Cleveland, TN | Told Ya so. :) Now if we can only get the Mods here to put the stories about Linux and Firefox exploits on the front page we all can be happy.
Where's the arrogant Mac users comments.  |

What savvy Mac user would be stupid enough to do that?
Dumb, even suspicious, "contest."

The same savvy Mac user Steve J. fleeces every other month with a "new" iPod.
Edit* I forgot my so you know I am kidding kind of.
Macs are no more secure then a Win machine there are just less of them so no one wastes their time breaking into them. Had Apple been the 95% in use it would be the other way around.
Edit* Minor spelling fix.

Well, there are lots of them, from both camps. Biggest security problem of all is that O/S that runs in the space between the ears, that O/S that was genetically created, the O/S that is immensely complicated yet genuinely stupid at times. |

Just as I expected, this was ignored:
"The challenger deliberately left his 'window' (ssh) unlocked so a burglar could get in."
That's what the that in my question referred to.
The correct answer is None. The Mac in that contest was essentially security-crippled out of the gate.

| And Windows XP doesn't *include* SSH. *At all*. If you want SSH for Windows XP, you have to add it (as a third-party application). So it's a door Windows XP doesn't even have. (And no, Windows Vista doesn't include SSH, either.)
What a brain will do, a better brain can UNDO. A hackproof operating system is, by default, unusable. There are only degrees of hack-resistance. |
