replace their processors??
"Had they known, CERT could have advised people that patches were available but instead initially recommended those affected should replace their processors."
Sorry, but is that serious/genuine advice? Even if CERT hadn't known it's not a trivial matter to just replace processors in Christ knows how many millions of machines, especially when some of said machines may require a specific processor for the tasks in hand anyway.
We're supposed to think these people are competent and when they come out with total bullshit advice like that, well, it's no wonder people aren't always taking them seriously is it?
I couldn't find some wiper blades for my car in Halfords at the weekend so maybe I'll replace my car later tonight. Piss off.
