    Thanks for the useless link. Anyone with a link to an actual advisory, LKML post, lwn, etc that might have some actual information in it?

    A link.

    You were given a link, obviously, and an explanation, but as usual you prefer to play the flocktard and ignore reality. It's always more convenient to wrap yourself in your Stallman blanket. When are you going to stop "evangelizing" and start thinking for a change?

    I don't trust you.

    BTW, I predict it's just a matter of time before the mod pool wises up to your sockpuppet account and starts dishing out the love you get with your "normal" account.
