[juneau-lug] NVIDIA blob drivers

This came out earlier today, so probably stale news to a lot of you.  However 
a lot of people don't hang out on bugtraq or slashdot.

There are local and remote root exploits available for machines that use the 
NVIDIA commercial drivers.

I do not know how big the remote window is - the announcement says you can be 
hit by a malicious web site (so be careful if you surf your pr0n with Linux 
to avoid the Windows trojans!).

Cheers,
