/weeniks/ , n. 1. [ITS] A derogatory term for Unix , derived from Unix
|
|
|
|
|
weenie. According to one noted ex-ITSer, it is the operating system
|
|
|
|
|
preferred by Unix Weenies: typified by poor modularity, poor reliability,
|
|
|
|
|
hard file deletion, no file version numbers, case sensitivity everywhere,
|
|
|
|
|
and users who believe that these are all advantages. (Some ITS fans behave
|
|
|
|
|
as though they believe Unix stole a future that rightfully belonged to them.
|
|
|
|
|
See ITS , sense 2.) 2. [Brown University] A Unix-like OS developed for
|
|
|
|
|
tutorial purposes at Brown University. See

http://www.cs.brown.edu/courses/cs167/weenix.html. Named independently of
|
|
|
|
|
the ITS usage.
