Pekr: do u have a URL for that article?

http://www.osnews.com/- go there - there is also discussion and 
the link to the original article ...

openbsd is regarded as the most secured opensource OS. I am shure 
than the NSA has something better. Two of my friends work for them.

Yes Obsd has a very nice qualification scheme..and Im very happy 
with it ;-)

isn't openbsd or netbsd regarded being one of the most secure systems?
 ... I thought MVS (IBM Mainframe OS) has that honour?

MVS is called Z/OS these days.

Hard to hack -- but then not many people wouid have the skills to 
even get started: the concepts are so different to what you'd expect 
from a PC or UNIX background.
But not impossible

That Mac article (from MS-owned ZDnet) has been widely discredited. 
From a follow up article on OSnews:


The ZDnet article, and almost all of the coverage of it, failed to 
mention a very critical point: anyone who wished it was given a local 
account on the machine (which could be accessed via ssh).


Original ZDnet article: http://www.zdnet.com.au/news/security/soa/Mac_OS_X_hacked_in_less_than_30_minutes/0,2000061744,39241748,00.htm

Well there you go.

.

The story is now finsished http://test.doit.wisc.edu/with a positive 
result...the Mac was not hacked ;-)

I think the testing period was too short

That was a new hack attempt btw...

Today I was just confronted with a 1 minute hack on VMS ;-) ..but 
that was a local account issue too :-) Still is fnu sometimes..

Web 2.0 Baloney by John C. Dvorak: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,1931858,00.asp

Dvorak is a web 1.0 dinosaur.

Devorak is a dinosaur.

They said they where worried about the bandwidth. seems that is the 
only thing which can stop a mac. :)

It's Official! Windows XP Boots on Macbook!!!!  http://www.mathcaddy.com/windowsxpbootsonamac%21%21%21%211/

that is pretty cool.

I thought that you want the opposite - to run OS-X on general x86 
hw, no? :-)

what is so special on Mac x86 machine to run WinXP on it? It just 
does not make sense ...

they don't have a BIOS

there are already really good notebooks out there, being it Dell 
or IBM or Acer, whatever ...

Pekr. Just check out the site. ;_)

I don't see it either. Dual booting is a clumsy solution. It would 
be a lot more fun to just let them run inside OSX like OS9 apps run 
under OSX currently.

I will maybe read the article - It is one day old news I found on 
OSnews.com, but It did not attract me ... I will read it to see ...

pekr, it's fake. it's just a joke image

http://www.sixapart.com/...everyperson a blog ;-)

And another one hitting the race.. -> http://officelive.microsoft.com/

BUT here it is !!! XP boots on MAC (No joke this time!! ;-) http://youtube.com/watch?v=nzH6OFpXgzI

They claim anyway... ;-)

Museum of Modern Betas - http://momb.socio-kybernetics.net/

Coo.

cool.

Its NOT fake... here is the proof.... http://onmac.net/They earned 
14000 Dollars with it!

and another goole release hits the road... http://base.google.com/

Google/base is yet another uniquely simple offering from google that 
completely changes everything.

All your base are belong to Google

and another google...http://finance.google.com/finance

so what next? bible.google.com ?

perhaps  http;//your-bank-aacount.google.com

with a lot of zeros:-))

Bon Echo, is the '2.0' alpha release of firefox.

Of interest, is that bookmarks are moved into embedded sqlite.

http://www.mozilla.org/projects/bonecho/releases/2.0a1.html

that is strange - all mail is plain text and can be og GBs of size 
.....

So will thunderbird move to binary files too? :-)

lets hope those browsers will do some good for the internet community.. 
For now they only go straight ahead wihout improving things..they 
just add gadgets and bells..oohh yes and yuo need at least 50 Meg 
of memory free to run those bulldozers.. ;-)

nah, Mozilla is the only browser, which does go like the buldozer, 
implementing new MLs .... and look at W3C, how many MLs we've got 
:-) Opera does nice job working on mobile devices, whereas MS tries 
to catch-up, but - imo they are more and more trying to make us dependant 
upon .NET ...

there are talks ....of SQLite in Thunderbird

uf, so the only advantage of mozilla mail is now gone :-) they go 
ms outlook route - one big file, binary, what a route ....
