As others have pointed out, the security flaw is only applicable to OS X 10.3. 10.1 and 10.2 are not vulnerable, so no patch is required.
I hate to sound rude but that is just pure BS. A shame to slashdot that you could achieve a +5 for that cr*p. Instead of your generalized disinformation here are the facts: Take a look at CAN-2003-0877. To quote:
Recommendation:
1) Upgrade to Panther (Mac OS X 10.3).
Now if the vulnerability only existed in 10.3, how come you are supposed to update to 10.3 in order to fix it?
Now take a look at the Apple Security Updates page. Is the fix for CAN-2003-0877 listed under 10.2.8? No. It's only under 10.3.
Take a look at this comment for more links to vulnerabilities that exist under 10.2 but are only fixed for 10.3.
To all the mods who modded the parent up: Shame on you! It contains not one link to any evidence. A statement like "As others have pointed out..." without any further specification is a generalization and stinks of disinformation.
Here's a tip for all you inventors looking to make things easy for the rest of us: CELL PHONES DO NOT HAVE A SIMPLE ENOUGH INTERFACE FOR MOST COMMON INTERACTIONS.
Get yourself a Nokia, any one, just not the advanced Symbian platform ones. Seriously. I just won a SonyEricsson P800, their most advanced model before they recently released the P900. It's usability sucks. I've reverted to my simple Nokia 3510i, since it just works and is very user-friendly.
In Copenhagen, Denmark, you have been able to pay parking tickets with your cellphone for over a year now. There are also supposed to be some vending machines where you can pay with your cellphone, but I haven't seen any of them yet.
I use an old 14" Apple Basic Color screen from '92 or '93 for my 100MHz Pentium OpenBSD mail server. I don't know the details on the ISA graphics card inside that server, but judging from its size and ugliness I think it might even date back to the late '80s.
Here is the index of all the research papers on their site. If you click the PDF links, it will ask you to log in first. The trick is to click on the "View Abstract" link and then there you click on the PDF link and voila, there you go!
Yes, because its a hardware "compression" technology, i.e. it doesn't modify the data it gets, just fits more of it on the disc: "The process works by shortening the length of the pits being written to the disc; shorter pits means more pits fit on the disc, and more pits means more data. The problem, of course, is that because these pits are shorter than the standard for data or audio CDs, compatibility with other drives may be hit or miss. Plextor does guarantee that the PlexWriter Premium will read any GigaRec disc, but they make no guarantees about other drives."
It can do both. Its encryption system is called SecuRec and its compression technology is called GigaRec. If it can combine both technologies, i.e. encrypt your compressed data, I don't know.
I fully understand that you have a problem with your attention and I am not trying to say that you don't, but the question is whether taking the drugs you get prescribed by your doctor is the right thing to do if you weigh the benifits of the drugs against its negative side effects. The above links might help you make a more qualified decision about this, as I don't believe doctors tell the whole truth about ADHD and its drugs when they prescribe it.
Please specify. As far as I understand, and as substantiated here, every customer has their own, unshared phone connection to the provider and is thereby guaranteed the throughput he/she pays for.
"What is more, it is would not slow down as more and more people use the service which is the case with DSL - broadband via the phone line."
Fun aside and correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe that ADSL slows down as more users connect. I think they mixed it up with cable, which does have this issue.
I bought Practical Unix and Security because I also wanted a primer in network and computer security and I can only say that the book has not disappointed. The title may sound like it is Unix specific, but it has a lot about general computer security that applies to all platforms, personnel security, backup routines, etc. Basically all that has to do with computers and security is covered in this book. Even secure programming gets touched on. Here you will find links to some excerpts from the book.

Third, Apple does distribute security patches for each of the OS Xes and OS 9. 10.1 is still being patched.
That's complete BS. 10.1 has not been patched since last March.
They'll patch it, they patched 10.1.x several times after Jaguar was released.
Not true.
The last Security Update for my 10.1.5 was last March. See here. That is from a similar story on MacSlash a week ago.

What a shame that I'm running Linux and my portable MP3 player doesn't support WMA.
Don't be a baby. You can play WMA files with MPlayer.

Here it is as a proper link: http://cr.yp.to/proto/qmtp.txt.
And the good thing about the SMTP-alternative QMTP is that it already exists and is in use. It is part of the qmail package.
D.J.Bernstein has an insightful rant about how/why the transition to IPv6 is going too slow while some people claim the transition is already done.

ADHD, What They Aren't Telling You
I fully understand that you have a problem with your attention and I am not trying to say that you don't, but the question is whether taking the drugs you get prescribed by your doctor is the right thing to do if you weigh the benifits of the drugs against its negative side effects.

Here's an FTP link.
A BitTorrent link should be coming soon. It should show up here in a couple hours.
The first application of this, that came to my mind was as a new chicken-catching machine.
Sorry, I meant the reply to that post.
