Where's the source?

[Anonymous Coward]

There is no source. The source remains unreleased because the source does not exist. The real story is the part that Apple is not telling us: The fact that they have evolved an organic "force" capable of developing a kernel directly, as executable machine code, without human intervention. The implications are terrifying and profound.

Why do you think they called it.... DARWIN?!

The part you were unaware of, is that MS is miles ahead of them as Outlook 2002 can automatically run organic machine code without human intervention.

That's no AI. That's Clippy. He's been running in spite of human intervention for years.

If I can get this to work...

[rickthewizkid]

... do I get a "Darwin Award?"

Heaven knows I'll be spending enough time hacking on this that I won't have *time* for kids... :)

Seriously, kudos to Apple for releasing this... it was a good treat for the day my DSL came back to life!

Re:Anyone actually use Darwin?

[Anonymous Coward]

I use it because my operating system, Mac OS X, runs on it.

Darwin

[Zen Programmer]

Only Apple would have the balls/ingenuity/vanity to name their product Darwin.

In other news, Windows has released a competing OS codenamed 'God'.

Darwin Switch Commercials

[Oculus Habent]

I don't think we'll see any Darwin/x86 Switch commercials...

I was typing this shell script on my dad's RedHat box, and it was a really good shell script, and I went to save and it was like "bleep bleep bleep bleep" and, like, half of it was gone. And I was like, "unnnh?". And I had to write it over, but it wasn't as good 'cause I had to do it fast...
