    "A Beautiful Mind" was easily the best movie of the year. It's very rare that a movie gets me really involved on an emotional level, but that one definitely did. I left the theater sort of stunned.

    None of the other movies I saw this year had anywhere near that kind of impact, FOTR included.

    Your film criticism is shallow, unimpressive, and obvious.

    Lord of the Rings was certainly grand, but that's no reason to hold anything against it. Memento was intricate, precise, and breathtakingly structured, but it had its holes.

    Quite frankly, Josh, this is emblematic of your bias towards movies in general, and that of most middlebrow moviegoers-- that if it's popular, it can't be *that* good.

    Beyond that, your taste in movies fluctuates too wildly to be anything other than a curiosity, you spend too much time in the shower, and the sweater you're wearing today is ugly.

    I mean, geezus, what is it with you? You grouchy little bitch. You're gonna be hanging around your shitty apartment all night, thinking to yourself "Where is my life going?" without actually stepping out the front door and doing anything about your quasi-existential problems.

    PACKAGE : glibc
    SUMMARY : glibc glob buffer overflow
    DATE : 2002-01-03 11:45:00
    ID : CLA-2002:447
    RELEVANT
    RELEASES : 5.0, prg graficos, ecommerce, 5.1, 6.0, 7.0

    DESCRIPTION
    The GNU C Library (glibc) is the standard library used by almost any
    program in a common linux system.

    There is a buffer overflow[1] discovered by Flávio Veloso in the
    glibc's glob() function. By triggering this vulnerability[2], an
    attacker could make a program which uses that function execute
    arbitrary code.

    SOLUTION
    All users should upgrade.

    Notice that all potentially vulnerable programs (the ones which use
    the glob() function) must be restarted after the new packages are
    installed. Also notice that if that program is staticaly linked
    against glibc, it must be recompiled to use the new glob() function.

  19. Slashdot moderation... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    ...is a funny thing. I've seen perfectly legit comments modded down as trolls. Anything Christian or even remotely liberal is usually modded down as flamebait. Are Slashdot viewers so closed minded and anal in their views that they can't take a second to accept the fact that someone else might have a *valid* differing opinion without those opinions being trolls or flames?
    Whether this comment was a troll or not isn't the point. It seems as though every post that goes against the grain, or the Slashdot clique, is instantly tossed aside.
    Fucking christ people, you're just as ignorant and intolerant as the folks over at K5.
    Oh, God forbid (-1 flamebait) Tolkien's belief structure trickle down into the many facets of his writing. You people would be scraping your tongues if you learned that a major staple in your geek culture was derived from Christian beliefs(-2 Lalala, can't hear yooooou). Better mod down any mention that THAT might be true as well (-1 sweep under carpet).
    It's no wonder the Open Source crowd is looked upon in a negative light(+1 true dat). You come off as a bunch of prejudice, right-wing lunatics because that's exactly how you act(-1 Shit, they're on to us!).
    It's just funny how Slashdot moderation reflects this so perfectly and completely, and how the more intelligent viewers choose not to post anymore.
