Onwards! To the airport and adventure! And this rather lachrymose Linux screen

The picture shows a login prompt so the machine is presumably still accessible. Is this the case when Windows crashes?

Also, let's say an update from a software repo is required to fix whatever service fell over there, could you do this on Windows without using a 3rd party tool like Chocolatey?

Xombrero browser replacement

Somewhat ironic but how about this:

lynx -dump https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/midori | grep sha256sums

Patch NOW: Six new bugs found in OpenSSL – including spying hole

Unaffected by this OpenSSL issue perhaps, but IE and Office feature again in this month's Patch Tuesday announcement (https://technet.microsoft.com/library/security/ms14-jun) with two critical remote exec vulnerabilities. BTW, my OpenSSL is already patched - stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

Linux distros fix kernel terminal root-hole bug

On perusing the ChangeLog for 3.14.4 (released the day before this article was written) it seems this issue was fixed. In any event the featured 0day is not working here on 3.13.9 or 3.14.2. Not having a go at the writer of the article but I am sticking my finger in the eye of that anon twat with so much time on his hands. BTW, that Internet Explorer Memory Corruption Vulnerability (CVE-2014-1776) seems to be quite popular with China's APT1. ;-p

Ubuntu penguins strain to squeeze out bug backlog by mobe OS deadline

Re: S.O.S.S.: SAME OLD SHUTTLEWORTH SH*T

The only bullshit unleashed on the world w.r.t. noobuntu tablets was your fatuous blathering.

Die-hard bug bytes Linux kernel for second time

Hello grsec

"No doubt, Linux fans will be quick to point out that the bug can be exploited only by those with a valid account on a targeted machine in the first place."

Nope, but I'd like to point out that this doesn't work on a grsec-patched kernel (just tried it on 2.6.34.6-grsec). Let's see you preempt that one.

Linux police offer deviant Android return from exile

@Tom38

LLVM started as a uni research project. Apple hired one of the leads and proceeded to use LLVM in their own dev tools. Where did Webkit come from BTW?

In this respect Google and Apple are no different, so don't kid yourself or try to kid us.

Ubuntu v iTunes: the music playoff for Applephobes

@Doug

I have an RaLink 2500 wireless card in this box and it just works in Linux. I had to stfw for a Win7 driver though. I guess your OS can't do everything for you when you're just plain ignorant.

Linux IRC server leaves backdoor open

Fail article

Wow, someone was so eager to upset those linux fanbois that they didn't get round to checking what the software is for in the first place. Luckily some similarly ignorant commentards came to keep him company.
