Unix has three definitions.

1. Legacy Unix, based on the AT&T Unix source code. eg: Solaris and AIX.

2. Certified Unix(tm). eg: Solaris, AIX, and OS X (apparently not included in their decline of Unix numbers).

3. Unix-like operating systems. eg: Linux, *BSD. (*BSD is also somewhat legacy in that AT&T incorporated their source code).

I don't think you can classify BSD as "Unix-like". My understanding that it is considered full-on Unix. And the basis for Solaris, no less.

4) Linux based phones (android)

Then he was an idiot. That doesn't even make sense. OSI is a logical way to think about networking. Its not an actual protocol.

Well there were a nice pile of overengineered applications in the OSI definition as well.

I still twitch when x.400 is mentioned.

Erm. Unity is a well-known 3D gaming engine, dude....

Could of fooled me. As far as I know, Unity is a very expensive product from Cisco for providing voicemail integrated with Microsoft Outlook and Exchange.

So apparently there is some niche product that is a 3D engine of some sort, and I get that.
But the publisher should still not be doing something that requires me to install software, to view it.

If they're posting it online, they should use a standard format such as HTML5.

Nah Unity is the value subtracted interface to Gnome in the latest versions of Ubuntu

It seems awful to me. The writing is bad. The characters are bad. The plots are bad. The props/special effects are bad.

Is it something we Ironically like because its so bad or does it have good aspects I've over looked?

Don't get me wrong. I love science fiction. But this seems like garbage.

Anyone have an idea as to what I'm missing here?
