Please stop what you're doing and call your local BSA office. The product you're using did not come with a box and is therefore pirated. Stay where you are and remain calm. The police will arrive shortly.
The short answer is yes. If you're running anything previous to 3.7[p1], your version is affected.
It may not be -vulnerable- at this moment due to the you've got it configured (I don't know if this is the case or not, just an example).
Chew on this, though: do you really want to have to go through all of the old security advisories each time you make a config change to see if what you're doing could open you up to a really old vulnerability?
Patch now so it doesn't come back to bite you later! =)
Care to back that up with some evidence? $dudeWhoAnsweredThePhone at Red Hat a while back told me they were still going to release the free stuff, just not support it for nearly as long as they have been.
Let me get this straight... people love package tracking when sending via UPS or FedEx, but when a USPS item is tracked, it's a violation of privacy? FedEx and UPS both show me each distribution center my package hits along the way.
Surely your LPs are still under warranty... why not return them to the manufacturer for a replacement?
Eh? You didn't get a warranty on them?
Physical things deteriorate. They can break. Purchasing one doesn't necessarily mean you're entitled to its benefits for life - there probably wasn't a little amendment to the Bill of Rights tucked into the sleeve. Do you make the same noise when a lightbulb burns out and you have to shell out a couple of bucks to replace it?
It seems that after a federal judge ruled in April that file-sharing services have legal uses and thus should not be shut down, the RIAA has found that it must go after individual users rather than the services that they use.
Er, isn't this a good thing? Isn't that what we (read: the slashdot hive mind) want? Don't punish the technology, punish the people who use it to break the law, and all...
> wonder if this waiting is affecting their sales figures
No, probably not. Schmucks like me who bought three different versions of the first movie probably offset those who are saving themselves for the ultramegaplatinumific boxed set. =)
What about my order confirmations? I'm never quite certain what e-mail address they'll use as the from. Maybe they have an e-mail order tracking system and they use a unique from: for each order. Talk about a TMDA nightmare... especially if the implementation is out of your own geeky hands (read: controlled by the ISP).
You know this'll be like those damned child-proof caps on medicine bottles. In your average (read: non-geek) household, who do you think will be the first to figure out how to setup the browser? Certainly not Mom and Dad!
Losing, in Tyson's case, involved dealing with Don King for several months and then getting pummeled. Losing to a chess computer involves getting out of a (most likely) comfy chair, taking a bow, and waiting for the direct deposit.

And what's more, when you start running programs that use more than 2GB of data
Oh, Please. We all know we'll never ever need more than 640k.
Pot here. You are black! I repeat: You are black!

Yeah, now if only we could get them to read the -articles- too...
We -are- at a terrorism level of "Taupe" in the US. That means the "authorities" can do whatever they want to whomever they want. God bless taupe.

Do you seriously think that the nude women would still be there after the state was taken over by millions of geeks? C'mon...
> How many months did the nimda and code red viruses stay with us because people didn't bother updating their software.
Not sure... I'll tell you when they've actually gone away.
Yes... It's one of the more interesting posts to come across alt.chinchilla in ages.

I'd say the gain is proportional.
...with bonus points awarded for being able to do so in response to a finger request.
Microsoft told me it was because of piracy!
I guess it's time to call Apple and start the screenplay for my 'Switch' commercial.
There -is- an upside, though... at least I'll get a really good Aqua interface. I haven't been able to get close enough with gtk/sawfish/gnome. =)
Yes, but these ports were on the console machine itself. This one's on the TV.
Bend Over... Here It Comes Again!
I highly encourage you to use this acronym at work.
Bonus points if you can use it while talking to your boss/manager about something he recently did to screw you over.

Seriously, if it's ever come across usenet, you can find it here. It's come in handy for some extremely arcane error messages and the like.
It looks like the actual text is just reversed, not mirrored. Holding a mirror up to this won't make it much easier to read.
