    A problem... with a patch? And they announced it? No way... must be one of those infamous typo's. Or maybe just another repeat story...

    I think you might do a little better with your own priorities than trolling /.

  3. Do we count the time that OpenSSH got trojaned? by dave-fu · · Score: 2, Offtopic

    You know. The time that someone thought it would be gnarly to hack OpenBSD's FTP server and trojan the makescripts?
    The folks at OpenBSD still haven't explained how that's happened so we've got six theoretical bugs (which will undoubtedly become reality Real Soon Now) versus an unexplained, but very real, hack, which may or may not manifest itself elsewhere. And as long as we're calling apples and oranges, take a look at the size of the codebase and the amount of functionality of one versus the other.

  4. Slashdot editors are facists by bsDaemon · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Slashdot editors are prjudiced against handy capped people and BSD users. While submitting a story reguarding this handy new technology for deaf people to be able to talk to those who cannont sign, under this account, it got rejected in under 2 minutes. submitting the same story as "I am linus's ho", it is still pending, 10 minutes later. While another "ask slashdot" containing "why yo be playhating" earned me massive downmods in past comments deleiving me karma down from 'excellent' to 'good'. thusly, i conculude that slashdot editors are facist jew haters who hate bsd users and deaf people.

    Who cares about moot points. What I want are some mood points at /. Soft lighting, smooth jazz. Maybe a slowly rotating disco ball...What we're missing here is atmosphere!
