Talk with your hands out of this instance of OS X "just working" you butthats. Oh the sweet irony! It feels soooooooo good.


I'm sorry for all of that it's just I frigging hate being lectured about how I made a bad decision in 2001 to get a Dell by some asshole art student who was talking about the "more earthy tone" of his guitar who randomly sticks his head into my dorm room to inform I should "get a Mac" despite my crappy Dell is working just fine.

So why is this being showed to us? We've all been through the loop and back about Mac and Windows being better than the other. You're only going to keep finding more evidence of Windows exceeding Mac because that's all you're looking for. (No, darn it, I'm not a Mac supporter)...

No, the real story here is that PC users that use FF are cooler than Safari Mac users![lol]

I knew it. I was always saying that MAC OSX has very little security and that if you wanted to hack it it wouldn't be that hard. Well this proves it.

No Gersty the art student example I provided is an example of an entire group of annoying people. I don't are that much lol.

I guess a comparison would be a horde of people bitching to you about how you bought normal sandals instead of Crocs despite Crocs having amazing features, a better look to appealing artistic morons who can envision the future better than you (they's gotta have a shiny ejaculate white colored Croc like the Macs have), and they never smell bad or anything and then a study is released saying Crocs are a polymer of dead racoon babies and betta fish corpses that cause cancer and you're like "AHAHAHA YOU PAID FOR THAT AND COMPLAINED TO ME ABOUT MY OWN DECISIONS AND NOW LOOK WHAT HAPPENED BIATCH!"

...I still haven't gotten a virus, or had any problems at all, with my Mac, which dates from 1999. Unfortunately, the same can't be said of my Vista-Using friend, who recently had to buy a new computer because of a virus.

It was a post intended to the general fanboys with me using the word you in the indirect form and not in the direct form. Pardon the lost in translation emo.

Now on your Vista machine did you use IE or FF?

Having used both platforms I can tell you that neither is superior to the other. I've been told numerous times to buy a Mac, and that being a graphic designer I "have to have one". This is a bunch of BS! The fact of the matter is that anything you can do on a Mac you can do on a PC, and quite frankly in my humble opinion, for the price you pay for a tricked out Mac you can buy 2-3 times more computer with a PC. I know, I've been pricing them. Macs are nice to look at and they run really good (especially the G5's we have at school), but they are over priced and overhyped.

Wrong. I have Firefox, and I use it too.

Who cares if it's safer? With 3 years of experience on high-end macs, I have to say Macs are still full of fail.

Full of it.

You're just full of Bill Gates. You could pull your head out of his butt but then you'd have to realise what a dumbass you're being.

Dumbass? How?

Here's a small list of problems I have with the mac:

1) CD burning takes literally days. When I have to leave the computer on overnight for two days to burn 20 images to a CD... there's a problem.

When I was forced to do it at home to avoid failing the semester, my Windows did it in ten minutes.

2) It takes at least 3/4 minutes to open my documents.

3) It takes even longer to save one.

4) You're damned if you decide to open an image from Photoshop/FinalCut Pro/Flash cause it's just not going to happen.

5) You have to beat the crap out of a Mac before it imports anything from a CD.

6) The login screen freezes. And when it does, I have to shut it down.

7) Why do I get an error message saying that the USB port doesn't have enough power to read a card reader?

8) Might as well kill yourself if you wanna use an external harddrive.

I have more minor problems, but those are the big ones.

Uhuh yeah ho----kaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.

*Now a Mac user.


Please write a small summary interpreting the data represented in that link to show everyone a complete understanding.

You link contains quotes like "Have your organisation taken any extraordinary steps to remediate the Microsoft Windows URI vulnerability"

"The statistics provided should NOT be used to compare the overall security of products against one another. It is IMPORTANT to understand what the below comments mean when using the statistics, especially when using the statistics to compare the vulnerability aspects of different products."

Considering those two quotes I don't think you have an understanding of said data.
