I don't think you can really say it is negligence, when it is design.

Then it's negligence by design. These are solved problems (e.g., 1+1, 1:1), which do require investment. Maybe that's where the problem is.

You were claiming that "[Adobe] have an EXCELLENT record on is letting you run it anywhere". This source and it's linked bugs show that this is not true for many people. That is what I claim, don't twist my words.

A Flood of Stable Linux Kernels Released 105

Posted by timothy on Wednesday July 07, 2010 @03:11PM from the five-is-better-than-one dept.

Julie188 writes "Greg Kroah-Hartman has released five new stable Linux kernels, correcting minor errors of their predecessors and including improvements which are unlikely to generate new errors. As so often with kernel versions in the stable series, it remains undisclosed if the new versions contain changes which fix security vulnerabilities, although the number of changes and some of the descriptions of those changes certainly suggest that all the new versions contain security fixes."
