Its just lack of popularity of OS X among these worm/virus writing lamers.
Yep. I think I implied that with the "envitable" comment. I have also said twice before I was joking. Sorry. I hope the Linux users dont have you too riled.
No argument here. But we were talking about a virus. Apple is not releasing patches because it has been attacked, but rather because they (or someone) are testing and debugging their own work.
It's quite a differnt circumstance than running around the planet trying to reboot crashed machines or prevent an immediate threat from crashing your machines.
Are Apples perfect, of course not. It was just a joke... Someday someone will feel the need to write an Apple virus. Its envitable.
BS. Apple started the personal computer trend with the AppleI and followed with the Apple II. Business were using DOS and spreadsheets. There were IBMs, Tandys, etc.
And excuse me, the Amiga, of all the computers was probably least the toy.
As for the comparision to Columbus, note it was the spaniards that brough the deadly viruses to the the new world* - Just like Windows.
*Including syphillis. (Untrue history that the new world had deadly syphillis - see Nova/PBS tv).
Apple is a HARDWARE vendor. Its as if Dell and Microsoft were one company. Apple is not making all this money selling iTunes software, its selling iPods, hardware. The software is the gimmee to buy the hardware. Its mostly free.
Porting the OS to PC for cloning would wreck Apple. As it was wrecking Apple in the mid 90s.
These fools keep trying to sell the business model of 1980. Its 2005! Its been 25 years. Come up with a new freakin idea. The only reason why it worked for MS is they got in first. Look around, is selling an OS helping any other company to surpass Microsoft? And if this plan is so great, how come MS hasn't ported itself to work on Apple hardware?
But all you have to do is change your routine radically. Or even more devious, establish a false routine and false sense of "everythings ok" and then break the routine and commit an act of terrorism or something...
I am OK with requesting of the raw data because tax payer dollars are being sent or not spent based on these findings.
The personal financial information is wrong. Unless they are looking for personal interest spending on the data... Hippies are just as crooked as Herberts.
Not only do new computers strain the environment, but old computers need to be disposed of. It costs a great deal more than $400 to make a new computer, make the old computer, and dispose of the old computer.
But what to you expect from the NY Times? Shortsighted and made up is their motto.
An owner knows as much about people who are overhearing his music as he does people who are tapping into his wifi. He left the wifi unprotected intentionally, just like music playing out the window.
Now if I had hacked into his wifi, thats a different story.
What BS. Its not my fault someone is broadcasting something I find useful. The broadcaster (wifi, music) is the party responsible.
Now if only I can find away to sue the city for the constuction noise they have no right to broadcast.
The point is that, if they havent already, these laws are going to venture into fair use arena. Of course piracy is wrong, but just because the RIAA or MPAA dont like something, doesnt mean it hurts their business, nor that it is illegal. Is everything authorized until unathorized, or unathorized until authorized?

All employers have employees who hate the company and or boss.
I've been telling you for the last 20 years, Apple is about to go bankrupt and collapse.
Anyone could charge a penny online, but either the fees would be an outrageous percentage or the service would not make any money.
Who knows what it will be like 100 yrs from now. Especially if we change our behavior, that is if we are the major cause of this.
Years ago I had to have an AOL account for work. When I tried to canel same thing. THey have been doing this for at least 15 years.

Oh please. It was joke. No need to strangle your undies.
Still doesnt beat ANY Apple OS with or without patches :P
What virus?

We should send these 10% of servers to Mars in place of the 10% of astronauts who will get solar radiation cancer.
Seems like more than 10% would die of cancer if they stayed here on Earth.

If I had employees, I would shut down HTTP from 9-11:30AM and 1- 5PM. I waste about 10-14 hours a week of 9-5, m-f business hours.
Thanks for the rational thought!
you guys posted this topic a day or so ago.

I disagree. Ears are the tool that listen to and translate the music to useful information to the brain.
A wifi card is the ear that listens to the signal and translates if into to useful information to the brain.
Is it stealing to listen to someone else's copyrighted music? Not that I know of.
A wifi signal floating through the air is no differnt than a sound wave floating through the air.
If the user doesnt want you to listen to the music, they can close the window or takes some means to protect it. Same with a wifi signal.
Otherwise, I can claim that you are stealing my bandwith by replying to my comments and clogging up the email pipes and my harddisk.
Listening to someone's loud music blaring out their window...
