We are patched against Shellshock

There was no down time.

For those who are wondering, what Shellshock is:

If we distill Shellshock into the simplest terms, it's a vulnerability in Bash — system software used by millions upon millions of computers that opens up the possibility that an attacker could execute arbitrary commands on any machine running it.

So we are protected against the latest and greatest electronic it vulnerability (similar to the "heart bleed" vulnerability of a few months ago?), great! Although I don't fully understand the scope it sounds like you helped us dodge a missile or a bunch of them, thank you.

I don't understand a word of what you just said. But it sounds like we've done good against evil. So that's good, I think. thanks for keeping us up and running.

Can we use the footballs against them? Someone was going to build or buy a cannon!

When I saw the thread title I immediately thought about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Sounds like something that would be in their cartoons.

Its a good thing. I wouldn't want Decepticons having their way with our boats.

True, but that is one heck of a football delivery cannon that deception is wielding!

Thanks, I expect that there will be several patches before this is finished.
