You clearly have no idea what open source is, nor how it is developed.

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.

Don't kid yourself, OS-X is based on a Unix version that's that's a

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 ;-)
