I'm curious as to why their patches are soooooo large.

Finally, the 10.2.3 update is installed, and the above measurements are repeated.
Data: (10.2)
Trial 1:
Boot time: 28.452 seconds
ICBM: 1.989 bounces
Trial 2:
Boot time: 26.985 seconds
ICBM: 1.687 bounces
Trial 3:
Boot time: 27.189 seconds
ICBM: 2.176 bounces
Trial 4:
Boot time: 25.923 seconds
ICBM: 1.878 bounces
Data: (10.2.3)
Trial 1:
Boot time: 22.785 seconds
ICBM: 1.373 bounces
Trial 2:
Boot time: 24.873 seconds
ICBM: 1.284 bounces
Trial 3:
Boot time: 22.291 seconds
ICBM: 1.262 bounces
Trial 4:
Boot time: 25.843 seconds
ICBM: 1.348 bounces
It is observed that the average boot time for 10.2 is 27.137 seconds, with an average ICBM of 1.932 bounces. On the other hand, 10.2.3 yields an average boot time of 23.948 seconds, with an average of 1.317 bounces. Clearly, 10.2.3 is faster in all cases.
This intensive analysis has led me to the only conclusion that may be derived from these results: there are no plastics that require waxing for the optimal frisbee density. Further analysis may be required in order to determine the optimal frisbee color, however.

Yeah! Apple used the trivial patch I made for the kernel and even plugged me in the announcement! :-D
