    Don't be rediculous, Microsoft Office for the Mac, Adobe, and a whole slew of other products have been around for years. If virus makers thought a Mac virus would be effective, they would have targeted it.

    So it can't take over the whole machine, only your personal files.

    Mac users have had an easy time of it to now, and that's only becuase the market share has been so low. If you're trying to tell me that the reason was becase the technology was so scarry superior to windows or linux I think you're in for a rude awakening.

    But in Apple's defense, the permissions structure of Macs are inherently different than on a Windows machine.

    So? You still write a virius for it, you just have to find the weak spot. There have been virii for Unix-ish machines too,

    On a typical day TSA finds 4 guns and various assorted weapons that would have made it onto a plane if people weren't being screened.

    Which the normal procedures were finding anyway, well before the TSA was even a gleam in Washingon DC's eye. The TSA had added NO VALUE since its inception, only added more bureacracy and sieved more tax money.

    One thing I've noticed about people on the left is they almost to a man have some irrational but deep seated belief that anyone who doesn't agree with them is from another planet or something, and seem to take great offense if you disagree with them.

This is a fluff peice, I figure the legislature is putting off the really tough issues, laike any other leg. This is a stupid, useless, do-nothing fluff law.

  24. Re:Number of actual terrorists blocked by TSA on TSA Shuts Down Airport, Detains 11 After "Science Project" Found · · Score: 1

    Here's my problem; the TSA, like any government solution to any (ANY) problem, is with a topdown, umbrella, throw money at it, approach. The obvious framework of their plan is: "We're too stupid and politically correct to do creening right, so we'll make everyone suffer." All a real terrorist (with any brains) has to do is observe it for a while, and make a minor test here and there, then with some planning I'm quite confident they could find a way to bring down a plane, if that were a goal. All the groping of passengers, even those who paid the indulgence, won't stop some one bent on blowing one up, they only have to be a little clever. I don't think it would take a rocket scientist to get passed the TSA charade. I think in one way the TSA may have been successful. If I had any terrorist designs on the US I think I'd pass-up blowing up a plane or crashing one (or several) into landmarks simply becuase of all the attention, the one thing that the TSA may be able to notch on its belt. So as a terrorist I might be inclined to go another route. Another truck bomb, and "disinfranchised" home grown terrorists. In which case the TSA is completly meaningless.

    One thing we can all count on; even though al Quaida has been been beaten to an inneffective pulp, and the Talibahn are negotiating, the TSA is here to stay in all its bloated, useless glory.
