By MAC, are you referring to the privilege separation of Mandatory Access Control, Ethernet's Medium Access Control (aka "hardware address"), or something else?
The article was referring to Macintosh (or Mac) issues, and I'm wondering why you're capitalizing the word.

Congratulations, you've figured out that when you post flamebait it will be moderated as such.

For a novel experiment, try posting something insightful or informative and see what happens!

MAC: Recursive acronym for the mental disorder "MAC Always Capitalized". Annoying, but not dangerous.

As already noted, Linux, *BSD, etc are already well covered on Slashdot. As far as Windows, have YOU ever tried keeping up with their updates/patches? Dear God...

It's too bad there aren't other ways to make words stand out besides incorrectly capitalizing tHeM.

After using Mac OS X for four years I couldn't help but laugh at this troll. Only a windows user would think the problems listed are even remotely plausible.
