arsenic and old bugs
Oh, come on.  When were terminals with block transfer mode first
sold?  (Like Hazeltine 2000's.)  I am surprised that someone is
ignorant enough to go screaming in the mass media that UNIX (a DEC
product, HAH!) has such a devastating security bug.

If someone is willing to publicly execute that writer, I'll buy a ticket.

(Speaking of irresponsibility in the mass media, I don't see anyone
threatening to stop publishing that newspaper because of brutally
irresponsible journalism by one of the writers, netnews gripers take
note.)
