>it's a Unix system, I know this
>>220133122Do Unix users really store their files in rows of boxes that you click on 1 by 1 at 2fps?
>>220133167I look like this and say this
>>220133162that file browser really exists (although i've never used it) and everyone thinks it blowsbut the great thing about *nix boxes is that you can pick and choose the UI. microsoft and apple got people to believe that UI == OS, but that's retarded.i always wondered where lex got exposed to that shit, though
>>220133285She's from a wealthy family so her private school might have had some sort of Unix boxes but it's unlikely they would have anything running IRIX. Guess it's no more unbelievable than "root" in 'Person of Interest' picking that as her handle when she was a tween.
>>220133645at the time, the only place you'd run into unix would have been universities
>>220133695Mostly true but private prep schools were essentially colleges for minors. Bill Gates got his start when his high school had a terminal that connected to a timeshare computer that the school paid the fees to access. Private schools, especially for the upper class, are nothing like public schools.And for the record, even as a poorfag in rural Alabama in the 80s, I had access to a Unix clone on our home computer. Unix in schools was unusual but certainly not unheard of for a private school.
>>220133695In high school in the 90s I'd go to the local university library and use the sun computers that ran mosaic. And now I post on 4chan.
>>220133162Late 80s and 90s really loved the "computer as a 3D visualization" gimmick.
>>220133122It's really cool how her arcane hacker knowledge endowed her with the ability to click on a user-friendly menu and selected a clearly labeled option.
>>220133645>>220133695irix is literally the CGI operating system at the time so getting that specifically would only be found at basically ILM or maybe a couple full ass pilot training flight simulator companies.
>>220133162unix is command based so the actual OS is just a prompt. That is an app (UI) someone made running on the OS
>>220135858that holds to this very day, if you can operate menus without training you are in the top 1%>>220136232nah the general "unix" would have been but irix and probably sunOS were much more tailored to business workstation stuff by then not just multi-user server-wannabes.
>>220135858you clearly understimate how retarded the average person is
>>220136340it doesnt matter what gui you are using, unix is always a command prompt based OS. when you click shit that is just running commands
>>220136232>unix is command based so the actual OS is just a prompt.no. that's a shell, perhaps displayed in a terminal emulator. they are user programs like any other.
>>220133122how did she know
>>220133162if this is a serious question - noif this is a meme question - yes
>>220133122They had been building it up from the beginning, when she gets in the jeep she goes “interactive cd-rom!!!” It s called a tight script
>>220133122looks like a pretty cool video game but it was a weird way to store files
>hacker noisesI'm in
>>220133122that was the precise moment I walked out of the kino theatre
>>220136232>unix is command based so the actual OS is just a prompt. That is an app (UI) someone made running on the OS???
> “I’ve been living with a particular type of lymphoma for about five years and I was on chemotherapy and the pretty miserable business but it was keeping me alive,” Neill, who is best known for playing Alan Grant in the “Jurassic Park” franchise, told Australian network 7News of his treatment. At one point, after the chemotherapy stopped working, “I was at a loss and it looked like I was on the way out, which wasn’t ideal obviously,” he continued. After undergoing a cutting edge treatment, which genetically modifies blood cells, Neill said he is now free of cancer. “I’ve just had a scan just now and there is no cancer in my body, that’s an extraordinary thing,” he said. “I’m very, very excited that this can happen.”
