That's what you think...

muahhahah...
muahhahaahha....

Hmm, let me see here...

[skoal@phrakture home]$ cd phrakture
[skoal@phrakture phrakture]$ cd .private
[skoal@phrakture .private]$ ls
diary  grocery.lst  slashdot  slashdot~  i<3M$.sxw
[skoal@phrakture .private]$ cd diary
[skoal@phrakture diary]$ ls
1004  1104  1204  0105  0205
[skoal@phrakture diary]$ cd 0205
[skoal@phrakture 0205]$ ls
01.txt  03.txt  05.txt  07.txt  09.txt  11.txt
02.txt  04.txt  06.txt  08.txt  10.txt  today
[skoal@phrakture 0205]$ cat today
I had my usual for breakfast this morning, roasted toast, an orange smoothie,
and "AlphaBits". I'm still having a little trouble spelling out "arch" in my
bowl. The closest I've gotten so far is "zarchi".  Maybe I need to switch to
whole milk.  The dumb letters won't keep still for too long in skim.
Before I went to work, I dropped the latest hacked EEPROM into my Honda Insight
Hybrid. I'm topping off at 35 HP now, and I could really feel it going down
the ramp onto I-65.  Sweet...

Well, I shaved my chest and legs again today.  All the people at work keep
asking me about it, but so far, they're still buying the story I'm training for
a swim meet.  Suckers...

At lunch, I stopped by CompUSA to buy some DVD-Rs.  I'm running out
of disk space from all those "exercise" videos me and Julie keep making. 
On my way back to work, I stopped off at Kentucky Fried Chicken for a
quicky.  Sure enough, I found another rat in my bucket.  Underneath all
the crust, you could see his tail bent backwards under his belly.  They didn't
even bother cutting it off this time.

Anyways, I got TIVO set to record the latest episode of DigiMon at 5.  I can't
wait to get home...

I forgot about including Digimon from that anime thread in OT.  Comeon man, you know you were hooked on that 'toon just like me.

By the way, since I had some fun at your expense, I dropped a file on your "/home" partition while I was there.  I left some of my credit card numbers in a file called "cc.txt".  Feel free to use the MBNA visa one as often as you like.  I got it from a guy named "Underhill" running an insecure Win box.

Re: Linux Kernel vulnerability

This doesn't seem to be covered in the -as patchset quite yet.

Though it would be nice to see the stock kernel upgraded from -as2 to -as6 sometime soon.

Re: Linux Kernel vulnerability

My apologies for polluting this thread, to those actually looking for security notices.  Originally, it was a joke just to see if anyone ever visited the "security" forum.  It had a total of ~189 posts, the fewest of all the old forums.  Now, the moderators combined the forum with another I see.  Feel free to erase what you need to Mr. Moderator man...
