    Steve Jobs got out of the left side of bed this morning.

    How does a small safari update get posted on the main slashdot page instead of just to apple.slashdot.org ?

    Slow news day?

    Nope, I don't currently use XP (I have Windows 98SE on two PC's next to my Mac). However, it's refreshing that Apple doesn't release security updates every week like Microsoft. That shows that their products are generally more secure. :P

    What is a "dildoes"? Is that a pickled female deer? I don't see many black female deer, and even fewer of them pickled. It must be some sort of high-class delicacy I suppose.

    I certainly don't at all understand at all what use a dead, pickled, female deer would have for a phallically shaped self gratification implement. Nor do I comprehend how one such prepared creature might find itself with a life sentence in prison. In any case, the color of such a thing would be meaningless to the creature as: 1, it is dead and pickled QED; 2. deer are essentially color blind (something you would know if you had read your Guide). Such a device could be red or blue as far as the doe were concerned (which of course, it wouldn't be as deer are much more concerned with things like eating tasty foliage from a larch or perhaps a nice shrubbery, and running away from anything that might want to kill and pickle it.

    After your first paragraph, your skit just gets too silly.
    silly, silly, silly. Right, that's enough of that. Lets get on to some clean, wholesome, family oriented entertainment.

    And now for something completely different... A PC user without a grudge.
