Bit of a rocket scientist, is he?

I don't care if every Mac product...
Having recently got broadband and finally updated the software on my eMac: did Apple never actually do a daylight savings update for 10.3.9?
I know someone else already wrote one, but that is rather a steel-brush to the white plastic of my affection for the brand.

Just as a tidbit of info, the Roc*RoI risk assement tool corrections uses is intended to assess future risk of reoffending using objective data, based on past statisitics.
(There was a bit of a kerfuffle about the inclusion of maoriness as a risk factor coupla years ago)
Average reoffending as against avaerage Roc*RoI score might be considered a fair measure of a prison's rehabilitative skillz.

Collin's Press Release was, I assumed, tacitly in response to the corrections union court action.
My impression is the idea behind that is: The union has agreed to double bunking in th past, but on negotiated terms (for example, more staff on duty - which they may currently find hard to come by); the idea that such things would be negotiated is in their contract. But in this case, there hasn't been the negotiation.
Principally, it introduces a whole new layer of risk-laden decisions.
Or, looked at statistically, just directly more dangerous for everyone, including the staff.

Just remembered a story about Dr Johnson and David Garrick. The explicitness of the words depend on who reported the story, but Boswell has Johnson saying:
I'll come no more behind your scenes, David; for the silk stockings and white bosoms of your actresses excite my amorous propensities
