Meltdown and Spectre - What to do about it

[Brian Cluff]

I just got security notifications that the patches for meltdown for 
Ubuntu just hit.

Looks like it's time for all of us to update and slow down our own 
systems... ARG!

I also saw a security update for NVIDIA cards today that implied that 
they were also effected by speculative execution bugs.
