Oooh, I'll take a risk here and wander into the realm of techie pendantry.

I don't view /dev/zero is a stream of nulls but a stream of zeros. To
me, null is no value whereas zero is, errr, zero. I guess /dev/null
could give a stream of nulls :)

I'm aware of /dev/random and /dev/urandom but why isn't there a /dev/one?
