I don't even think he understands the significance of your "Woosh!" comment. I think you should spell it out for him before his head explodes.
The point was that there is a huge third-party market of add-ons for iOS devices that dwarfs the practically non-existent one for Android devices. Each platform has its strengths.
And he spit in the peanut bowl.
No, you are a Microsoft IT admin in a library who knows nothing about Macs.
What do you think Mac OS X Server does?
Sigh, I was wondering how long it would take for this thread to deteriorate to this. It didn't take long at all.
Why hasn't Apple been caring about security for these past 10 years?
Yes, because as we all know, during the past 10 years Apple hasn't issued a single security patch nor have they implemented any security measures what so ever such as ASLR, DEP, or application sandboxing etc.
You know, just because you post it on slashdot doesn't make it true.
Just about every patch cycle from apple sees more security vulnerabilities patches than are found in all MS products combined in a year.
Although this is patently false, all this proves is that Apple is better at discovering and patching vulnerabilities than Microsoft is. The total number of vulnerabilities in an OS at any one time is an unknowable figure. For all we know there are thousands of vulnerabilities in Windows and only hundreds in Mac OS. If that were the case then the fewer number of vulnerabilities found and patched by Microsoft each month would only prove that many vulnerabilities remain un-patched and the many number of vulnerabilities found and patched by Apple means that fewer vulnerabilities remain un-patched.
Therefore, because of the fact the actual total number of vulnerabilities is unknown in any one system, your metric of measurement is meaningless.
Apple has been insisting for years that OSX has zero viruses.
This is wrong. Stop spreading this myth. Apple has NEVER made any such claim. Please show me where Apple makes a claim that OS X has zero viruses.
You really need to do more research on IPv6
First of all, forget about NAT. There is no NAT with IPv6. NAT was a kludge to fix the problem of IPv4 addresses that actually ran out long ago.
As for VPNs, you can still have a router at the border of your network that blocks all inbound traffic to all but the services/ports that are statically routed to pass-through. The rest can be handled by a VPN if that's what you want to do.
Please tell, what's wrong with the Windows firewall, it works doesn't it? Unless you know something the rest of us don't.
There is no way to assign a single IPv6 address. The protocol doesn't allow for that.
Also, there is no such thing as NAT with IPv6 so there is nothing to survive.
Do some research!
Then you don't understand the horse, umm, Microsoft's statement.
"as well as VP8 video when the USER HAS INSTALLED a VP8 codec on Windows"
In other words, Microsoft is not going to prevent you from installing a plug-in to support the playback of video encoded in VP8. There is a big difference between Microsoft including support in the browser and you having to install a plug-in yourself.
Shhhhhh! The military doesn't want to hear about commercial solutions that already exist. Otherwise how can they justify their multi-billion dollar budget.
One possible reason that things aren't going according to plan is that there never was a plan in the first place.
