  1. Where's the source? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Funny

    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?!

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

    ... 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!
