[...] In the last episode we talked about Apple patching the Quicktime vulnerability. We also did not know if the patch would have to be manually downloaded and installed by users or if Apple would push it in updates. I got the answer to that question tonight by accident. [...]

thanx Mike, It was just a wacky idea. Having worked in the educational system as a sys-admin it was always pretty hard to explain these abstract things to my “board of principals”. I sure wish I had packed garden back then.

Ps : If you could turn the peer-to-peer plant into pott, I would be a planetary dealer right now. The thing is all over the place

@Eric, I completely understand you where very embarrassed about the clippy porn thing. I know that in reality you where actually on that site to listen to the sound clips where he says he’s into kinky clowns.

@Eric Now that is even funnier… Yeah we loved it. We even named the episode after it! Sorry about that. The RSS feed for del.icio.us is like email - once tagged you can’t “un-tag” it. Sure you can delete the tag and link in your del.icio.us but the feed has long indexed the tag and I have it… Haw haw haw

Thanks for your support and encouragement. We really appreciate you putting the effort in with the tags and listening to the show. Thank you.

One could say they beat me to the punch. Or you could say I was not making the word up, but it IS in the urban dictionary :

…”used to describe a seemingly endless stream of pop-up windows appearing on ones computer screen while looking at pornographic websites.

Use : “I almost got busted by my boss at work for looking at porn. I had to turn off my computer off because I got swept off in a fucking pornado!”

Shouldn’t “pornado” go into Urban Dictionary rather than Wikipedia?

great show guys.
