Most point to point fiber connections have 2-10 ms latency. That's a slow LAN, but hellagood WAN latency, especially if you're coming from a DSL/T1 world. Generally an order of magnitude faster.
Simple. All the users need to READ & EXECUTE files in the Library. Look what's in there. Or better yet, try setting it to 770 or 750 and login as a regular user. I'm not sure you even could log in.
It's also root:admin as owner:group for the folder. Thus you need to be at least in the admin group to affect any change in the Library folder. You don't think the admin group should be able to change the system library? That's your right, but it's not very logical. All admin users are one step away from root as su -s or sudo anyway. So, chmod 755 won't help much as it will still just ask you for you password to make changes in Library. It's better to run as a non-admin user.
But, I agree this isn't a virus. It's hardly a trojan. It's a self propgating script that requires several user interactions before doing anything. Since it only affects the user space - per the OS X security model - this will never get too far. Especially in the corporate environment where only ignorant IS folks let their users run as admin. Yes, some users run as admin and will get screwed, but that will never change - ignorance will always reign.
Why would you rip them on a FreeBSD box? Why not just use iTunes directly? It doesn't put any DRM into any track that it rips, and never has. Only tracks purchased from iTMS have any DRM in them.
And if you're out of luck, you call Apple. They deregister ALL of your computers and then you re-enable those that you need. It's really a pretty painless process.

Unless, you know, they want to search everyone's spreadsheets to monitor trends. Kind of like they do with gMail.
Wow, that's one hell of a tangent you got there. It must be pretty strong for how far out you went on it.
No, Apple had a greater market cap than Dell for a day or two, but not since. Though they are close. What's a few billion dollars between friends!
http://finance.yahoo.com/q?d=t&s=dell&s=AAPL
But, yes, they are a smaller company - Dell's revenue is $56B, AAPL's revenue is $17B. Still big though, but not compared to other OEMs.
Dude, I'm altering my own reality...RIGHT NOW!!!
I'd be happy with just the whole QA dept.
Admin for install.
Non admin for ALL testing of ALL non-admin software.
I know, it's out there, eh?
And maybe require that same testing for an official Vista sticker.

I started that trend at work.
Fun Shirt Fridays!!
People are now starting to compete with me for the wow factor, but I have some neon green hawiian shirts that beat just about anything...
+1 Redundant!
Failured???? FAILURED?????
You need to stop looking at your own wizardy website and get out once in a while.
Um, no I don't know that old saying.
WTF are you saying?!?!
New here, huh?
Dave works and is a rather high profile Mac admin at UWisc.
No services are turned on by default when installing Mac OS X client. Only ssh is even turned on by default for OS X server.
I don't think that you can barely get the System Pref open to turn on services in client before the software update starts nagging you with updates.
So, yeah, they've already done what you want.
To reply to myself...
It doesn't seem to have much functionality. You can't open or create a new page.
Maybe next week.
Try this:
sudo defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1
Restart Safari
Select Debug>User Agent>Windows MSIE 6.0
Go to http://pages.google.com/
Haven't tested out the functionality yet, but it views the page...
ASP for dynamic PDFs.

"Um, why is my /Library chmod 775?"

Maybe I need more coffee, but I read this as:
co-louration
and thought "Damn misspeller, it's co-location!"
Well, it would be more than simple to write a virus that sends itself out to every address in the Outlook address book and then c:\deltree -y
It would spread quickly and wipe out A LOT of systems.
Try the option key. It lets you choose what bootable device to boot from, regardless of it's type - optical, HD, firewire.
I know this is rather ethnocentric of me, but......the what???

Listen to him say all kinds of idiotic things. It's fun, you can make him sound even stupider than real life! Now that takes talent and technology!!

Not to 'mee tooooo', but do you even know what you're talking about?

And every powerbook Apple has ever made has had video out. That's why it's the 'pro' level.
Yes, the Unix part of OS X is open source, which is what the GP was saying:

And it's been running on x86 for quite some time.
It's GUI is not.
But I can see your confusion.
