Security Update Fixes the Screen Effects Hole
jellomizer writes "Here is is. Available from Software Update. 'Security Update 2003-07-14 addresses a potential vulnerability when a password is required upon waking from the Screen Effects feature, which could allow an unauthorized user access to the desktop of the logged in user.'
Now we can use our screen savers with the warm and fuzzy secure feeling."
About them Apple Switchers,
ain't they well informed
goin' to and frow,
switchn' they platform.
Them banjo pickin' Apple Switchers,
see how much they spent?
They switch to stop blue screens of death
or just to Think Different.
Look at all those Apple Switchers,
hey they even chicks!
Some just switch to make a point,
some just for the kicks.
How to be an Apple Switcher,
if you want to know?
Take a trip to Apple's store
and pony up the dough.
A programmer is a machine for converting coffee into code.
is is? I cannot seem to find "is". I feel so lost!
Sure can tell its Monday afternoon - editors are still recovering from the weekend
Could pudge or jellomizer please post a hyperlink? Thanks!
i just hope that one day updates won't require a restart.
Ain't it annoying? How the hell am I going to get my uptime past 30 days or so if I keep having to restart because of patches? Curse you, Apple, for fixing things on a regular basis!!
I don't want to start a holy war here, but what is the deal with you trolling losers? I've been sitting here at my cubicle reading slashdot for about 20 minutes now and again some pathetic AC has posted another variation on the parent troll. A pathetic AC. At home, where I also read slashdot, which by all standards should be the same as slashdot at work, the same troll will still appear in about 20 minutes. If that.
In addition, during reading the parent troll, I will not work. And everything else has ground to a halt.
I won't bore you with the laundry list of other insults that I've thought of while reading variations on the parent troll, but it is suffice to say there have been many. I don't get how someone can claim to get satisfaction from posting the same troll over and over again, whether it be changed to read Mac Classic, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, OGG, Windows, IE, PPC, or anything else.
Troll addicts, flame me if you'd like, but I'd rather hear some intelligent reasons why anyone would choose to post variations of the same boring old troll.
Just switch to PPC Linux 2.5.75, where you can get 30 years of uptime. And some people complain about this like it's a bad thing!!
HIV Crosses Species Barrier... into Muppets
This is a [lame] local user access hack/exploit. No big deal. Why fix it? They should ignore the problem. If enough people complain then it's not a bug, it's a _feature_. Has the moon gone red?
Oh, wait, I stopped using Microsoft products. Sorry.
