Yeah, I made a typo when typing on my phone keyboard.
At least this one didn't include whining about Burning Man in it. That's a narked improvement.
Homer Simpson?
Nope, that's why it's open source.
What replacement?
It was my understanding that when they depreciated OpenSSL they just asked software vendors and users to bundle/get the latest version themselves. Which means that a lot of OSX servers _are_ vulnerable while Apple can claim OSX is not.
Nope, they said to use CommonCrypto.
You talk as if COM went away. Protip: It didn't.
Why do you assume the American public is not capable of locating other media outlets across the world?

You act like that isn't a huge difference. It is.
Not entirely true. The container standard does actually specify supported formats. Now you can put unsupported formats into the container but there's no guarantee any specific parser written to the standard will support them.
Because patents have prevented H.264 hardware acceleration in mobile devices... Oh wait.
I tell them to turn to the study of mathematics, for it is only there that they might escape the lusts of the flesh. -- Thomas Mann, "The Magic Mountain"
