Why do you expect everybody to upgrade right now?
IMHO/. would lose in credibility if it tried to delay this information.
Finally, it's RedHat's problem, not SlashDot's.
I don't condone copyright violation but your arguments are weak.
Show me at least one Linux bigot or zealot, or whoever who can say that GPL is his or her bible!
I haven't seen such people.
Talking about this non-existing GPL-religion is speading FUD.
For me, GPL is just a means to protect my work from being used to restrict somebody's freedom.
Don't fear Linux bigots - they only exist in you mind.
What about copyrights, I don't want to have my freedom restricted because somebody else abuses it.
I especially hate when technical means are used for that.
How can you explain to a port filter that you want music by Bach, who lived centures ago?
The filter will not let you through - it is to dumb to understand.
Also, find a way to get that link to the thousands of people
who are sitting without a personal telnet server (incredibly usefull if you've
got DSL and a static IP) because they can't figure it out.
Yes, it's incredibly useful if you are online all the time,
but a reasonably old sendmail or wu-ftpd will do as well:-)
Hello, Jamie! I do use Lynx. You won't believe me but it's true - I often go to personals sites in Lynx,
select women with photos only and then read their ads.
If I find an interesting ad I either download the picture of start Netscape.
But sometimes I want to see, say, screenshots of Heretic on Palm.
Downloading pictures individually is too much trouble - I want to enjoy them, and complicated downloading process spoils everything.
Then I have to use something like Netscape/Mozilla/Konqueror.
I know, there are Chimera and Arena, but they are so ugly:-(
You can specify the locale using environment variables.
You can even set them remotely using telnet protocol.
Some environment variables can specify the file with translated strings.
Translated strings may contain different formatting characters.
This is really bad for SUID programs that run as root.
Libc must ignore those environment variables for SUID programs but it fails to do so on many OS'es.
That, and only that constructs the vulnerability.
This is not a problem with C, this is a problem with the OS.
If company A sells your data to company B then two companies have your data.
If company A goes bankrupt and sells your data to company B then one company has your data.
Maybe it's not that bad?
Having more passwords increases your chances to catch the bad guy at the spot.
A safe that can be opened in 1 hour is better that one that can be opened in 5 minutes.

It's time to downgrade from Mandrake 7.1!

Well, let's read Slashdot in Lynx. Then banner hits become irrelevant.
Maybe the stories will become more balanced, who knows.
I want "Just a Browser" to view "Just Sites" I frequently visit, not those screwed portals that don't work without JavaScript
Imagine eJudges sitting in eCourts and applying eLaws (and iLaws) to ePeople and eCompanies. What do you, eGeeks and iNerds think?
Please check the facts before making such statements! When was the last time you tried to spoof a message? This bug was fixed a long time ago.
You are not forced you use their distribution. They provide patches against the kernel. Take their kernel and build your distro around.
Their distribution is targeted on developers, not on end users. By the time when real products are shipped there will be an update to the stable 2.4
Telnet protocol can transfer environment variables.
Ever wondered how a remote xterm finds the way to your display?
This is not a problem with C, this is a problem with the OS.
Actually, you can set "Assumed document character set" in Lynx to win-1252 to see the apostrophes.
Please note that they are only making the algorithm public domain, not the source code that implements it.
Anyway, it's great news for all of us.
My favourite by far is:
Parse error: expect unexpected
(I actually saw this while playing with some scripts)
If company A sells your data to company B then two companies have your data. If company A goes bankrupt and sells your data to company B then one company has your data. Maybe it's not that bad?

sudo is more flexible than su
It is a sure sign of the Lord's hand at work, but it's not a sure sign of His work. It may be a sign of Her work as well.

I wonder how they backported security fixes for Netscape.
Perhaps it's not so funny as it's supposed to be...
I wonder if *BSD folks will switch from GCC to Watcom if the later is released under BSD license.
MS SQL is not installed by default either. You have to buy it first.
