The main reason there are no raw devices [in Linux] is that I personally think that raw devices are a stupid idea.

I would warn against holsters with devices for quick-draw. Devices always fail when you need them most.
William (author) Powell
In the Unix system view, anything which needs to talk to raw devices INSTEAD OF THE KERNEL DOING SO is broken. There are no apologies to be made. Period. If you want X to talk to IO devices, what next? ls?
Theo de Raadt
Of course I'm right Games are data manipulation devices, and they are biofeedback devices, when used with the Dual Shock controller. Your obvious problem is that the Dual Shock has been implanted into your prefrontal cortex. Hooah.
Jack Thompson
As with all quantum devices, a qubit is a delicate flower. If you so much as look at it, you destroy it.
Hans Christian von Baeyer
Education, then, beyond all other devices of human origin, is the great equalizer of the conditions of men, — the balance-wheel of the social machinery. I do not here mean that it so elevates the moral nature as to make men disdain and abhor the oppression of their fellow-men. This idea pertains to another of its attributes. But I mean that it gives each man the independence and the means by which he can resist the selfishness of other men. It does better than to disarm the poor of their hostility towards the rich: it prevents being poor.
