The kernel is not a fast food venor in this case but the system in which the operating system of the computer (such as Mac, Windows, Linux etc…) communicates with the cpu. What this bug has caused is a massive breach in the way this communication is happening because it has halted the communication from being coded allowing hackers to come in and destroy peoples systems. There should be a full investigation on Intel and any of the other affected chip makers and to prevent this from happening…

that if you love someone, you cannot see any faults in that person. Some believe this is a lifelong feeling, but I believe it is only temporary. In the film Her by Spike Jonze, Theodore falls in love with his operating system and is forced to grow out of the honeymoon phase as the operating system advances.
