Unless you're running a custom version of OpenSSL, like the one on Debian. Ir reports itself as 1.0.1e, but is in fact a 1.0.1e with the specific bug fix backported.
That's absolutely not the case. OpenSSL has a stable ABI within each major release, like 0.9.8 or 1.0.1. This is no different from any other library. They have a slightly odd version scheme compared to most other libraries but that's about it.
Perl. Control flow based on indentation is a novel idea, but doesn't really make sense to most users. Especially until the tab vs spaces problem is solved.
It's actually worse than that. We have a number of systems where I am which was just recently upgraded to XP, including the main security system for the buildings. It ran on Windows 2000 up until a year ago or so.
GNU/Linux with LXC and Btrfs will give you more or less the same isolation that you get with virtual machines, but with no overhead. The moving to new hardware is still somewhat lagging behind, but once Criu becomes useful I see no reason why that shouldn't be possible.
Anti virus is sort of an incomplete term. Trojans are much more popular these days, and despite its name an anti virus program can protect against them too. It's just software when it comes down to it.
Hi. I don't know how much programming you used to do back when you were more closely related to the software field, but I'm going to assume that you used to have at least some experience with it. Do you still do any form of programming any more? Are there any specific programming languages, frameworks/libraries and tools that you prefer?
I'm sorry but you can't bundle a secret key in either source code or a binary, ship it to a user and somehow think that the user will be unable to extract it.
The problem with requiring C11 is that a lot of compilers don't support it. C99 support is getting better, but a lot of compilers are still lacking behind.
It's a pretty big step to just fork a major project like that. Have they actually talked to Bram and the other vim hackers first? I can only assume that if their ideas are sound that he would have no problem integrating them upstream.

You're probably thinking of OpenSSH. OpenSSL is independent as far as I know.

They're however not obligated to provide warranty.
Technically Windows 3.1 is just a shell on top of DOS.
Sales taxes in Europe are lower than the US.
It costs EUR 190 after taxes in the UK. Thats about $260. Fucking insane.
A more or less complete computer at that form factor for $260 is quite neat actually.
C# is not related to C just because the name is similar.

We all have our good and our bad sides.

So what's your plan going forward? Will you use XP ten or twenty years from now? If not then you should start a migration now rather than later.

You just cannot trust anything with bits&bytes made in the US. How can anyone think otherwise these days?
There's a reason why Apple products don't say made in the USA, but rather that they are designed in the USA.

Why even bother with a cable. It's not impossible to crack wireless networks.
I'm sorry but you can't bundle a secret key in either source code or a binary, ship it to a user and somehow think that the user will be unable to extract it.
Can't you just ship the software and let the user provide the key?
To be honest. Given what's going on within the EU I wouldn't be surprised if this had come from there.

Vim has had a GUI for quite some time now, since 4.0 or so. It's called gVim and it's actually good.
I see. Well, it's going to be interesting to see what comes out of it.

Which turns out will just be Ubuntu with a custom desktop.
Sounds reasonable since this library is mostly focused on GNU/Linux and not just POSIX compliance.
