I imagine most of these exploits would be detected by Anti Virus software. So, all I am saying is how do you know for sure someone hasn't pwn3d your Mac if you aren't watching?
This is a perfect example of how Apple has brainwashed it's user base.
First of all you are absolutely incorrect by saying there are no Mac OS X viruses out there. Secondly there are a lot of tools that get planted on ALL systems that Anti-Virus can detect. For example:
netcat rootkits sniffers keystroke loggers irc bots the list goes on and on
Mac OS X is susceptible to attack and ignoring that isn't going to help your security posture. I have witnessed NUMEROUS occasions FIRST HAND that Mac systems can be used by unauthorized people and often they will plant some kind of software that Anti Virus will detect. If those people had AV installed they would have known about the intrusion fairly quick but instead the intrusion went undetected for 6 Months! I did forensics on the machine so I know this for a fact. So, just go ahead and bury your head back in the sand.
Security by obscurity IS NOT SECURITY. The only way to protect yourself is by using multiple layers of protection.
This is a really interesting situation. There has always been smugness with the Mac community about OS X and getting pwn3d. The guys at Apple are mostly to blame for this. Instead of Apple telling it's minions that yes in fact there is a threat to users of the Mac OS X system (as in every operating system) so you should add layers of security to protect yourself. I have to admit the Mac OS X system seems to be one of the more secure platforms and that is great. But Apple is setting it's users up for failure.
I work in an office that handles computer security for a large network and have noticed that users tend to not install Anti-Virus software on their Mac systems. Apple has made them think they are superman or something. This will end up being a big mistake. Social engineering is one of the biggest attack vectors right now for malware so this new Trojan falls right into a nice comfy spot. And since Apple is making their users think they are made of Kryptonite it is likely that social engineering will work better on Mac users. As more evil doers create more variants of this type of Trojan they will use different methods to get users to open the file and install it. If you don't have AV installed how are you supposed to know that something evil is on your system? Your average Mac user won't have a clue.
This could in fact be a turning point if more malware is written for the Mac. Right now the biggest target is Windows and it is social engineering (not vulnerabilities) that is the most successful. It would be 'due diligence' to install Anti Virus!
Maybe one day the Nigerian government will actually start cracking down on these scammers. I don't know very many people on earth that would not be turned off by the word Nigeria. It must be VERY hard for that country to conduct business. I can see the look on the person's face that first viewed their computer order.
It is also soluble in alcohol. Alcohol is actually used to extract the capsaicin from the peppers to make pepper extract so I imagine if you take a swig of liquor and swash it around in your mouth it should help a bit (in more ways than one!).
"As all hot pepper eaters should know, it's not the heat in the pepper, it's the juice".
Actually this is not true. It is the Capsicain Oil that makes a pepper hot and not the 'juice' (which I take it you mean the watery part of a pepper). The saying that 'hurts going in hurts going out' (referring to going poopy) is pretty much true. But if you eat as much pepper extract as I do it hurts when you pee as well. I admit I take it to the extreme. I use Mad Dog 357 Collector's edition sauce with a 650,000 scoville rating at least 2 or 3 days a week (all meals for those days) and often poor WAY too much in it and think to myself..what the fuck did i just do?! However, even after the wonderfull pain I end up adding even more.
1 lb of hamburger meat 1.5 packets of Ortega Taco seasoning.5 packet of fajita seasoning 1 full teaspoon of Mad Dog 357 Collector's edition
Cook, eat and get ready for some insane heat and one of the most painful tinkles you ever dreamed of. =) Damn I love it HOT!!!
If a Jalapeno hurts you then you better not eat a 'hot' pepper. On the Scoville scale a Jalapeno is only about 5000 scoville units. A Cayenne is about 30,000. A Habanero is rougly 350,000. And the new record holder is the Naga Jookla at around 1,000,000. Go eat a Naga and see how you feel afterwards, wimp.:)
Why on earth do they have such a huge problem with people trying to install their OS on other types of hardware? Wouldn't they be better off if their software was released and 'encouraged' people to install it on PCs? I would imagine they could take a fairly big bite out of Microsoft if they did that. The way their brain works is just plain weird. Seems Apple is run almost like a brainwashed cult or something.
Anyone know of any companies that make revenue by selling products or services that are transferred via BitTorrent? If so maybe they should file a lawsuit against Comcast to recover damages. I went back and forth from Comcast to Verizon and then tried Cavtel for a while. I'm currently using Comcast but am going to leave them and go back to Cavtel. I do not want anyone screwing around with my packets.
What is really funny is those humans that believe god created humans 10,000 years ago and also believe the solar system is several billion years old. One of those situations where religious people pick and choose which reality they want to be in at which time.
If a man drops to his knees and begins to pray to the invisible man in the sky he is religuous. However if he turns to his left and talks to the invisible man in the wall he is crazy.

Were probably not compatible with Linux.

btw, "busy signal" = TCP-RESET
Is Comcast examining the contents of packets? Sounds like a privacy issure to me.

Crap, that means the RIAA could win trillions or gazillions of dollars. Jammie only had 24 files.
