Do you always stick up for people who can't argue their way out of a wet paper bag? The fallacies themselves made the argument too stupid to be worth responding to.
I'll be that guy and point out that in low Earth orbit (indeed, any orbit) we experience *microgravity*, not zero gravity. Nowhere in the universe is gravitational force zero.
No, really. Mastercard and Visa have set the deadline as October 2015. This will be enforced thus: past this date, any merchant that lacks chip-and-PIN readers will be liable for any fraudulent transactions; contrariwise, if the person's bank hasn't issued a chip-and-PIN card but the merchie has a C-and-P reader the bank will be liable.

2.6.32 is still being updated, probably because that's the version in current RHEL and so Red Hat's willing to help. None of the other 2.6 kernels still are.
If that's what TFA meant then that's what it should have said. As to the summary, instead of "the 2.6 version" (quoting TFA) it should have said something like "many Linux kernels in the 2.6 series", which would at least have not sounded so naively ignorant.
Since TFA didn't bother clearly saying what versions are vulnerable (except, as you assert, in the comments) then it wasn't worthy of a/. post, which is my whole fucking point. English, motherfucker, do you speak it?
I did read the article, actually. My point stands: in the mythical olden days of Slashdot, this post wouldn't have happened, because not only was the summary crap, so was the article.

Perkele!

This place has more than its share of doctrinaire libertarians and anarcho-capitalists, so I guarantee you'll be hearing from somebody.

Argue better.
Which of course excuses Americans from changing anything, amirite?
It was a /great/ article for Slashdot, though, because it let nerds get their rage on for nothing, again, and drove page clicks.
Pffffft. It's not even Dice, this place was like that before Dice.
You must be new here. It's posted blatant and sensationalist FUD many times before, just not necessarily Linux-oriented.
It's because these people speak Party orthodoxy and can be relied upon to keep politically-inconvenient science tied up.
groaaaaaaan
FTP is not even in the same league of functionality or convenience, to say nothing of security. OwnCloud would be a more reasonable solution.
You should have used APK's hosts.txt.
I don't miss those days when every goddamn post on 1 April was an unfunny joke.

Would it have killed you to post a link that backs up your assertion?
This time for sure!

That's going to change next year.
But it trashes Tesla, so it's worth a post.
Follow these directions to set up Tor obfuscated bridges and give them a path around the censorship:

I'm sorry, I can't hear you through all the cocks in your mouth.

In other words, the article is content-free clickbait.

That's exactly my point. "The 2.6 version" is meaningless and Soulskill should have known better; there's a huge difference between 2.6.0 and 2.6.39.
