All virus writers aren't there to get in and steal things. If you read some virus write interviews, they do it to let people know their skill and let it spread more.
Now, why would those guys write a virus even if they infect all of one OS, it's just like few % of another OS? No backup of saying Mac OS X has been immune, time will tell when Mac OS X gain more share and virus writer think about going on it. Which I doubt Apple guys are that good that their OS shipped without serious security hole to poke at since day one.
Wow, when it comes to MS, they always use term like 'crippled' for turning something off for easier use for some people.
Look at Mac OS X, the entire firewall is turned off by DEFAULT. Now, let's see how they come up with subject when they tell story about this. Oh wait, the Mac OS is a holy product they don't want to show the bad part of it, and never make it a story.
Seriously, what average user would even dig the system settings under Sharing in the second tab to realize their firewall is actually off? At least as far as I can tell, MS turn it ON for those people...
Just show what's so perfect about your environment and show the benefit, cost ratio compared to what it is now, and do they drop the benefit just because it's got a monkey in the name? but can save them quite some $$$ if that's the case?
Seriously, if your boss drops the name over the benefit, change your job or your boss.
Happy mind of always Mac winning over Windows, but seriously, if you already realize you don't need Windows, then there's always been Linux in the at least last 5 years to average users.
But then again, mostly because of MS Office and other work softwares, they are kept on Windows whether they like Windows or not.
It does sound prejudice going Windows sucks all day and Mac is the superior. For me, I still like Windows over Mac for various reasons, and I don't even use MS Office.
I for one wonder which average users would just ditch Windows, just because Mac OS X is the new entry in the end user OS market and might have a niftier GUI. They have to relearn all the little controls to manage the OS and have to find the alternative softwares from scratch not to mention spend some cash.
From a really narrow point of view, you can say Mac OS X has many of the feature Linux has, when you ONLY talk something about some desktop apps. Great for you, but then again there are people like software developers be it web or not, that wants to check things out if things work in various environments. Not only that, there are many applications of one's favourite only running on one particular platform and may want to use it from time to time. Hell, I'd even put triple boot just to check out how Linux is maturing while using other two OS as main daily OS.
So... let's get it straight, everyone aren't average joe who only cares about how to use email and browser on his comp and cheers Apple while hating MS.
These guys are so briliant when it comes to something about Apple or Mac OS X. "It's your fault, look it has beta tag on! geez, read the instruction, you just didn't read it. Apple is doing the right thing."
When something happens to MS product "omfg, it's MS again, geez I hate MS, Linux rocks. IE sucks."
Since 'WHEN' does 'EVERYBODY' love Apple? This is such a flame topic...
It's even stupid to read the article from a stupid headline. Give a decent topic next time.
I for one, in terms of GUI usability and feature completeness, I take Windows than Mac OS X. Mac OS X server is a half joke product and now I don't love Apple at all. So, what is this about???
Then he better come up with some better business solution than keep BSD license and keep begging money, because apparently 'asking' business model doesn't work.
Doing a great free product doesn't make them special. He has to go the way of getting money by business just like ANYONE on earth. That's what some open source guys gets wrong. They are nothing special period. If you need money, do the required process.
> tension between the OpenBSD team and other businesses that some feel are taking advantage of the free software without giving anything back
Since when are people who use OpenBSD without giving anything back has to get some tension from the developers? It sounds like now it's a payware. I'm not against a payware, just that if you have to give tension to people without giving code or money back, then really, make it payware or respect the BSD license.
I for one thank all the great work done on OpenBSD project, but if they need money, they should establish some way of making money than just gazing at the people who use by the license and expect something in return as that's the rule.
I mean, world isn't that easy to get money by waiting and expecting people to pay. OpenBSD is not something special. To make money, you do something about it.
In the end, same people are making OpenBSD and OpenSSH, just because you like OpenSSH more doesn't mean, they want to separate the projects. You're just using part of the product a group of people made, just because you don't like the other half, you don't just give shit to it...
Think that you want to support those people, then donating to OpenBSD still does help OpenSSH. If you don't like it, there's still option for commercial ssh where you can directly 'buy' and give money to them.
'I expect something in return for the money I donate ' Sure you do, but this is more of a hobby project, they don't have any insurance that things keep moving on. We use it, because it did in the past times and think it'll probably does good job for times to come. It's not a 'buy', it's a 'donate'.
About time getting tired of hearing people say 'Mac OS X is more secure, Windows are wrecked' As soon as more eyes go into looking at security holes, wow, truth revealed.
Although I wouldn't store codes that don't want to be read by someone else over to someone else's server over plain text protocol.
I just, like you, tar bz2 it up and store them under project folder with project name. Of course, for availability, there's always SCP and putting backup on another server of your own will keep it there in safe, although you need to tighten up your server, otherwise it has more break in possibility than putting on Gmail...but this is just general stuff to do with any server you own.
Just so typical about slashdot, but when it is Firefox when it has a problem, people post how to fix repetitively, but never tell people to switch to other browsers, but when it is about IE when it does this sort of thing, people repetitively tell people to just throw IE out the window and use Firefox.

"omfg, it's MS again, geez I hate MS, Linux rocks. IE sucks."
Yeah, right...
They break -> provide support -> get more money
So... it's not unnatural for a company.
very off topic but, recent tools comes with dvd backup that can be done by splitting files under 2GB.
But yet, if it reduces the common part to be in 1 code, then it does the job well.
The only decent thing said in the article is right below the big 'darknet.org.uk' logo.
I totally agree about that.

Companies like people who believe in them whatever it is.
They drop money to them at any given time, company keeps going.
> Unless you've programmed a totally secure operating system, keep your mouth shut.
why to keep mouth shut in a public discussion place, what is this place about?
And seems you made one totally secure os, what is it?
>mythtv
one of the toughest thing to run in open source apps.
not to mention just to let the capture device recognized by linux is a pain.
buy - plug it - install - run - work
sounds a better solution to me and to average guys.
> will definitely be upgrading to a Macbook Pro in the near future
Apple loves people like you.
About time getting tired of hearing people say 'Mac OS X is more secure, Windows are wrecked'
As soon as more eyes go into looking at security holes, wow, truth revealed.
Still could mean "you're exiting out of your files", but then again "File" category is used to put any base/misc functions softwares offer...
You should hesitate as soon as your friends wants to use multilingual environments. Ascii charactor only and it probably works as intended.

Apparently, the JSON web lacks any good explanation what it's good for, how to use it and where to find other information. Just too bad.
Lack of any real example puts me away, or are they silently suggesting me to go google myself?
Just so typical about slashdot, but when it is Firefox when it has a problem, people post how to fix repetitively, but never tell people to switch to other browsers, but when it is about IE when it does this sort of thing, people repetitively tell people to just throw IE out the window and use Firefox.
I don't know when people learn how to speak fair.
Though still Safari scrolls pages smoother and overall easier to use.
I've tried every gecko browser for Mac OS X, still came back to Safari.
