Apple Releases Security Update for Jaguar

Mac OS X Security Update 2002-08-23 is available at the Apple Knowledge Base." This appears to me to be similar to the update of a few days ago, but for 10.2 instead of 10.1.

    Wouldn't this type of update be considered a security patch if it were released for windows?

    So the OS was released yesterday despite pending security problems. Were buyers told that they should wait a day for a patch, or were they left running vulnerable systems overnight?

    Dear Apple,

    I am a big homosexual. I bought an Apple computer because of its well earned reputation for being "the" gay computer. Since I have become an Apple owner, I have been exposed to a whole new world of gay friends. It is really a pleasure to meet and compute with other homos such as myself. I plan on using my new Apple computer as a way to entice and recruit young schoolboys into the homosexual lifestyle; it would be so helpful if you could produce more software which would appeal to young boys. Thanks in advance.

    with much gayness,

    Father Randy "Pudge" O'Day, S.J.
