  2. Re:Switch to Intel on Macs May No Longer Be Immune to Viruses · · Score: 1, Informative
    If a writer is targetting a x86 Mac, how does the CPU matter

    the x86 acrhitecture has one major security weekness that will never go away.on an ax86 machine it is easy to perform a buffer overflow.this was fixed in windows with eXecute disable in windows and is avalable on all x86-64 machines.it is also i belive in linux aswell but as far as i know osx does not have this feature and is still vulnerable to buffer overflows.

    security at apple is like microsoft 3 years ago in the sense that they are still burying there haed in the sand.in the last 3 years microsoft has coome a long way in security eventhough there still not at the high standard that some people desire its alot better than 3 years ago

  9. Re:why does everyone think novell is so good on Novell to Release 20% of Their Employees? · · Score: 0

    ok so i have a few replies. 1. the MAD system did have fewer users (around 100 at any one time) but it also had by ratio less server that were less powerful (1 server dual p3 933 1 gig ram i think) compared to (6 dual xeons) so it is faster. BUT i do think these admions are idiots. there is a desktop network message and it is constantly being changed by students. so i think there it is more hte admins fault more than anything. thanks to the few guys who knew what they were talking about that enlightend me i wont be as quick to judge next time.

  10. why does everyone think novell is so good on Novell to Release 20% of Their Employees? · · Score: 0

    netware is crap it cant sustain our collage network without crashing at least onec a day. we have 5 or six servers serviceing 400 pcs at once and some times (monday morning is the worst) it can take as long as 10 mins to get logged in and the clients are quite fast. (cel 2.4 512 meg ram ) and the windows client is bloated to hell. they should be fired it might persude the rest to make a better product. personally i think microsofts active directory is better and faster (mod me down karma is for pussys)

    i agree with the parent wmp would be the way to go because it is installed by defualt and it works perfectly on all my systems. but you could put the video's on google video and link to them. it is cross platform and is free to use. it would involve no layout at all.
