A Consumer Reports survey last year found that virus infection rates on Macs are half what they are on Windows, noted Smith. "Is that because Macs are safer? I think the answer is yeah."
This person obviously doesn't understand worms and viruses very well. Hackers want to see how many computers they can infect. This being the case, what kind of idiot hacker would create a worm/virus for the Mac platform? They are not very prevalent in the market and therefore would not be a target for hackers. Maybe if enough hosers who think Macs are more secure, go out and buy one, then those of us who stick with PC will have less worms/viruses to worry about.
I agree that anti-aliasing works very well under gentoo which generally has the bleeding edge newest packages. I always thought fonts sucked under linux but that was when I was still stuck in Red Hat. Once I found the light (Gentoo) everything was better. Just MHO. My advice for people who want nicer display, Red Hat 8 has a proprietary desktop environment now called "Bluecurve", but for the more adventurous here, you must try Gentoo and set up AA. I even imported all my windoze fonts and they work great.
"all those years in jail, and post-jail constraints, were surely well-deserved."
Actually not, he was held in an unconstitutional manner and slandered by the media who turned the whole thing into a fantastic frenzy. I doubt you would like it if the government put you away and threw away the key, denying you your rights, for something like jay-walking.

The title says "College Compus" but should be "College Campus" This isn't that important but I figured someone will wanna correct this.
