Apple Mac OS X Update For 17 Vulnerabilities
BSDetector writes "Apple has released fixes for 17 OSX vulnerabilities, ranging from system takeover to denial-of-service attacks. It was the fifth security update released this year. It also marked the first time this year that an operating system security update from Apple did not patch a vulnerability disclosed by the January Month of Apple Bugs project. Today's update pushed Apple's year-to-date patch total to over 100. More than one of the affected flaws were called 'critical' or 'dangerous'."
Because your M$ updates might have spyware, viri, trojans, etc, so it would be dangerous to notify you.

Becuase the patches are all released on the first(?) Tuesday of every month.
Why doesn't Slashdot tell me when Thanksgiving is?
Your ad here. Ask me how!
No, most of us just want another overpriced peripheral for our iPods.
Just a hunch, but I'll bet most of your troll mods come from your sig.
Tags != Comments, and -1 (Troll) != -1 (I Would Respond Angrily To This Poster So They Must Be Trolling)
I really need to get a USB breathalyzer that prohibits me from:
A. logging in as root
B. sending email
C. posting to slashdot
if my blood alcohol level is higher than 0.15%.
"I was a fresher"
Could you please explain what that means?
Vote monkeys into Congress. They are cheaper and more trustworthy.
A degree on creating "softwares"?
Judging by the confusion and the lack of understanding that your post created, I think you are better off writing software for Linux. :) /me ducks.
You didn't get the media spin memo, right? The former is now called "life threatening" and the latter "potentially deadly".
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
Especially when you're developing exploits for a machine. You can time them so they hit the market a day after patch, so you have a guaranteed full month before your exploit gets a fix.

Certainly not one creating English.

Duct tape is like the Force. It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the universe together.
What really happened was she was presented with a dialog that clearly showed the machine would need to be rebooted if she proceeded and she then clicked the "Install Items" button. Then she was asked to authenticate as an admin user, then she was give a dialog asking for permission to reboot, which she could have ignored until a better time but didn't.
However, under no circumstances tell her this. She is your wife and this automatically makes the reboot YOUR fault. So just apologize to her and go buy flowers, you insensitive clod.

I prefer it to the Windows 'feature' that automatically shuts down your PC whether you want it to or not, even if you tell it you're going to restart later.
I am totally offended by your remarks! I AM gay and thought Bill & Steve would make a great looking couple. Who are you to chastise me for expressing my feelings! It would be one thing if you were debating on the content of my remarks; it's a whole other thing to bash me and my sexuality. You must be some sort of homophobe who hides behind the false precept of being mature. Hater!
There is a subtle difference.
Faster! Faster! Faster would be better!
