  1. My biggets complaint... on Mac OS X 10.4.1 Is Out · · Score: 3, Informative

    Spotlight re-indexes the system HD. that was a unexpected and gave me reason to go to gym while it finished. I hope future updates dont suffer the same performance hit.

    and you think your a IT pro, having updating 10 windows machines, but apparently on your first OSx update you had a problem, and you then immediately post to Slashdot , but as anonymous coward and think you have any credibility in your post implying windows is systematically easier, regardless of security flaws, by posting a article for people who fucked up their installation? yeah, your Kung Foo is the best!

    your are a child updating your High school lab arent you?

  3. FUD'ly AC on Mac OS X 10.4.1 Is Out · · Score: 1

    that was the "Troubleshooting Automatic Software" page. It is to be used if something doesn't work, not to be confused with actual update procedures to be fair, you would have to give similar info for Windows. But that wasnt your intention.

    Nice FUD. let me give you software update procedures for OS X10.4.1. Click on Software Preferences in Dock. Click On "software update" Check for Update. Install update.

    Yeah, sure was a hassle

    exactly. i find it funny how all these people come out of wood work on apple stories or even slight rumoring and proclaim to be standing up for the virtue of slashdot, like slashdot is some virgin that must remain pure until she is ready to get nasty on her wedding day.

    what they really are saying is they know slashdot, and we must all know it the way they do. kinda fascist if you ask me.

    bad troll! bad!

    lets see, a story about a FREE update which fixes bugs that effect users and the performace of thier computers they spend good money on is a advertisement for apple and not news?

    yeah, an adverstisment. Im sure apple us thrilled we are discussing their fucks ups and free patches and not something that people actuialy will pay for.

    yes, but content that is actually produced in it is.
    taking a 720x540 dvd a applying the codec to it does not give you hi def quality video. hi def comes from actually re-mastering the video at HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 with all the increased pixel detail.

    what you are doing is the almost the equivalent like taking at 72 dpi image into photoshop, making it 300 dpi. in neither case is quality improved.

    also, since i signed my real name, all they would have to do is subpoena me, and i would say the truth, this is my action and no way was i paid by apple. you really need a basic understanding of the legal system.

    mention in court is far cry from PROVING in court. and as this thread is on Slasdot, i think a quick google search would give apple reasonable doubt in its defense, not that they need a defense for what tiger would think without proof anyways.

    if everyone is of a "like mind" then what is point of discussion if you already agree on everything?

    Discussion at its best is to get ideas you might not have considered to have a balanced menu of ideas to choose from

    You can be still be a supporter and have a different point of view or vice versa.

    Only a fool would limited them selves to people who agree with them 100% of time. In fact, i would say a good Leaderr would want to hear disneting points of view. Perhaps we wouldnt have invaded the wrong country for WMD if we had.

    This president, even when appointing his cabinet with capable people, when they had opinions which didn't jive with his (or Karl Rove's pre-conceptions, dismissed them one after another. Even when they were proven right.
