How can any open source operating system be hack proof, except in the sense that
you do not need to hack it as you can just read the source? Luckily the so
called hackers (being of the old school I do hate this misuse of that term as
used by the media, but I guess there is nothing I can do about it) usually don't
have a hatred of open source companies like they do for mickey-shit.

Hi Peter, I dont want to get into a flame situation here, but I do not
think that I have ever heard of OSX being either hacked nor a problem
for developers. Can you support you statement with an example? Certainly
I do not think any OS is totally imune from a determined hack, but all
the information I have to date on the subject lead me to beleive that
OSX is about as stable and hack proof as they come. Is there something I
have been missing? Please say more.

Substandard? Maybe that's the wrong word for it. Windows IS the
standard for operating systems. However crappy it may be, it's still
the standard.
Gee it's nice to know that I use an above standard OS ;-)
Cheers,
