The long and the short of it is that the packets that are sent when using WEP give away enough about the key used to encrypt them, that after monitoring a few thousand (I think) packets, you can can reconstruct the key.

Well some believe that patching files it worse than just copying new ones.
I'd guess its true but if anythings not working then do it, if everything is fine leave it.
It's not that one is worse than the other generally speaking. It's that Apple seem to consistently fudge up the patching 
If a Microsoft update breaks something, you certainly hear about it but you don't hear people complaining for the past few years (getting SP2/3 via Windows Update can be a delta update). Makes you wonder what's going on at Apple

I've never had a single problem with a apple or windows update. I think it might come down to user error

Famous last words
I did wonder that, so I checked when I formatted and reinstalled OS X. All I did was install OS X then instantly download the updates through software update and I was still getting SUID errors in the permissions repair window.
I should stop moaning though, all is good in Mac Land at the moment
