Serious Network Function Vulnerability Found In Glibc

So long as we're writing in C, this kind of thing (buffer overflows in particular) will probably continue.

Yea we should write our system libraries in Go and Haskell. Maybe Coffeescript and run them all on node.js?
Get a clue.

Companies that sell locked down machines have artificially low prices, which they hope to make up for by locking you into a long term subscription service tied to the machine. By forcing the machine open, you can use the product without their paid service. So you get a cheap computer and you help bankrupt the evil company. It's a win win.
