Patch Tuesday, the shirt

PictureT-shirts emblazoned with hacker jokes are popular here at the Black Hat Briefings in Las Vegas. ("I read your e-mail," goes one.) But the contingent from eEye Digital Security, known for finding vulnerabilities in software from Microsoft and others, appears is particularly coordinated -- sporting custom shirts with a reference to Microsoft's regular security patch distribution, on the second Tuesday of every month. One of the eEye guys let me snap a photo.

For those of us who aren't entirely SHUT-IN NERDS, this is also a reference to "SEE (C) YOU (U) NEXT (N) TUESDAY (T)."

I think you know where to go from there... no? (here's a hint for the shutins, the letters in the parentheses make a word! A very insulting and derogatory word).

WinDork... your post is lame. The T-Shirt is obviously a slight towards Microsoft. MS has received considerable heat for acknowledging and allowing holes to fester all in the name of maintaining the Tuesday patch schedule.

Look in the mirror when you refer to "shut-in nerds" because only someone like you could make a double entendre out of this.

The joke has been on going longer than most of you have been alive. Heck, even Seth McFarlane has brought it back recently! In one of the episodes of "American Dad" where the alien becomes a secretary for Stan's wife, he's on the phone and says "I've gotta go, the boss is being a real "see you next tuesday."

And in an episode of Family Guy the poster on the wall in the episode where Meg tries to be a reads Alliance: Catch You Next Tuesday" - a direct play on the letter "C" instead of the word "See."

It's not my fault you don't know crude humor and double entendre. I was just bringing it to everyone's attention.

The word for "female " (woman who loves women) seems to have been auto-edited out of my post. Interesting. But so be it, after "meg tries to be a" and before the word "alliance."

Winbreak, get a life (get a mac)

I dont think we needed the history behind the joke.

Also, going by your description of the word being edited out, are you sure you know what a female is?

you windows wetboys do get on my nerves

PictureMicrosoft, you really need to start looking for revenue elsewhere. Resorting to bribing users to use your products and services is just plain embarrassing.
