Comment Re:Republican?? (Score 3, Interesting) 167

So if there's a post about anything socialistic in nature it should be tagged "Democrats"? Anything about vegetables should be tagged "Libertarians"? You should tag all war related stories "Romans"? How about posts about boats? Tag them "Vikings" I suppose.

Just because two things are ocasionally associated doesn't mean one always has to do with the other.

This story is about the FBI, not Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, Mormons, Moonies or Xenu.

Good info, thanks for that. I'm an atheist myself, but find religion fascinating. Also, I completely agree with you. Organized religion has brought much more pain and suffering to this world than it can ever take away.

I basically see it as this: Science is about understanding why the sky is blue. Religion is about saying "It's blue because God/Allah/Zeus/whatever wants it to be that way. Don't ask questions."

While your comment meets the current "fashion" for anti-Americanism and anti-Bushism, what you say is false.

They hate Americans, and all westerners because they've been told for generations that we are "infidels", non-believers, and it is therefore their duty by Allah to cleanse the Earth of these non-belivers. This is despite the Qur'an specifically recognizing Christians and Jews (People of the Book) and, believe it or not, even atheists. Mohammed himself also stated, "He who wrongs a Jew or a Christian will have myself as his accuser on the day of judgment." Alos, Qur'an 109:6(http://www.usc.edu/schools/college/crcc/engagement/resources/texts/muslim/quran/109.qmt.html) says "Unto you your religion, and unto me my religion."

Oh, and Bush/Cheney aren't in office anymore, the Country has moved on, maybe you should too.

You and I must be reading different constitutions. I see nothing in the First Amendment about videos, music, games, DRM or anything of the sort.

The First Amendment reads:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

From what I read on that Apple post, it sounds like Apple is encouraging you to install multiple AV software. And OS X already runs ClamAV doesn't it? Although I have yet to see such a thing get pushed out, I assume Clam can get updates via SoftwareUpdate?

I don't think they're suggesting that each machine run multiple AV systems, just that there are multiple AV systems in use among all machines, thus decreasing the chances that a virus can exploit a weakness in a particular scanner and remain undetected.

Also, OS X Server comes with ClamAV, but standard OS X does not. However, ClamXAV is available (completely free of course) for OS X and provides a simple way to install ClamAV and a GUI for management. I'm a bit surprised Apple doesn't list it on the recommendation page.
