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."
They put enough of the fucking things out. One a week.

has been considerably extended. It adds a new section on nuclear physics that includes the story of radioactivity, a MRI scan of humans making love and the dream of grand unification. The present 14th revision also adds more figures on special relativity, a short explanation of k calculus, the paradox of the relativistic submarine, a photograph and description of how some caterpillars shoot away their faecal matter, a photograph of a basilisk running over water, Stowe's periodic table of the elements, a beautiful picture of the analemma, references to monadology, the question why birds are not usually seen on high voltage lines, the question whether the moon is larger or smaller than the nail of your thumb at the end of your extended arm, the proof that Peary did not reach the north pole, and much more. Many photographs and drawings have been added, the graphical presentation reworked and several hundred challenge solutions have been added. (Tell me which ones you want next!) For all fields of physics the newest research results and the main unanswered questions are presented. The text remains a structured walk through classical physics, relativity, quantum theory and unification. In total, the text aims to give an overview of what motion is and what it can effect. The accent on surprises and thought-provoking puzzles has been kept. It will please both readers who open the text at random and those who read it systematically. Thank you to everybody who has sent criticisms, corrections and suggestions. Enjoy!

P.S. In physics texts, figures take the biggest part of the budget - both in time and in money. Any help on (preferably colour postscript) images to be added to the text (with permission of course) is much appreciated. Such help will allow me to concentrate on the writing and make sure that the text can continue to be free for all readers throughout the world.
When you use Mac OS X, you feel like sodomy; when you use Windows, you feel as though you're using someone else's toys, and Mrs. Microsoft keeps peeking in on you.
Is this bit genuine ???
Trolling using another account since 2005.
Wherever you stand in the Macs vs. Windows debate, this much is certain: In Linux, Gentoo, RedHat, Mandrake etc... has taken an already sparkling, super-stable operating system and made it faster, better equipped and more secure.
You didn't read the Article. You didn't read the Article. You didn't read the Article. You read the AC post with some interesting additions, like Sodomy and Diarrhea.

I think we're seeing a new type of slashdot troll. Post the original article text with slight modifictions. Hopefully someone will mod down the post of the altered article text.
You think THAT was the statement that ruins the review?!? What about:
"When you use Mac OS X, you feel like sodomy; when you use Windows, you feel as though you're using someone else's toys, and Mrs. Microsoft keeps peeking in on you."
Wtf does THAT mean?!?
You didn't read the article.
You didn't read the article.
You didn't read the article.
You read an AC post that had the words Sodomy and Diarrhea added.
Somebody mod him up!
