Why do some people have a problem with the .10? I don't get it. If not 10.4.10, what would they call it?
Got a tip for us?

No, Spotlight keeps each volume's index on the volume itself, so it could well indeed be writing to the volume. That's why Spotlight only returns results for currently connected volumes and that's also why a disk doesn't need reindexing just because it gets connected to another machine.

Spotlight (the application) probably wouldn't care about files being pulled from under it. It might even (assuming the db it stores its data in is reasonably atomic -- I believe it's SQLite, which I have no first-hand experience with) be fine with its own database going missing in action. However, it's still one of those things I'd rather there be a 100% safe solution for, including all possible edge-cases.
The only real difference between these two processors is the C2Ds added i64 instructions. Isn't it?
My MBP seems to be running cooler than normal, it's now idling @ 39 degrees . used to be around 46 degrees *okay, i just have it 2 days, but just something i noticed*.
Okay things I've noticed so far:
- When you press the power button, it used to highlight RESTART as the secondary keyboard option. Now it only highlights Shut Down.
- Growl doesn't seem to work very well any more. Messages are shown with images as usual in Adium, but no text is shown.

Oh Apple, why do you torture me so? As soon as I send in my computer to get fixed you release an impossibly numbered update. I won't have the pleasure of updating until at least tomorrow. 
10.4.9 SP 1?
10.4.9 SP 1?
I am thinking that it is because .10 is not a real number. .10 is the same as .1
Although I don't usually know what I am talking about so I could be wrong.
From the looks of things here, I guess I'll check permissions and so forth before running the update, just to see what's what in that regard. The app not opening thing is alarming, but whatever, I'll eventually have to do this anyway. Oh man the Macbook is gonna have a full evening. First all the updates, then upgrading the harddrive. Busy busy busy
And finally, the .10 argument is dead.

10.4.9 SP 1?
are we really suppose to do that? i heard that unless you are dealing with a os 9 and os x on the same drive, then you should be repairing permissions, otherwise it doesn't help or hinder
This is one of those things that some people swear by and other never bother with. I fall into the camp that never does it, however if you are going to do it, make sure you boot your computer from the install disk and run the repair permissions from there. Running it while already running OS X doesn't so much since you can repair the permissions of files that are already open.
Hope that helps.
Someone forgot to repair their disk permissions and zap their PRAM.
vas?? I did repair disk permissions, like a good user
Version numbering system =/= decimal number system.
A software version is structured as such: major.minor[.revision[.build]]
In other words, the new patch is Mac OS major version 10, minor version 4, revision 10. Mac OS 10.4.10
And for anyone that wants to debate that...please point out to me a valid number in the decimal system with TWO or more decimal points.
i heard some say that zero isn't a number but this is the first time i've heard anyone say ten isn't a number
I've noticed this so often with Mac owners here, the minute any type of update goes around you have about half the thread with paranoid people talking about how worried they are about it.
Pulled all the plugs, repaired disk permissions, booted in safe mode- still no access to the admin account. I am beginning to become ....alarmed. Perhaps it is my turn to be struck by lightning.

They should just have gone with rhyme "10.4.0A... Hexidecimal saves the day!"
