So far, this trojan has demonstrated that Mac's are extremely secure. The trojan is not spreading. It next to impossible to spread a worm when the potential hosts make up such a small percentage of the total population.
Compare that with the Storm Worm. When OSX and Windows have a roughly equal installed base, a comparison can be made.
Its absolutely pathetic when a satirist making a parody of the election process process has more credibility than the average 'legitimate' candidate. And as amazing was the fact that certain people were taking his "election bid" seriously.
Also I love that you posted your message as yourself. Thanks. I meant it as more of a joke than a flame.
I don't think any of the thread should have been modded down. The poor GP got slapped down into oblivion by the Apple/Linux fanboi brigade for simply stating his preference for the Wintel platform.
All I see are a bunch of opinions in the thread, and I don't think opinions should be suppressed via moderation.
Much better GUI, On a server?
it is vetted as official UNIX while Linux is not Who cares?
and enterprise customers may have more faith in Apple as opposed to a much smaller company like RedHat to be able to support a massive service agreement. That statement makes no sense to me. Why would people have more faith in Apple, who has dropped the ball on (or purposely ignored) enterprise support for it's entire lifetime, over a company like Redhat who has been doing enterprise Linux for it's entire lifetime?
Furthermore Apple is also beginning to come out with integrated, enterprise level software. That makes Apple a more integrated enterprise solution going forward than Linux is. If Apple is just beginning to come out with integrated, enterprise level software, that puts them about 10-15 years behind the competition.
Yes, I said CPU when I meant computer. I know that. And I said FTE, which is what Microsoft charges us by. Perhaps you have a different academic licensing scheme that goes by number of computers.
The difference is that SQL server licenses per machine while oracle licenses per core SQL server is not licensed by computer. It is licensed either by the 'CAL' model, or by physical CPU (not core). Typically would go the CAL route for development systems where only a few people will be connecting as it is much cheaper. On live systems where there will be hundreds of connections, it is appropriate to go the per CPU route.
I've got to respectfully disagree. Your original post is overrated, flamebait, a troll and funny (in the way ignorance generally is). With all due respect, you are being a prick.
I laugh the same way at golfers who call their game a 'sport' You should try walking 18 holes (which comes out to about 6-7 miles) and swinging a golf club 100+ times on the way.
You've apparently never taken law. Duh. Didn't you see my sig?
When you buy something you own it. The problem with your point is that steam is technically a service, not a tangible good.
All the stupid EULA tricks that are being tried with software were tried a hundred years ago with books. A (supposed) law student had already posted in those story that there are at least four precedents that have confirmed the validity of EULAs, so what exactly are you saying Valve is doing wrong?
But is it still their game after it has been purchased? I don't see why not. It's not like you obtain any kind of ownership of the game when you purchase it. You are only purchasing the (revokeable by them I'm sure) right to use their software under the terms that Valve sets.
I find it interesting that this isn't taken up as a discrimination issue. I never thought about it that way, but I have a hard time equating "You can't use our service that was meant to only be sold to people in other markets" to , "You can't use our service because of your skin color." The motivations behyind the first are monetary gain, while the motivations for the second are hate/ignorance.
This kind of practice is common in all kinds of industries. An example I can think of is sports on TV, where "Blackout restrictions" keep certain people from watching events.
This morning our UPS went haywire and sent a power surge which destroyed four of our five blade servers. Because the virtual machine's hard drives and configs were stored on the SAN we were able to bring back 40+ servers on the remaining blade within two hours.
We're on line power for now, and only have one blade, but we're up. If this had happened before our move to virtualization, we would still be down and my weekend would be shot.
So you could say OSx has more connection to Windows than it ever could to Linux (since so many Windows programs are under the BSD license. There are about three or four minor network utilities in Windows that are derived from BSD. I would bet Linux has far more BSD code in it than Winodws.
Slashdot Mirror
So where does Linux losing market share to Windows fit into that formula?
Hunter Kressel has been warning people about this for years now.
He installed a device into his head which functions as an alarm. It allows him to have an alarm without the need for an external device.
As to why it's going off....maybe he put AM instead of PM?
Time shifting != archiving
I never advocated 'security by obscurity'.
Were you replying my post?
I never claimed that this worm demonstrated any weakness in OS X. Just that the worm not spreading does nothing to demonstrate the security of OS X.

That article you linked to is utter crap.
The last time I checked, Microsoft charges per FTE, not per CPU, so the number of "CPUs" had nothing to do with the cost of the licenses.

VirtuaWin kicks ass. Have you tried that one?
I learned about it from a Slashdot post, so maybe I can return the favor.
Well it benefited us this morning.

OK. What the hell does Quantium Field Theory have to do with AOL?!
...considering the country that Comcast operates in, I'd say the possibility of a lawsuit is pretty close to 1.
Like what? ping ftp finger and telnet?
It's nice that Apple will be stepping out of the Nazi-era with Leopard.
(yeah, yeah...Godwin...I lose.)
