Apple Computer Inc. said in a statement given to MacCentral on Friday that the company would be fixing security flaws uncovered in Mac OS X Jaguar by Cambridge, MA-based security research firm @Stake earlier this week. Some have speculated that Apple would not update the older Jaguar operating system since the release of Mac OS X Panther on October 24, 2003, but Apple has put that speculation to rest.
"Apple's policy is to quickly address significant vulnerabilities in past releases of Mac OS X wherever feasible," Apple said in a statement given to MacCentral. "The shipment of Panther does not change this policy. Apple has an excellent track record of working with CERT and the open source community to proactively identify and correct potential vulnerabilities." Panther, Apple's latest operating system, was not affected by the security issues outlined by @Stake -- the flaws only affect Mac OS X 10.2.8 and lower.

Now that you have set the desired cabin altitude, simply turn on the bleed air and the cabin will begin to go to that alitude if you are higher than that. Twiddle the very lower-left knob with no label to get there faster or slower.Then climb above 12,500 or so and turn off the bleed air, or set a cabin altitude above 12,500... you will slowly black out! This is a serious occurence in the real airplane that you must avoid if you want to live. NOTE: You must be flying an airplane that HAS a pressurization differential in the SYSTEMS screen in Plane-Maker for this effect to occurr.
Otherwise, X-Plane assumes that the designer simply did not include the pressurization systems in the aircraft, adn the pressurization system is assumed to
be automated.
Trim speed is now controllable in Plane-Maker controls screen... enter the trim speed in ratio to default.
In Plane-Maker engine screen tab 3, set the exhaust ratio now... 1.0 for default, and more or less per plane to get the exhaust trails perfect for each particular craft!
New artificial stability option: Joystick simply sets pitch and roll. Easy!
Just move the stick to set the desired hovering attitude. Set up the constants in Plane-Maker Artificial Stability screen
Which is true.
I am talking about viruses.
Self-propagating software which alters native code and moves on to other systems.
Feel free to name a single OS X virus if you can. There have been ZERO.

Not sure what you are smoking but there are actually 0 Viruses in Mac OS X
so no probably he wont take anything against them, dont bother convincing him. We all know no human creation is perfect.
no viruses for os x according to that site anyways, and i guess a grand total of 3 exploits. 1 which doesn't exist anymore. 2 that are only possible if you give someone access to your computer.
I said ZERO viruses, I never said zero exploits, there's a huge difference. And that exploit affects most older versions of Linux as well, and isn't in any version of OS X shipped in the last couple of years (since 10.1).
Obviously its too difficult for some people to come to terms with this ... i dont hate apple, I dont see ANY reason why some of you people worship Apple so much.
These are two separate stories. I'm sick and tired of people acting all smart and sh!t when they haven't even read the story, related stories, or posts.
MitchShrader: "OMG MACS SUX NO ONE USES THEM LOLLLOLOLOL!"
It gets real old, buddy.
Seriously, unless you are a graphic designer or computer animator, you are wasting your money in buying a Mac. They are built under the ideal condition of software/hardware convergence, quality CPU's, even eye-catching at times. But how much does it REALLY cost to build one? $2000-$3000? Bullshiite.
Go ahead crApple people, flame on! PC users have a choice in every component and every piece of software. We can tweak and modify!
Did you know Microsoft owns a portion of Apple and is a major producer of Apple software? (for the M$ haters -
Did someone mention security flaws?
<Did you know Microsoft owns a portion of Apple?...SNIP>
The sad thing is, you probably believe that. M$ "Invested" 150 million dollars in Apple over 5 years ago and got shares of NON VOTING stock for that money which, by the way, they turned around and sold for a profit.
The only software that Microsoft makes for Apple is Office and now (since they bought it earlier this year) Virtual PC, and maybe a couple of games. I certainly wouldn't say they were a MAJOR producer of Apple software, no where near Adobe or even Apple themselves.
