Patch your system to prevent child processes

Wednesday, Nov 21, 2001

The FDA today approved a contraceptive patch. A patch a week for three weeks, then one week off.

Sounds like life is imitating tech. I wonder if they'll release patches to stop recently discovered viruses or worms. Still, a patch that prevents the spawning of child processes is really pretty cool.

Okay, so I really just wrote this post to help the story make it to the top of blogdex.
