Sure. I would not really *greatly* care about tech sites password. I would be (was) concerned about my 'money' sites. The sites had to used openssl. Which would be any Apache and another one that I can not recall at the moment.
But? This time the 'ten feet tall and bullet proof because I use Linux' Bull$$hit failed. This one is Linux centered. Period. A programer created this and added it to the code. And 'free and a no money' supported program mistake not caught for about two years.
You know OpenSSL is not Linux? And that IIS could equally have had this bug? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_Red_%28computer_worm%29 (also a good reminder for anyone who thinks vulnerabilities in the news is news)
It's also not true:
A group of nice people working part time for nothing. No real resources. People with real jobs that pay. Families. And 'part time support'. I tip my hat but? Sad.
OpenSSL do support contracts and many of the developers offer consultancy services. Painting it as something done as a part-time hobby is a bit misleading. (And why 'sad' exactly? Also N.B. it's often an insult in British English)
Wow! Really?? Then you really need to talk to everyone that is saying that. Now!!
Thought I'd provide the information. Do with it what you will.
Although I am not British, I thought I was reasonably well-informed about British colloquialisms, and I am unaware of "sad" being used as an insult. I guess that to call someone a "sad case" is an insult, but "sad" on its own is different.
Are you sure you didn't mean "sod"? :-)
