Mac OS X 10.2.8 Update, Take Two
javaxman writes "OS X users will find Mac OS X Update version 10.2.8 is available via 'Software Update'. If you did not install the previous 10.2.8 update, the size of the new update is 40.6MB. If you installed the previous update, the size of the new update is small, ~680K... if you can connect to the network, that is. Clearly you get different downloads depending on what you did with the previous 10.2.8 update. Apple Knowledge Base article 25524 has the details. It looks very familiar. I'm installing mine right away, how about you?"
In the immortal words of George "DoubleYa":
"Fool me once...shame on you....
Fool me twice...umm....
Shame..on...Shame...on...
Well you're not gonna fool me again..."
I'll wait for some other people to install first..
I'm installing mine righ

On the other hand, you're going to give me a hard time for a little 100k difference? Admit it, you love to nitpick!
Ahh, but what would slashdot be without nitpickers?! This site is based on unimportant details that are made in to a big deal!

The flurry screen saver seems very blocky now. Like a bunch of rectangles on the screen. Also abstract no longer shows pictures. The dock icons also turn into folders now instead of the program icons. The OS does seem a little snappier.
Yeah right, like I've never rebooted before this update.

Indeed! And this new petroleum distillate from the local service shoppe doesn't work for me either. Without the added "lead", it wreaks havoc with my Stutz Bearcat.
Tell you what, if you can find a way to re-vulcanize my tires, I'll give you a shiny new nickel so you can buy a new Macintosh.
Insert simplistic political, ideological, or personal proselytization here.
640K ought to be enough for anybody.

Well, you could always put it on a floppy di....damnit.

So the Software Update icon is dancing happily in the Dock.
I had the same problem. I hated the noise. So I took out all the fans. I figured it would be OK without them. It was much quieter for a while. Then later that day it locked up. I called Apple and told them what happened. They claimed it was my fault for taking the fans out that it needed to cool. What dimwits Apple are. How could it be my fault? Damn them all. I say don't buy Apple computers until they start actually taking their warranty seriously!
Yeah, my Sun T3 disk trays with 15k spindles was really noisy. So I opened the disks up and oiled them and sure enough they were a lot quiter when they spun up.
Much to my dismay, all my data was gone after the system booted, which leads me to believe that a Solaris glitch deleted all my filesystems. So I called up Sun and they told me to go fuck myself! What the hell is going on in the world?
That should be "made into a big deal."
