Microsoft To Release 6 Fixes On December 12th, 2006

Posted by on Dec 8, 2006 | 3 Comments

Microsoft has sent out a advanced notification for six security updates it will be making available next Tuesday, December 12th, 2006. Though the notification does not indicate what will be patched, it will, we hope, include one for the most recent flaws. This will bring a total of 77 fixes or patches released thus far for 2006.

It is highly recommended that Windows users get the updates when they are released to maintain the security of their systems.

Microsoft goes on to say:

“As part of the monthly security bulletin release cycle, Microsoft provides advance notification to our customers on the number of new security updates being released, the products affected, the aggregate maximum severity and information about detection tools relevant to the update. This is intended to help our customers plan for the deployment of these security updates more effectively.”

    The person who said that about the world ending was “supposedly” basing things on the bible. To get a more accurate reading from a biblical perspective if anyone read the bible themselves they would know and read this from St Matthew’s gospel chapter 24 verse 36:
    “No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
    .. so in the end.. I guess the guy skipped over that verse in his bible…

      Everyone in my church kept talking about this, and you’re not the first person I’ve seen comment on it. It reminds me of Luke 10:21, where Jesus talks about God hiding things from the wise and prudent, and revealing them unto babes.

    The doomsday folks are just a half-bubble off plumb IMO.

    But what you’re talking about is something we “Preppers” call the “Normalcy Bias”. Water has always come from the faucet, so it always will. Food has always come from the grocery store, so it always will. I have always had the freedoms guaranteed me by the United States Constitution, so I always will, and on, and on.

    Compared to World History, or even that of the United States, our lives are short. Since we have never known anything different, we tend to believe things will always be the same, aka “It can’t happen here!”. While a total nuclear exchange or an asteroid hit are highly unlikely, it remains to be seen how all of the other smaller events (political, natural, terrorist) will effect our quality of life in the future.
