Of course, the act of changing the value of <>geekess<> would require a bit of coding, which would be an act of geekness, in contradiction with the expected new value of the variable.
For avoiding this contradiction, you must just go back to your old G3, and never never open a terminal.
Maybe it could be implemented as a user-space daemon, provided the variable geekness is exported… I’ll think about it and post a proposal for solution ;)
It would be wonderful, BTW, to be able to open Mac OS X in a window under Gentoo ;) Aqua is cool, user-friendly, etc, but Darwin is too closed for me to feel comfortable on it. ¿Maybe thinking on a Linux port of Aqua? ¿Will a modified version of Linux be able to run everything above Darwin? Interesting to think about it…
It wouldn’t be a port, but a clone. Aqua is, sadly, highly closed source…
Anyway… I don’t know what you need of your unix (or your pseudounix) that you can’t find in Darwin :(
What about a layered system as follows?
Let’s say you have Linux running on your machine. If you are on a non-PPC architecture, run a PPC-emulation layer. Then run Darwin on top (or a Darwin emulation layer) and then you just have every service Aqua needs in order to run…
What’s lacking in Darwin? For my taste, too many things. I chose Gentoo because it allows me 100 % hackeability. I can tune every single little thing in my system — including every possible source code from any possible program I’m using. And Darwin is very limited in this aspect — too many of the services typically provided by *nix as daemons with /etc scripts are taken care of by other layers in Mac OS X. For example, there’s no /etc/fstab in my Mac OS X, that means that I’m not under control when it comes to volume mounting… It’s an OK approach for Aqua, because it intends to be an opaque user layer, but it’s not so cool when you’d like to be in full control of your system…
Mmmh… I’ve never cared enough to know about my Darwin… (I spend eight hours a day with unix serving my sires… My time in front of my iBook is for doing beautiful things… [by the way... do you know some css? I need some help with it...])
But: there is an /etc/fstab in Darwin. It’s noc active, but I’m sure there must be a way to let it take control of the mounting volumes… You just have to investigate. Darwin is open source, and it’s designed to work without Aqua (there is Darwin for those ugly x86…). You can change it for Gnome, KDE, or whatever… so there must be a way…
Hm… as I don’t work 8 hours a day doing *nix administration I need my *nix dose in my spare time ;) anyway, darwin is open source, but not intended to work without Aqua (ok, it _can_ work without Aqua, but that’s not its strong point…)
As for portability… I’d have to check it, but porting to a non-standard system is not always very straight-forward (you can read the comments of minix users as they tried to port anything to minix — see comp.os.minix around 1990…)
There can be a way to do nice things, but actually Darwin without Aqua doesn’t seem to me very friendly — GNU is much friendlier in that aspect, actually thought to be used from the command line since the very beginning…
I’ll do some homework before I can give a decent answer, though ;)
“Realmente curioso”, pensó ella. “Nunca había visto a dos hombres masturbarse mutuamente”.
Tan sólo le llevó un par de segundos plantearse la dureza de lo que iba a hacer. Mucho menos la conveniencia del comentario, o sus posibles <>consecuencias<>. Al menos, era una licencia que su demonio podría permitirle; y después de todo, quería aprovechar la libertad de estar de vacaciones, lejos de la ciudad.
De modo que abrió la ventana, y lo lanzó. Se detuvo un segundo, eso sí, a saborear la metáfora.
Y después, volvió a su texto. Y siguió escribiendo.
¿Qué quieres que diga? ¿”¡Qué ingenioso!”? Amparada por tu diablillo no dejas de lanzar puñales a la gente, luego tenemos que entender que tú eres la víctima…
No lo entiendo. Debe ser que soy extremadamente insensible, o que te he defraudado enormemente en algo — pero aún no sé en qué, nunca he sabido qué esperas de mí…
Semejante aseveración (bastante freudiana, por cierto), se merece una respuesta contundente de verdad. No voy a humillarme escribiénola aquí, pero la recibirás en tu e-mail. Así podrás volver a decir que no lo has recibido…
