You can use this to allow OS X to write to NTFS.
reformatting is a pain in the ass a lot of the times because for me personally, i have like 700gb stored on my drive and it just takes ages to move everything.

Lols aside, I never realized that a lot of Mac people thought they were actually IMMUNE to a virus? All it means is that whoever created it - would almost always go for Windows because there are way more people who use windows. | ||

Well, for me it was also a matter of file size. It came in FAT32 but I had big files I couldn't put on it so I put it in NTFS. I'm not really aware of any other format (nor do I really care, I don't download anything on my mac; just an annoyance for people with both PC and mac). | ||

Its not hard, neither is writing one for nix systems, just why would you do it, if you want zombies best bet is to make a windows trojan. | ||

Yup, Apple is right up there with McDonalds to me. Idk if this is serious or not, Apple is way worse than McDonald's. When Steve Jobs died all the crap about how much of a "visionary" he was and how much he did for the technology world was such complete crap. Steve jobs did only two successful things in his life, 1. he realized people would pay a primium for pre-built PCs (a the time most came in do-it-yourself kits). And 2. he realized that with good marketing you could sell just about anything. Including grossly overpriced computers with an OS not so different from free counterparts like Ubuntu (the new unity shell is very much like mac). Everything else he did was pretty much a failure. Most people don't realize he nearly bankrupted Apple in the 90s and the board of directors actually forced him out. He also started and subsequently bankrupted his own computer company after that. It wasn't until the milenium when Apple started advertising like crazy (something he may have learned from Microsoft...) that they were able to effect this modern hipster cool image that drove millions to go out and buy whatever crap Apple was selling them. Before that, as anyone old enough will remember, Apple was synonomous with those big chunky iMacs, lovingly dubbed "boat anchors" by some in IT. | ||
