What you are saying is not provable. This is because viruses don't have to give off signs you've got it... that is, in fact, the whole point behind virus protection. Tell me what's better.... being under the impression that your OS can't get a virus while having one and not knowing your OS can indeed get a virus, get a virus, find out you've got it, and then get it fixed. I never said you said "Mac is invulnerable". What I will say is the Mac has had viruses, they have been added to the Xprotext plist (which is NOT mentioned in the link you gave, go figure) and the Mac will get more viruses in the future. That's something to anticipate and count on rather than sit back in a false state of comfort.
Ok so you're saying Macs don't get viruses... but they get trojans just fine? You know I'm pretty sure I want my virus protection to catch trojans also.... lucky for me most good virus protection does. I don't care if it's a virus, torjan, spyware, potato or tomato.... if it's not supposed to be there it should not be there.... kind of like location tracking data... it's not a virus but I'd rather it not be on my system either.
"Mac OS X doesn’t get PC viruses. And its built-in defenses help keep you safe from other malware without the hassle of constant alerts and sweeps."
*Doesn't get viruses as in it doesn't get *PC* viruess - it gets Mac viruses.
*Constant alerts and sweeps in that it sweeps them under the xprotect rug. Is there anywhere in the mac to scan manually? No. Because mac don't need virus protection right?
I like / have Macs but I'm not blind to the fact it's just more code on x64 that can be exploited just the same. Don't even try to convince me they don't try the we don't get viruses sales pitch... the url you pointed to and this article is proof enough.
Little know that OS X comes wit built in virus protect with the Xprotect.plist... Not advertised because Apple want to keep the impression that Mac's don't get infected.
...and napster didn't pirate copyrighted mp3s. So if you don track you don't need... so take it off the device because your wasting storage space. Seriously you don't have to track.... that's because the people you let access it do. Do you get paid for that? Let me guess... it's a "Service".
But could they have been any worse? I always loved the way I hacked around for weeks trying to get 3D working after the drivers finally installed correctly and were apparently working correctly... all but 3D... and then to find out on some obscure link on google that the driver did not support it... but no mention to be found on ATI's site. But now that they are opensource these things can change! (Or at least be fscking documented correctly)
But they're not really your ideas are they? I mean, unless you invented the religion chances are you've just have a "time share" on your beliefs.... and I hate timeshares.
The trailer made the movie look like it had much more tension in the plot... but no world ending weapons hosted by intellectually superior aliens. Instead you had a bunch of cat food eating over sized crickets that were stupid... oh and the way the aliens and humans talked so easily... again stupid. The star actor was a complete idiot the entire movie. Let me chop of my finger to stop the spreading... ok right. What part of this movie was great exactly? It was like Independence Day after the stars took a few bong hits.
The real problem I've found is not only do these companies blatantly deny your privacy with a credit check but those same people who do it *believe* that the credit system is unflawed and is somehow a perfect reflection of your habits. Quite disturbing.
There at least a few SAS drives on the market that use hardware encryption baked right in to the drive's on-board controller. Probably faster too but more expensive.
My nick name "Thaidog" used to be number one on google and it went to my personal page. Since I'm neither Thai nor Thaidog I wonder how that comes across there.
My best friend is a senior developer at Bcom for embedded systems so I get quite an earful about his kernel code. They are using basically the latest Linux 2.6 kernel for various embedded cpus (2.6.21 on PPC, ARM, MIPS cores) He was talking about one of his layer 3 switches that runs one process with 300 threads and still runs like a champ with 2.6. Also, the Atom is not an embedded cpu (per say) and it runs XP fine while even doing video editing on netbooks so I think you'll be just fine with a slightly bulkier kernel. Also, the Atom has HT and 2.6 has much better smp support than 2.4. I would go with the Gentoo advice posted earlier and that way you can transition good and also account for the future when you have to port this thing all over again. Who knows where 2.4 will be at that point.
OSes like BeOS and Zeta are ahead of their time. With 8 core cpus coming out soon it just makes since with this technology... no programming tricks are needed.
...but all my bosses have been integrators. Try getting paid like you should as a segmentor with a boss that's a integrator. You just won't. Word to the wise.

Damn that's ironic.

Your customers are not asking about it because they assumed you've handled that.
But they're not really your ideas are they? I mean, unless you invented the religion chances are you've just have a "time share" on your beliefs.... and I hate timeshares.
Pretty sure I'd lose my job for posting this kind of stuff on slashdot....
When a hard drive died on one of the servers at my startup... According to management that was definitely the biggest of 2009.
So don't release it. Pretty straight forward if you ask me.
Port knocking is a good way to conceal that ssh is available. Use fwknop!

Somebody mod this as insightful.
The same problem is inherent in all major IT corporations I've worked for unfortunately. Here's hoping Red Hat figures that out in time.
No wait that's IBM.

I think it's at least worth trying such an implementation. Ok... now bring on the "It Windows again" haters...
OSes like BeOS and Zeta are ahead of their time. With 8 core cpus coming out soon it just makes since with this technology... no programming tricks are needed.
Yep sure did. Including my job to cheap out sourced labor at $16hr to people who know absolutely nothing about computers. Thanks IBM... morons.
