Not *exactly* BSD. The font appears to be Monaco, so the terminal is probably based on actual output from Mac OS X's terminal app. Also, that's a Mac G3 case being opened.

Looking at it more closely, the case seems to be based more on the Power Mac G4 than G3.

I can't see emacs here anywhere either!

I was about to say the same about emacs. The only reference is in the piece of commented code at the end of the page :P

Yes, the reference to emacs is in commented out code from the bash script. But they actually wrote emacs down, and comments, and a bash script.

My assumption about BSD is based on the Berkeley copyright.

I did notice the PowerMac G4, but the copyright in the bash script says 94 meanwhile that computer was launched in 99. The book is from 2003.

Still, maybe not perfect but somebody knew what he was doing when he placed that. Somebody that knew way more than usual in media/fiction.

She's just looking at the daily crontab script. A set of maintenance shell commands that are intended to run daily. Specifically the commented out section is a cleanup code that removes a bunch of known temporary files, including some .emacs_* stuff which I assume is some intermediate emacs storage thing. Authors needed a generic "cool hacker" screenshot. Not as exciting as lisp code in serial experiment lain %)

that is a screenshot from Serial Experiment Lain, as Foo mentioned.

Mac os x uses bsd users pace (that is command line tools, structure, etc. come from bsd). The file is no longer there but few versions ago you still had /etc/daily (now the whole system of maintenance scripts has been replaced with apple's modernized equivalent) with the copyright comment from the times when the file was first written. The lineage is long and old, but everything points to her opening an existing file on one of the earlier os x machines.

I see your "Lisp in Serial Experiments Lain" and raise you one "Perl in The Matrix":

Don't they know that less is better than more?

Looks great...

The physical server typically runs a hypervisor which is tasked with creating, releasing, and managing the resources of "guest" operating systems, or virtual machines. These guest operating systems are allocated a share of resources of the physical server, typically in a manner in which the guest is not aware of any other physical resources save for those allocated to it by the hypervisor.
