OpenBSD Stomping On Buffer Overflows

A reader writes:"There's a story on ZDNet that describes how Theo de Raadt & co. are hoping to eliminate buffer-overrun exploits for good. On closer inspection, it's a scheme to stop a buffer-overrun leading to executable code. It doesn't stop the buffer-overrun itself."

    Great! You all fuckin bitch about how Linux is oh-so-safe every time there's another improvement to OpenBSD! Then why the fuck Linux fuckin chearleaders can't say that there was absolutely no security hole in the last six years in the Linux OS? You know why? Because there were tons of fucking truck size holes, that's why! Now please stop bitching about every innovation in OpenBSD, until your beloved Linus Torvlads make his OS as secure as OpenBSD is today. Until then, please shut the fuck up, because you seem to know jack shit about security.
