So, recording in a public place (it was a public school classroom, in front of others) is illegal in PA? Then the school administrators should be charged with tampering with evidence. And the judge should have thrown it out for lack of evidence. And the police officer should be reprimanded for failing to Mirandize the kid, and the kid was actually a minor (15 years old) so not bringing in the parent before interrogating him is another reprimand. So in summary: EPIC FAIL.

Probably because it's geared towards the high-end of the market. The aftermarket stereos and cars this is geared toward are luxury ones, not economy brands. My guess is the demographics of that market are more in Apple's iPhone/iPad sweet-spot than Android's. But I have no data to back that up, just personal observation.

That's interesting, since I meet a lot of software developers at other companies and the most common laptop maker they have (by far) are Apple ones: MBP or Air. Now maybe it's the tech industry I'm in (networking), or the type of developers I meet (highly paid ones who travel), but they can't all be stupid.

I used to tease them about it, until I got one because I was fed up with my employer-supplied laptop... and I have to say they are really, really good. There are some very frustrating things about Apple, no debate, but compared to the competition? Not even close. If I want to boot to linux or run it in a VM I can, but sometimes you just want something that works well without being a sysadmin; and the physical design is really good.

They're way expensive, but it's the thing you use all day, every day. If you can afford it at all, I think it's worth it. If you can't afford it, there's nothing to argue over.

It's like arguing over monitors. If you can afford a 30" or bigger IPS and you would use it all the time, get one. If you can't, don't complain that you don't need the extra inch or two.

Interesting paper. Something else peaked for me at age 24, but it definitely had a high P value. (wink wink)

And a source for that "data point" would be...?

Actually that surprised me quite a bit. A lot of FOSS projects do perform testing, at least automated testing. And some even do fuzz testing. And some even run static code analyzers. So considering how important and widely-used OpenSSL is, I was surprised to hear they didn't. So I went and checked and they do appear to have some test code. Obviously not enough, or at least not for this new hearbeat feature, but they do have some.

I'm with you 100% on that. They have no legal obligation of course, but damn they look really cheap and slimy right now. (except for maybe Apple since they don't use OpenSSL, but then again they had their own embarrassing security bug just a few months back)

You're obviously a troll and an idiot, but just for the record: I don't know if Seggelmann is Jewish - his last name is, but then so are a lot of German last names... and he's German (not Israeli) and there aren't many German Jews left - but the reviewer of the code was Stephen Henson, who is not Jewish. Do you blame him too? RSA (the company that became synonymous with public crypto, and the algorithms they patented) stands for Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Len Adleman. The last two are also Jews, and Adi Shamir is actually an Israeli. Do you blame them too? In fact, according to the Bible, there's this guy named Jesus who was also a Jew. Do you blame him too? As it happens, there are a disproportionate number of Israeli programmers in the tech space, mostly because as far as I can tell they've always had a high ratio of well-educated people in math and comp sci, and lately an influx of of well-educated former-Russians too. Thank god it wasn't an Indian or Chinese programmer who caused this, or /. servers would collapse from the comments.
