No, but im using Mac OS X since 10.4.10 and never had any probelms with "poor memory management", as a matter of fact i'm running 10.6.4 on my iMac for months with 3 accounts (Fast User Swtiching). Currently 3.02 GB of RAM free (out of 4 GB total) and uptime is 63 days.
kick x-bench --code from 2003 -never updated ,never reliable...forget it right now

So taking your advice he would have included:
Which would have supported his point if he said "repairing permissions is an unnecessary step" and certainly supports the idea that repair is a good thing.
I can't find any of these directories or files in Finder.
I can find them in terminal, but I have no idea how to copy the replacement files from my desktop to the appropriate directories and I cannot see the directories in Finder.

I've tried plugging it in and sharing the printer. Nothing. Deleted printers and re added... Nothing. *sigh*
I'm curious to see if it will resolve the bluetooth issue; specifically the inability to turn off the bluetooth on computers with keyboards built in or attached. The warning about inability to control the computer if you continued erroneously appears.
Found out how to do in in Finder using Go > Go To Folder
Good instructions at 9to5Mac.com for those who don't know how to do it in terminal.
Very BIG THANKS to Chuck G too! Well done!

The files are invisible which is why you can't see them. Easiest way to make them visible is to install a widget called "hidden files." Once you do that push the button on the widget and the hidden folders should be visible in the Library folder. From there it's just drag & drop, delete your printer, and restart.
One caveat -- the hidden files widget can be wonky so if your finder disappears don't freak just hit the button again. If you don't want to use the widget then you'll need to type in this command in terminal.
I installed 10.6.5 and now I have network problems!!! Anyone having same problems?
Would you care to elaborate on your oh so vague post? What kind of network problems?
Agree with that post, however I was referring to repairing permissions in general, another poster was referring to repairing permissions before his OS install. I was just agreeing that we script repair permissions before and after every install pkg, mpkg, OS as a safety measure. The person I was referring to was the guy who said "repairing permissions is pointless."
EDIT: Didn't work at first so re did it all and saw I created a folder in Mime instead of replacing two files. Now works wirelessly without being connected to my Mac. Love it

No, it just didn't update you at all. If you look at the build number of OS X, you will see that you are still running the beta. 10H542 in my case. I tried the same thing as you. You will need to get the Reversioner update from someone with a developer account to update from the beta.
That's ridiculous, the combo updates are just fine. The problem this time is that someone posted a fake link that was NOT the real combo update.
Come on. This whole discussion was a response to those insisting that everyone should repair permissions before and after doing an OSX update. In that situation, repairing permissions IS pointless, and it is silly for people to recommend. I don't believe anyone here said that repairing permissions is never useful, when it's a response to someone who has no problems doing it before an OSX update (which does fix permissions as part of the update!), obviously they're talking about doing it before/after an update. Seems like you're trying to dig up an argument where none exists.
Getting into a conversation mid conversation and adding your 2 cents without reading the whole conversation is not a good idea. JQW stated clearing it was pointless. Nowhere did he say it was pointless to do it before installation just a generalization of it being pointless. My response was to him.
Not trolling here (honestly), but this has been bugging me.
This is the 5th update of SL and each release has fixed numerous bugs some blatant, some more esoteric. Why is no one asking the obvious question of why all this time later they're still finding stuff that's broken?
Flame away, but this situation simply doesn't exist with Windows 7. The only updates outside of things like DST updates have been security related...

I agree with you. I also have an issue with 10.6.6 being in development before 10.6.5 is finished. IMHO fix it once I will wait.

So you think that there are basically no outstanding bugs in Windows 7? LOL. Do you use Windows 7?
Quick, call Microsoft, tell them to cancel the service pack.
