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?

Macs have no vulnerabilities, thats why people buy them....Right guys?.....RIGHT??

No, most of us just want another overpriced peripheral for our iPods.

Yeah im gettin trolled for that....

Just a hunch, but I'll bet most of your troll mods come from your sig.

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?

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".

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.

Because then they would run out of room for the other stories.

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.

Mine displayed a clear dialog box, containing the message 'The new software requires that you restart your computer now. Click restart to quit all applications and restart. ', so this is hardly a fault with Macs, and more a case of your bride not paying attention.

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!

He said passion not possession.

There is a subtle difference.
