Of course you do, it is just that the bytes are in random order.
But I see that you are thinking of /dev/nu

heat which is vented through the heatsink / fan assembly. This is why
CPU cooling is increasingly important; as p

your computer is owned by gummint, in which case FBI gets it

Without actually looking at the code, the generic definition of /dev/null goes
something to the effect of:
open /dev/null

The bit bucket.
You won't have to empty the one in your machine until the year
2038, which we assume someone will come up with a way of recyling
the used bits by then (or just compressing them into
