The inbound firewall has nothing to protect by default. There is absolutely zero benefit to turning it on unless you're running a server that...
I find a FreeBSD jail is just about as recoverable and secure and a whole lot less overhead, and while OS X doesn't have that (alas) a chrooted...
My daughter is good evidence that it's significantly more kid-proof than Windows... Windows 2000, anyway. I got tired of reinstalling her PC...

Nothing will but getting burned a time or two. Where precisely did you get the idea that I have said anything different? Eg:
Yes No. Approval dialogs provide a false sense of security, and train people to approve them. Look at what Camino does for their "auto-open" files...
Windows services are not designed to work in a hostile environment. They need at least a packet filtering firewall to block access to listening...

I was not aware that /var/tmp survived a reboot on OS X. It shouldn't have to: the only reason for /var/tmp is historical, and over my almost 30...
The "password required" dialog on OS X is not an approval dialog (do you want to do a dangerous thing), it's an authentication dialog (are you a...
Why would it do that when it can put it in "~/Library/Application Support/Some Random Dir/Some Name Helper", and it'll survive a reboot? It can...
My bad. I assumed that the people who wrote that it gave complete access to the drive meant that it gave complete access to the drive. Silly me....
That's true, and that's a concern for people who are expecting Parallels to provide protection from Windows malware. However the visibility of...
Then for most users this is not a significant exposure. The way you were all going on it sounded like this was bypassing the file system...
