No no no - I'm not talking about themes - the only one that could really make non-OS X unix look like OS X (Baghira) is slowing the damn box down so badly that I never used it for more than one hour continuously. BTW Macs are not so popular in Poland where I live, so I never had an opportunity to try out the "real" Mac OS.
What I've found convenient is the top menu bar and a simple panel with launchers etc in the upper left corner, both setups were just/inspired/ by OS X.
I'm not using OS X but my KDE is trying to resemble it, so let's say I have a menu bar at the top and a dock-like panel which I can move around.
My settings for the panel are: vertical, autohide, aligned to the upper-left corner, appears only when the mouse cursor moves to that corner, disappears immediately when the cursor goes off. And it's kinda perfect. I used to change my window manager to something new twice each week, and I think I already tried everything but what I could eventually code by myself, but this setup is *very* comfortable at the moment, and I haven't changed it for at least a month, which is a success:D Upper left corner of the screen seems to be the easiest place to access, dunno why. I think I'll continue my research now...
I have this feeling man, 'cause you know, it's just a handful of people who run everything, you know that's true, it's provable. It's not I'm not a fucking conspiracy nut, it's provable. A handful, a very small elite, run and own these corporations, which include the mainstream media. I have this feeling that whoever is elected president, like Clinton was, no matter what you promise on the campaign trail blah, blah, blah when you win, you go into this smoke-filled room with the twelve industrialist capitalist scum-fucks who got you in there. And you're in this smoky room, and this little film screen comes down and a big guy with a cigar goes, "Roll the film." And it's a shot of the Kennedy assassination from an angle you've never seen before that looks suspiciously like it's from the grassy knoll. And then the screen goes up and the lights come up, and they go to the new president, "Any questions?" "Er, just what my agenda is." "First we bomb Baghdad." "You got it "

O RLY!?
Try writing an OS kernel and NOT including drivers for keyboard or VGA, and see how it works.
Microsoft often waits to patch these kinds of vulnerabilities until they've taken care of more important things, like critical bugs, and sometimes chooses to roll them up into a service pack. This allows for more thorough testing and decreases the chance that the minor fix causes a major regression issue.
Then... I just wonder. Why virtually no linux distro is using things like SPs and still virtually all of them remain much more secure and stable than any Windows version ever was?...
afaik the problem with ZFS under linux is not ZFS not being GPL, but software patents that Sun is holding on ZFS. The only (free) way to use ZFS and not infringe any patents is through Sun's license, but I might be wrong...

Exactly, and where's all that "think for yourself"?

There's no 'right' or 'wrong', there's only the opinion of the most.
lol. Half an hour ago I ran crashme on my 2.6.18 debian box.
And guess what? It crashed.

Nope, I'm in Poland. They just had some free shell accounts to give away :P Moving to Switzerland... Not a bad idea... Hmmm... Thanks!
I felt kinda safe from stupid law here, in the EU. It seems that all this world is fubar.
So, they're basically outlawing privacy?
I just thought I'd check it out by myself,

Who isn't copying these days? It's too difficult to be innovative, really.

Generic driver == no driver?
