Because, after a decade and a half running Windows of various flavors and several years doing tech support (aka virus removal specialist) part time, I've learned that keeping a Windows system clean takes more than a bit of common sense in addition to time and (possibly) money. Now that I'm on OS X, I just need common sense. I'm not going to waste any time or money on this "problem" until I hear of thousands of other Mac boxes going down in flames. When these dead canaries start being reported, I'll start paying attention.

These lawsuits have nothing to do with making money for the RIAA corps. They probably plan to lose money in this effort. Their intent is to instill fear in the masses to discourage them from even think of copying RIAA content in any fashion whatsoever. It's a scare tactic plain and simple.
If he's high enough in the food chain, that would suck. I've been in jobs where bonuses etc... were multiples of base salary. In his case, that might mean a 75% cut in his annual compensation.

A little bit cheesy, but nicely displayed...
It's not like this is a new idea...
Rhetorical question.
Love-15.
Wonder what they'll do when some joker with facial scars drops in?
I don't know about any test, but I've ended inexplicably on the NJ turnpike more than once.
But that was when I lived in NJ, so it's not as farfetched as it might at first sound.
Is 2009 going to be the Year of Mass OS X Infestation or the Year of the Linux Desktop?
That latter is more likely.
Even DNF is even more likely.

Heh, heh. Phrase-of-the-day, for sure.
Microsoft has put out some good hardware over the years. They must surely own some patents that cover this stuff.

Obviously.

I'll stick with sccs.
Now get off my lawn!
I love the steering wheel on that thing.
'biscuit123'? I think you meant 'cookie123'.
"For, the, love, of, God, man, use, a, comma!"
Fix't.
If they bring it back they need to make it Black.
I, for one, am offending by your disparaging remarks about hyenas. The are far more respectable company than the RIAA and its litigators.
Good luck, NYCL...
And I think we can all agree that a little more lithium in our environment would make for a calmer, happier world.
I built out a system a couple of years ago and got almost everything at zipzoomfly.
I'm building out a system now and getting almost everything from NewEgg.
NewEgg has slightly better prices and appear to have a broader selection, but if I had to pay sales tax I'd be using zipzoomfly instead of NewEgg.

I thought we were trying to keep religion out of this....
Does it run OS X.
He blinded me with science about the whole Flat Earth bit. He was very hyperactive about it back in the day.
It also has a black JFK. What's not to like about this movie?
