freedom of the press?
how about just freedom?

Kill?

Maybe I missed the part of the article where the car explodes if you are late.

Grave bodily injury? If the car doesn't start? You must be talking about some obvious every-day occurrence like escaping zombies or a North Korean Infantry body wave. Much less-often for sure as when someone wants to run to the local store for some milk.

The alternative MIGHT be to not lend money to people with bad credit scores. Would THAT be better? Or you want your cake and eat it too, right? Laws forcing banks to lend to people who don't pay back so well, and laws forcing banks to suck it up when they don't get paid back. Because fuck banks, we can get more votes from people who don't like paying bills and want free cars.

People lining up for free shit, and voting for whoever keeps the free shit coming... you don't call THEM sheep. Of course, call the rest of US sheep.

Not being given a car is the same as slavery?

How far we have come.

yes.

access to tax-subsidized, single-payer, webste-brokered, government enforced, individual mandate, high-quality automobiles is a basic human right!

the car doesn't belong to the driver, it belongs to whoever holds title.

SSH into your host.
from the bash prompt just paste the above string.

i.e.
user@host $env x='() { :;}; echo vulnerable' bash -c "echo this is a test"

--------------------
If you see:
vulnerable
this is a test
Then you are vulnerable and need to update your system.

If all you see is:
this is a test

Then you are ok.

I too was suspicious of that fork-bomb potential. So the first time I ran it was on a test-vm.

I'm glad I am not the only paranoid one.

Every mass-use CMS has had exploits. Even wtihout the plugin exploit problems.

did I just hear some relevent news on slashdot before i saw it on twitter?

today is a bright, shiney day!

Doesn't this sound like using an elephant gun to try to kill a fruit fly?

as soon as i heard this I thought of that geenie joke from the boondock saints...
...IT guy goes, "You mean to tell me Russia is off the Internet?"
    Genie goes, "Yeah."
    He says, "Well, um, I'll have a Coke, then."

Very similar results with me too, although for me that effect waited until I was 35'ish.

Plural of anecdote = data?

I wonder if this will silence or encourage the separatists that want Quebec to leave Canada?

If you really want to save your data:

Step 1: make a ZFS array and save your data there.
Step 2: copy the data to single hard-drives and store them in a different location then home.
Step 3: upload a copy to some online 'cloud storage' provider.

Use checksums/md5 hashes to determine data integrity.

Based on your budget pick any of the above 3. If you are paranoid, do all 3.
