PayPal has been a very bad player in this area, apparently closing accounts on a whim, locking up the monies in those accounts, etc., etc., etc.

.
For that reason, I've never given PayPal direct access to my bank accounts, in spite of PayPal's constant hounding to do so.

PayPal just has not been behaving well in this space. For me, PayPal is a payment service of last resort, not of first choice.

From what I read of the OpenSSL source code, it would be an insult to programmers everywhere to call the people who barfed up the OpenSSL code "programmers".

The Apple CEO during the keynote of the Apple developers conference states that people have switched from Android to iOS.

.
Just what did anyone expect him to say? That Apple is losing marketshare to Android?

... yes, FireFox 29 is a mess.

Microsoft has lied about this in the past, why should anyone believe them now?

Are we playing buzzword bingo? If so, I concede, you win.

Apples and oranges comparison.

When I buy a DVD, I own that DVD. That is why I buy DVDs. I don't want some DRM server somewhere suddenly saying that I cannot stream a movie I purchased.

Now if streaming allowed me to purchase and keep a copy free of DRM, then I'd be interested.

But so long as there is DRM, I'll continue buying DVDs.

You left out the part about clever people not continuing to make the same mistakes over and over.

.
The problem with OpenSSL is not that mistakes were made.

The problem is that mistakes were made and the developers did not learn from those mistakes, did not seem to care about fixing those mistakes, and did not care about preventing similar mistakes from recurring.

Looks like a committee of tech companies is going to fund a security audit and further development of OpenSSL.

This can only be a good thing, right?

On the contrary, the government has every right to assure you are vaccinated. Your ignorant and paranoid refusal to be vaccinated threatens the health of others. The threat you pose if you are not vaccinated is not some misguided rant of a paranoid, but a real and present medical danger.

.
If you do not want to get vaccinated, then go live in complete isolation, far, far away from those who want their children to be healthy. The moment you choose to interact with society, then you have a responsibility not to make that society sick.

Exactly. I use Wikipedia as a starting point to find real sources, not as the end source.

According to the results of that Nature study, Wikipedia had, on average, 32% more errors per article than the Encyclopedia Britannica. How cnet.com translates that into "as accurate as" is beyond me. The Nature summary even acknowledges that Wikipedia is not as accurate as Encyclopedia Britannica.
