I am not a C guru, but that is not a vulnerability as far as I know. Just a regular bug which might be nasty in some circumstances when one uses async NFS. I for one hope that those mmap() vulnerabilities have been fixed properly in the last few releases.
Sure. Just choose for example a country from Northern Europe. Sweden, Iceland, Norway, Finland. Now, we don't have such things as governments listening to our calls, emails or such (yet, of course they might come, must be awake) without court order. DMCA, Patriot Act, you know, you read Slashdot. These countries don't have that kind of legislation. And, members of UN, of course. Swizerland might be just a tiny bit more free.
Quote: "President Kennedy pointed America to the New Frontier. That frontier has advanced to Mars. It is time for President Bush to ensure that humanity's new frontier will enjoy constitutional freedom rather than U.N. despotism."
Am I the only one thinking constitutional freedom isn't as big thing as international agreements on Freedom and Rights in Space? Not even mentioning how many freedoms americans have already lost...Well, World Cop U.S might soon be The Cop of The Universe [tm].
Just one question. Anybody tell me how these babes are powered? Still thinkin this is vapor. Not to mention other problems this tech has, I don't get how they make a battery out of paper...

I'm no expert in privacy laws in Europe, but generally, I think such "spying" would be illegal in most countries. The laws protect one's right to decide if one wants to be seen in public. In Finland, where I live, it's a quite fine line.
For example, you can watch your neighbors in the window for the whole day if you want, but if you use binoculars, or a camera with zoom, you'd be disturbing their right to privacy.
So I think it's quite same with other situations, you aren't allowed to record or to use technical devices to spy on people.
The other point is that why anyone would want to see such material...
Yeah, I know that. But I assume you're meaning the U.S., right? I live in Europe and there was quite a mess recently when some European governments realized how the whole information flow is being watched by e.g. the Echelon.
So, my point was that no one should post such posts that state "we're safe here, nothing can come here and hurt us". It's plain stupid, like rabbit hiding his head in bushes.
First of all, define $here. If you by that mean the Western countries, I truly hope that the last sentence was sarcasm. If people start to think like that, they won't notice when they're in the same situation as in Russia.
Maybe that's just what has lead them to this point: Indifference.
