Flurry of Security Patches

yggy writes "It's been a hectic day on the security patching front. Microsoft's bulletins for July include patches for three critical vulnerabilities on the same day that Mozilla releases new security updates for Firefox and Thunderbird. Not to be left behind, Apple fixed two Tiger flaws while Oracle issued a critical database server update." (See these separate stories on today's release of Firefox 1.0.5 and the 10.4.2 update from Apple, too.)

    Quit drinking the koolaid, dipshit.
    No sysadmin in his right mind runs OSX.
    Unless he doesn't want *real* support.
    Or performance.
    Or security.
    Or configurability.
    Or standards.
    Or a real journaling file system.
    Or real hardware.

      How does using an account on a website make you have "balls"? The only balls you have are the ones in your mouth (since you reside in SF, obviously).

    No, Microsoft sucks because their products are simplistic, underpowered and unsophisticated compared to Unix, and thus your productivity is 80% lower when using Windows, and you continually see things that you could do in two commands in Unix that will require either 40,000 clicks or asking IT to purchase entire additional software site licenses in your office's Windows environemnt, yet YOUR BOSS MAKES YOU USE WINDOWS ANYWAY.

    Linux is cool because of -(all of the above), and because my home computer runs it and I'm cool. :-p
