I wasn't aware Torvalds uses G+, shame on him for doing so. The comment was more about the absurd policies the user signs off on to use the service more than the lack of source code, not that that isn't an issue.
HN being closed source is a bummer. I respect a webmasters choice to refrain from publishing server side code. But considering most of the content discussed on HN, it is hypocritical. As unethical as HN is from a FOSS standpoint, I can't turn away from a site where the user-base falls on the right side of a bell curve for I.Q. Too good to pass up.
Apple didn't make the patch they just repackaged it. That's five days to write a dozen lines of script to update the shell. Every single GNU/Linux distro was patched the day of, get real.
>I felt it was 50/50 that they'd update it vs. remove/disable it.
Remove it for what ash/sh? Tim Cook doesn't know a megabit from a megabyte, let alone a shell. That pencil pusher doesn't care about his users, only the money. This was only patched for PR. Still no sight of it on the automatic updates list.
