Last Month the Japanese try to retrive this mod a little bit more. They played in the at 2pm CET. At the moment the gametracker,com Server Monitorring is off. Hope soon they turn it on. The ranking seems to work.

If I recall correctly, this malware infected maybe 50 computers and did no damage. Yes, Mac OS X is not inherently safe, but there has not been any noteable outbreak yet, despite claims that one could happen for many years now.
Ñ‚ÎÒ‘xâ„¢ and nebadon2025: Don't change your opinions. Keep telling yourself that Macs suck every day, please. I would not want the Mac community infested with things like you. :p
Shrooms: Isn't that kind of argumentation below your standard? There's no fun in arguing with you if you just keep saying things like "soon there will be no advantage to mac besides music" (the advantage that the Mac has in music is iTunes, i.e. none since that is not Mac-only, Macs have advantages in thousands of other areas).

first of all... im okay with mac saying thier product is better... its called competition! but i totally disagree with the way they go PC bashing in the process... is that really neccesary? save the damn bashing for the politicians... ugh... why the hell cant they just make a product and market it without insulting thier main competition?

i never said macs suck.. i just said they only make up like 1% of the overall desktop computer arena i wasnt talking about servers, and besides technicly OSX is linux.. thats why there aren't massive amounts of virus's give it time things will find a balance over time.. and last time i checked, windows also has itunes.. infact if it werent for windows.. itunes would not have been economicly feasible to only market to the mac arena.. but if your talking about music creation, ie Cubase and ProTools etc.. there is absolutly not advantage to a mac.. its an even playing ground.. windows probably supports more hardware!

nebandon, all your facts are wrong. Mac OS has 6.2% market share according to recent surveys. However, it is very weak in the server area. Tunes existed long on the Mac before the iTunes Music Store was opened. Mac OS is not based on Linux. Going into details here takes time and is confusing, so be aware of that before going on.
It all centers around UNIX, on of the first and most flexible operating systems of all times. UNIX is composed out of thousands of parts, like a kernel, compilers, tools, a GUI and so on. All of these parts can be exchanged, and consequently, there are thousands of operating systems that share UNIX ideas, but do not actually use any direct part of UNIX, instead relying on their own pieces.
There are four important players that we have to keep in mind here: GNU stands for GNU's Not Unix (that's called a recursive acronym). It's a project to develop an entire open-source UNIX. They have most things except a kernel. Then we have Linux, a project that only makes a kernel. Most things that are called Linux use GNU tools, Linux kernel and thousands of other software from around the world. Whether you call them Linux or GNU/Linux is not important, except to the guys at GNU.
Then we have BSD, another attempt at making a completely open-source Unix, but based on original UNIX source code. They actually have a full OS working. Finally we have Mach, another project to create a new, much cooler Kernel.
Mac OS X is mainly based on BSD, has a kernel that is a weird mix of BSD's kernel and Mach, uses many GNU tools and has lots of non-open-source software by Apple on top.
So Mac OS X is not based on Linux at all, and anyone saying this is wrong.

Can we end this now before something more starts. I posted on other topics to get this away from the top 5 list. Can some admin come close this please.
