...welcome our new Apple overlords.
I have been waiting to get infected with the blaster worm for several weeks now. Will this uodate open a security hole to allow that to happen?
Given how frequently Apple updates OS X, I'm never going to have an impressive uptime. The last update was what about 2 weeks ago?

Amazingly, three people all posted the answer to SSH within 1 minute, but you were first!
Congratulations! You win 4 points of karma!
The other players each lose a point each for being redundant. But they do get a copy of the home game!
It goes along with the new "Today I spent the good part of 5 hours..." troll.
There's activity on the mac troll front, and it's leading to something.
Probably nothing interesting, but it's leading to something irregardless.
INSIDE THE MACHINE oooo... SCARY! Watch your fingers now, something might get up and bite you!
Computer guy eh? Let me ask you a question....
I was writing a paper, on my PC when it went beepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeep, and like half of my paper was gone!
What do you think the problem is?
I called Apple and they said that that wasn't covered under Applecare! I have a paper due, and have 16.5 million colors to put back! Your problems don't amount to a hill of beans, Mister!
Oddly enough, the release notes for the new update say it updates 10.2.6 and 10.2.7 to 10.2.8, and then says you can't use it on a G5.
Don't blame me; I'm never given mod points.
Well.. The only update I have ever done to speed up any of my PCs was to reinstall. However, reinstalling Windows 2000 or newer requires so many reboots to get up-to-date patches it isn't even funny. And, of course, once the OS is installed and configured and the applications running on it, it slows back down to a crawl. I have an IBM thinkpad T30. 2Ghz, 1GB mem, 60GB hd... and when doing anything, it will pause to thrash on the HD. Really sucks when you are doing development work.. I must say, since I switched, I check fairly often for the updates, especially when I know something is out there. And, for the most part, I instantly want the updates, unlike MS Windows where I tell the updater to skip them, for the umpteenth time. As for the EULA, and I admit this, I never read them. Hardly anyone else does either. It's that or be stuck with a system that's as vulnerable as a nice car sitting on the street in manhattan at midnight in a dark alley. Why even ask for a password on Windows? It matters?
Another update eliminated the photo viewing tool that had been previously installed with the OS.
That's not a bug, it's a DRM thing.

Complaining about ONE WEEK turnaround. Geeze, don't ever try to get cable TV installed... (grin)
