Personally, I believe that in most cases the problems needs to be fixed, a lot (but not all) of professionalism is overrated, and the illusions that celebrities are perfect is a bad idea.
So far, I have done insufficient research to definitely prove whether it is true or not, but I am suspecting a cover up culture particularly surrounding the funding of scientific studies, especially by drug companies.
Part of the golden parachute is more as an NDA payment - that you don't take stuff you learned from the previous company and use it in the next one, or air dirty laundry.
Of course, IMO this themselves is a bad idea, especially in this PR 2.0 age.
Personally I have been thinking that board of directors should be looking for external candidates from alternate sources like the start-up world for a while now.
Indeed, the most common attacks against Unix machines nowadays I think is targeted attacks, which often uses either social engineering or privilege escalation attacks to gain root.
On the other hand, binary file formats that disguise untrusted data as a C struct makes things worse, as C is an unsafe language that for example sliently truncate on integer overflow.
Not to mention they only apply to 2G connections, because 3G used strong 128-bit encryption from the beginning (GSM's A5/3 and GEA3 protocols uses the same encryption algorithm but with only 64-bit keys).

Yea, SSL 2.0 has worse flaws, not only the protocol flaws but also that Netscape 1.x's random number generator was not really random too.
I think they were acquired only recently.
Yea, to the Slashdot editors:
Note that this only affects SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0
Yea, the illusion the celebrities are perfect is a bad idea, and I have been saying it for a while now.

Does not make it any less Free Software though.
Fear based management of people leading to more and more invasive surveillance is a classic fundamental flaw I think.

The same is true of IE on Windows too BTW, which uses the system SChannel and thus the system cert store.

Yea, I know that not all founders are suitable big company CEOs, but it would be nice if board of directors could at least look in the startup world.
The funny thing is that it is not entirely impossible:

But the legacy MBA courses taught a lot of horrible stuff beyond this, such as that management is a science and anything that can be measured can be managed etc...

And I forgot to mention that SChannel, while most often used by IE, is actually part of Windows itself.
AFAIK, the lists are part of the SSL libraries I think. Two of the commonly used ones are Mozilla's NSS and MS's SChannel.

I think they were accepting applications back before they select Leo as the CEO. Now it is too late for that.

I think it is well-known that people are not dumb automata for a while now. In fact, I think "people over process" could apply to a lot more jobs too.

The problem is that of course it does nothing about all the legacy MBAs who were already taught the horrible stuff.
I know the history, and it is FAR from that simple.
