No reason to believe it's fixed? How about multiple people telling you it is? Besides, how hard would it be to just give it a try yourself? I'm sure you can find someplace near you that has 10.4 installed. I suspect you don't want to, because that would hurt your argument.
As for "broken" - I think that's sort of a loaded term. It's true that in 10.3 and earlier there were issues with Finder windows (and the like) being slow to update. I have no idea what Apple did, but that particular issue has completely changed for the better in 10.4. Give it a try.
My point as to security was to mirror your "method" of ignoring improvements that have come out in recent years. Security in XP (as originally released) was atrocious. It's improved greatly since then. But if I purchased a machine with the original XP, by your logic, I could assume it hadn't improved. Not only that, but I could announce it to the world.
The main gist of my disagreement with you is that you're comparing an OS that won't be released for half a year (or more), with one that's been out of date for over a year. And yet you seem to think it's a valid comparison. Compare with 10.4 if you like (even though 10.5 may well be out by the time Vista is), but to compare with 10.3 is just silly.
I see, so it's ok to complain about an OS feature that's been fixed for over a year? Or think that software hasn't advanced from what came with your machine?
If that's the case, let me tell you about how sucky XP's security is...
Hmmm, are you sure you were looking in the right direction?
I live in Beaverton, and while I couldn't see the peak (hidden behind the West Hills), I could tell the plume was a _lot_ bigger than any of the others since it started up again.
Plus, from what I've heard, the dome is growing at the rate of a dump truck load each second (gotta be an order of magnitude more than a pickup truck). If it keeps up at this rate, then the new dome will be peeking above the rim within a few years.
That would be kind of a neat thing to see from downtown PDX...
What we should be concentrating on is technology to remove a storm from existance as soon as it begins to form.
I was wondering how long it would be until somebody suggested this.:-(
Aside from the fact that we'd be incredibly stupid to even try, we just couldn't even begin to have a significant impact on these storms. It's hard to believe how much energy they contain.
Also, the current Fortran version, Fortran 95, has a slightly matlab-like array language. ..
I just read a posting in comp.lang.fortran that the final candidate for Fortran 2003 standard has officially been accepted.
Presumably we'll be seeing complete F2003 compilers in a year or so. Many F95 compilers already contain many of the extensions that are now part of the F2003 standard.
Of course, I'm still trying to get spun up on many features new in F95. Which, by the way, I use for programming parallel atmospheric dynamics and cloud physics codes. . .
Whether you share their beliefs or not, you have to respect them.
Ummm. . . No. I live here. What you don't realize if you don't live in Utah, is that this place is among the most hypocritical places on earth.
Nearly any vice you can think of is pretty much just as prevalent here as anyplace else in the US. This place is all about appearances. You look a bit beneath the surface, and very little is different.
In addition, the legislature here has very little regard for what the people of this state actually want. That's what comes of Utah essentially having a one party system, and sheep as voters.
Of course, even having said all that, it's not a bad place to live. Just don't have a thin skin.

You're trolling. 10.3 isn't current, and hasn't been for some time. You're comparing an OS which is still in beta with one which is no longer sold.

Now, how do we get them to withdraw from the US market?
. . .maybe Microsoft should just ship their OS pre-infected.
Except you're wrong. It's already here:

Enjoy!

How is it smaller?
From what I've seen:
Carbon - 2.5 in x 0.6 in x 3.3 in = 4.95 in^3
iPod mini - 3.6 in x 0.5 in x 2.0 in = 3.6 in^3
The Carbon is nearly 40% larger!
