Review of Mac OS X 10.3
alphakappa writes "The NY Times has a review of all the new Panther features which states that the 150 odd features added are so good that calling it a 0.1 upgrade is not fair. It finds the new Expose feature and other security features (like being able to encrypt/decrypt the entire home directory on the fly) extremely appealing. Gripes include the $130 price tag and the (somewhat) lack of backward compatibility."
you insensitive clod!
. It finds the new Expose feature and other security features
it also rubs the lotion on its skin....

Your yearly Mac Tax is due. Why else would we call it FeeBSD.
Hackers and academics have uncovered one Windows security hole after another, turning Microsoft into a frantic little Dutch boy at the dike without enough fingers
I don't know about you, but the image I got in my head was definitely not G-rated.

Shame on you for missing the obligatory cat-fight reference....
there are no stupid questions, but there are a lot of inquisitive idiots
I've been using Panther in a mixed environment with Jaguar, Cheeta and Puma releases with no fights.
I think there's a job opening for you at the Mirage...
So it's too good for a 0.1 release, but not good enough for $130. Hmm...
How about a 0.2 release, and $99? Or we could leave the price, and bump the numbering up to 10.5 - that would be worth $130 of anyone's money!

IRC, Longhorn should integrate OpenGL GUI drawing a step further, not just for compositing the screen, but also for compositing the windows... each button, text field, etc being an OpenGL object
You do realise you're comparing a vapourware feature allegedly present in a Microsoft product unlikely to be on shelves before 2006, to an Apple product shipping now in 2003? Christ, if Microsoft is managing to have individual elements in the GUI rendered as OpenGL components in Longhorn, then OS X will have full 4D SensorRama (TM) blowjobs included free by then.
What's your point, except to illustrate that MS is 3 years behind the game?
>If I look at your laptop and see "Plan for World Domination.rtf," I know you're planning something, even if I can't read the file.
If I looked at your laptop and saw a file named "Plan for World domination.rtf", I'd probably lose a lot of respect for you. Using such an obvious filename for your plan isn't very smart.
I'd probably call my plan for world domination file "ILikefluffyKittens.rtf" or something equally innocuous. Or better yet, "readme.txt", since nobody ever reads READMEs.

Why do you care how they're labelled? Do you, by any chance, have pointy hair?
Trust an Apple user to pay $500 to save $500. ;-)
Mahnamahna!
"You see a lot of the same thing in the import racing circuit, oddly enough."
How do you race imports? Order two things from abroad and see which arrives first?
That was classic intercourse!
I think there's a job opening for you at the Mirage...
yeah, but a guy who used to work there says it's a pain in the neck...
Ooh, a sarcasm detector. Oh, that's a real useful invention.
How many AES-128 encrypted files have you broken into?
(crickets)
Then shut the fuck up.
In that sense, for the overwhelming majority of Mac users, it wouldn't matter if the cryptosystem used DES, or even pkzip-encryption; a determined attacker is going to break the system with the password.
You fucking idiot. You're completely missing the point! For the overwhelming majority of computer users--not just Mac users--there are no determined attackers! What are you storing on your laptop? Confidential business information, and confidential personal information. Stuff that you would prefer no one read. No national secrets, that's for damn sure. Who's going to throw a million CPU-hours at cracking your home directory? NOBODY. Because the people with a million CPU-hours to spend sure as hell don't give a rat's ass about reading your dirty iChats with Janet in Marketing.
He prolly didn't notice the space and thought it meant 49 people downloadID it.

Worse than that. The job really bites.
Shop as usual. And avoid panic buying.
