That's unusual, usually links only stop working 5 minutes after the story is posted...

Reverse /. Effect?

[RAMMS+EIN]

``when this story was posted, this link was not yet working''
So...10.2.2 features a reverse slashdot effect - the site only gets working when a certain threshold of connections per second is surpassed?

Yes. I like my system insecure by default, too.

That's amazing

``Hopefully it fixes sleep issues on certain Mac Hardware.''
Yes, those TiBooks make really hard pillows! I like the built-in heater, though. It's just the right temperature, not like those Intel | AMD based notebooks...

Cupertino, we have a problem!

Now, a simple guestion: how is Apple going to handle the immense problem with increasing version numbers....11 is not very far anymore :)

Parent is troll...

[wirelessbuzzers]

... but I'll bite anyway.

I work for Apple's East division, there is no such thing as 10.2.2.

That's funny... I just installed it...

When did we release 10.2.1 ?

09/18/02, according to Apple [apple.com].

Addresses a potential kernel panic situation when using three video cards and more than 512 MB of RAM.

Gee ... I sure wish I was in a situation to run into that particular bug...

"- Improves the Find function of the Finder by no longer finding items in invisible folders."

Whew! Now it is easier to to hide pr0n. :)

# Addresses a potential kernel panic situation when using three video cards and more than 512 MB of RAM.

If only I had to worry about this situation!

# Addresses a potential issue in which an unauthorized user could log in as a deleted user.

Glad to see Apple still on the top with security.

# Improves Address Book compatibility with users that are already on an AIM Buddy List.

Good, this was an issue I submitted through Developer bug reporting, glad to see it fixed!

From the list of enhancements

"Improves time needed to wake some portable computers."

Uh oh. If my TiBook wakes up any faster than it already does, it'll resume before I even open the lid. Brings a whole new meaning to the term 'race condition.'

And why would you karma whore as AC anyway?

I believe that's called Trolling.

Re:From the list of enhancements

[ealar dlanvuli]

Hypothesis: Apple laptops premptively wake from sleep mode.

Test: Think about opening your TiBook by at the last moment divert your attention (tell your wife to yell at you sometime tomorow when your about to lift the lid or something).

Possible results:
1: it wakes;
hyphothesis upheld.
2: it doesn't wake
Apple has surely outdone all previous innovation with this notebook that actually predicts the future.

• Corrects Address Book address format for Australian entries.

Yes, it now properly addresses all male address book entries as "Bruce" and all female entries as "Sheila".

10.2.2 - man page killer?

[DiscoOnTheSide]

I don't know if anyone else had this problem, but this update seems to have killed the man command in the terminal. no matter what you type now man says "invalid option -- C" did this happen to anyone else, and can anyone else give me any tips on fixing it? How shall acheive my UNIX-Guru status without my precious man pages!? I mean, I just started growing this beard and not showering :-P

But you can't claim ownership to an idea. Information wants to be free!

Re:One Problem:

[Raffaello]

RAID = Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks.

(and no, I don't buy the post hoc redefinition of the acronym as "Independent.")

So, if the disks are not inexpensive, by definition, it isnt RAID. Using expensive disks to do RAID largely defeats the purpose of RAID.

Note also, that so called RAID level 0 isn't really RAID either, since there is no redundancy.

Is it just me, or does everyone here suspect apple is paying OSDN to run OSX stories?
