A nasty local kernel vulnerability

One of the unfortunate consequences of posting in a style guaranteed to offend people and piss them off is that one will offend people and piss them off. Wishing that this didn't happen will not change it: one cannot reprogram the social instinct of everyone with whom one interacts. Eventually, PaXTeam may learn this (or start to care that it happens and dooms him to perpetual Cassandrahood), though I don't hold out much hope.
