thinks" is worth
reporting.
graphical:
yawn, boring
subliminal:
why ruin the pretty graphical bootup with text I can actively read.
sublimal messaging will
be far more effective and far less instrusive on the eye.
peepd:
translate all textual or graphical information about statup into a
soundscape...
too bad the netpeep project appears to be dead.
