Microsoft's New Programming Language, "M" 334

Anthony_Cargile writes "Microsoft announced Friday their new 'M' language, designed especially for building textual domain-specific languages and software models with XAML. Microsoft will also announce Quadrant, for building and viewing models visually, and a repository for storing and combining models using a SQL Server database. While some say the language is simply their 'D' language renamed to a further letter down the alphabet, the language is criticized for lack of a promised cross-platform function because of its ties to MS SQL server, which only runs on Windows."

I built the same circuit with a parallel port interface to the raw (non-XORed) output, and it cost even less. However with that design, you need to do the XORing or hashing in software. We ended up writing a daemon that would feed the Linux kernel's entropy pool whenever it was low.
