i think someone has lied to you. Root is disabled on a mac (ubuntu copied this) you need to sudo to do things. You really are never "Admin" you have to enter your password insudo to get the viruses to actually do anything.
yeah and they usually require you to enter your admin password. There is nothing like the insanity we see on windows. I think that is the point that they are trying to make here.
"Mac OS X was designed with security in mind. Windows just wasnt built to bear the onslaught of attacks it suffers every day. A Mac offers a built-in firewall, doesnt advertise its existence on the Net, and isnt compromised within an hour of being turned on. "
hahaha. now we know where those studies are put to use.
"Indeed, the Mac offers none of the sense of accomplishment that comes from chasing down drivers, configuring your kernel, tweaking your system to show your Aw3s0m3 1337 Linux mastery."
Actually, you can do that and more if you REALLY wanted to. Darwin is open source. feel like recompiling your micro kernel (why??) go right ahead.
we are talking about filesystem compatibility on OSX. Anyone who has looked into it knows the problems with certian OSX software and UFS. My only mistake was assuming there were more people who actually know what they are talking about. Only on slashdot can I get moderated framebait for reiterating something stated as fact in the software's own manual.
UNIX File System is not supported Windows Media Player for Mac OS X does not support the UNIX File System (UFS). Install the Player on a Mac OS Extended (HFS+) volume only. HFS+ is the default file system format for Mac OS X.
" For much of Palestinian history he was the country's biggest political figure"
Considering palestine has never been a country he must not have been much of a leader. The west bank was part of jordan before israel invaded (you wont read that in the media) and "Palestinians" are just ordinary arabs.
No, he/she is not a nutjob. Even the BBC's internal investigations have acknowledged that there is some left wing bias mostly in the form of anti-ameican and anti-semetic bias at the BBC. Read this article if you want to see an example of one such investigation.
if you dont feel like clicking the link, here is he meat: THE BBC Governors have upheld a complaint against a radio reporter who wept as dying Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat departed the West Bank. The corporation's head of editorial complaints initially cleared From Our Own Correspondent journalist Barbara Plett of bias.But a listener appealed and yesterday the Governors' Programme Complaints Committee overturned that ruling
Apple has been doing this with batteries for years. If you have old batteries from apple products, just take them to the apple store and they will take them off your hands for you. This is a much better option than sending it to a landfill.
this is not really the second title to have the kingdom hearts name as you own artile points out there is a game in between called kingdom hearts: chain of memories
almost every major phone syncs with OSX using isync pretty much out of the box. You even get a little picture in isync that looks like your phone. This is nothing new and has been in OSX for years. Linux on the other hand probably works somewhat with a hodgepodge of software.
IE7 has been removed from the explorer shell and actually functions like a normal application again. In otherwords it took 10 years to go back to the win 95 model.
