hmmmm...me thinks you might be onto something thereQuote:
One dictionary that does deal with "mook" is the recently published Volume Two of the excellent Random House Historical Dictionary of American Slang (which I will call "HDAS" to save space). According to HDAS, "mook" means "an ineffectual, foolish, or contemptible person."
Wrong tense.... :DQuote:

many of the "holes" that are common to the desktop OS's and even previous server OS's have been disabled by default. I usualy spend a couple of hours tweaking and configuring various security issues to plug holes, but had few to do on the new OS....
As for the update... a kb ## would have been great... Good thing i've turned off auto-updating...
