If IIS bugs are "Windows bugs", then this is certainly a "Linux bug".

IIS bugs are 'Microsoft' bugs -- because MS *makes* IIS. IIS bugs are not 'Windows' bugs.

And this is not a Linux bug. Man, you really have to be kidding, right? You at least know that much, don't you?

Ask yourself -- with this bug, can you attack the OS itself? The answer is *no*. This is not an OS vulnerability.

I'm beginning to wonder about ya'll. Are you seriously trying to claim this as a Linux bug?

Batchmo Logic is like that joke about the two guys lost in the woods. Finally, the one with the map looks up, and exclaims that he knows where they are. The other guy asks where are we, and the map guy points to his map, then points to the horizon, and says, "See that mountain? We're right on top of it!"

All your cloying little pocket-strokes notwithstanding, the fact remains that countless Linux admins are having flakey $#!+$ tonight because their systems were compromised by an open-source OS component.

Call me skeptical, but somehow, I doubt that your gloating -- in the face of their agony -- would be received with welcome arms tonight.

But hey, WTF do I know? Maybe you really should hop on the ol' bandwagon and remind them all that their systems are impregnable, and there's nothing to worry about.

After you calm them down, you'll have their attention, so you can let them know how Java crapplications never crash, and run like greased bats with JATO pods fleeing from Hell Heights with a strong tailwind.
