OS X Security Update: Apache, SSL and SSH
payote writes "Security Update July 2002 includes the updated components, Apache v1.3.26, mod_ssl v2.8.9 and OpenSSH v3.4p1, which provide increased security to prevent unauthorized access to applications, servers, and the operating system." It's not in my Software Update window, because I'm still on 10.1.4 (having heard rumors that RtCW doesn't work on 10.1.5). But it is indeed out, and any Mac OS X machine whose webserver or ssh server is open to an untrusted network needs to upgrade.
I picked up a bass guitar when I was in College from 1997 to 1981 because of players like John Entwistle. I will miss him. I had to sell it in the summer of 96 when I was out of work, and needed to eat. I get a chuckle every time I see the video for My Generation. When Moon, Townshend, and Daltrey start smashing things, John cradled his bass like a baby, and stepped away from them. Rest in peace, Ox.
Netcraft has now confirmed BSD is dying Yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered BSD community when recently IDC confirmed that BSD accounts for less than a fraction of 1 percent of all servers Coming on the heels of the latest Netcraftsurvey which plainly states that BSD has lost more market share this news serves to reinforce what weve known all along BSD is collapsing in complete disarray as further exemplified by failing dead last samagcom samagcom in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking testYou dont need to be a Kreskin amdestcom to predict BSDs future The hand writing is on the wall BSD faces a bleak future In fact there wont be any future at all for BSD because BSD is dying Things are looking very bad for BSD As many of us are already aware BSD continues to lose market share Red ink flows like a river of blood FreeBSD is the most endangered of them all having lost 93 of its core developersLets keep to the facts and look at the numbers OpenBSD leader Theo states that there are 7000 users of OpenBSD How many users of NetBSD are there Lets see The number of OpenBSD versus NetBSD posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1 Therefore there are about 70005 1400 NetBSD users BSDOS posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of NetBSD posts Therefore there are about 700 users of BSDOS A recent article put FreeBSD at about 80 percent of the BSD market Therefore there are 700014007004 36400 FreeBSD users This is consistent with the number of FreeBSD Usenetposts Due to the troubles of Walnut Creek abysmal sales and so on FreeBSD went out of business and was taken over by BSDI who sell another troubled OS Now BSDI is also deadits corpse turned over to yet another charnel house All major surveys show that BSD has steadily declined in market share BSD is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim If BSD is to survive at all it will be among OS hobbyist dabblers BSD continues to decay Nothing short of a miracle could save it atthis point in time For all practical purposes BSD is dead BSD is dying

I've still got mine, though, and my two boys are a testament to that fact (they even look a little like me, in case you think my wife is as cheap as yours! :)

what a waste of a mod point. The friggin post was marked OffTopic already. Bonehead moderators.
Yeah, people have all kinds of sexual preferences. The only thing we can say for sure is that nobody wants to have sex with nosy dorks. As proof I offer the parent poster.
That trick is Metamucil. Sure, you've seen the ads, you've heard the pitch. But not until you've experienced the incredible pleasure of a Metamucil bowel movement, can you claim to have really lived. A Metamucil bowel movement is soft and full, yet remarkably resilient. It holds together. Better yet, its fibrous texture scrubs your colon walls, removing the accumulated sticky sludge of Snickers, Big Macs, and Ramen noodles.
Here's the trick: dissolve 2 or 3 tablespoons of Metamucil in a 10 ounce glass of water. Stir it and quickly chug it down. Follow by another glass of plain water without the Metamucil. Congratulations! You are well on your way to bowel movement Mecca. Tomorrow you will experience the pleasure of a full, cleansing bowel movement. No runs. No drips. No errors. You will enjoy a pleasant bowel movement which is as easy to clean up as it is to pass. A quick wipe with plain tissue, and no dirty skid marks. Metamucil--try it, you'll like it!
The fact that Apple won't ship hardware accelerated graphics for the ATI chipsets just made it worse. Do you know what it feels like to spend $1400 and then find out two months later that your purchase won't support simple drawing features, like translucent menus which OS 10 is rampant with.
Cocoa is extremely cool, but developing with it did not warrant me to upgrade my Mac again 8 months later just to experience more dismal performance and a sore wallet. I'm not going to buy into their pump and dump solution to hardware.
Good bye Apple. My iBook was pretty cool, and I felt like part of the Apple community for the 8 months I had it - reading all the News sites daily in hope for some magic patch to make my hardware faster and OS X run better. It was nice reading about the Japanese kids that removed 200 screws and painted their iBook blue and overclocked it to 600Mhz. Ah well.
Flame on.. RIP iBook.

You just gave me an idea. Every time I make an ass out of myself by posting misleading or false information, I can just claim I was trolling.
