    Testing is not sufficient. It becomes clear we need PROOF in things like OpenSSL and OS kernels. Getting rid of the C shite (and having memory safety) would go very long ways.

    See the L4 kernel of Uni Dresden.

    What languages is L4 written in?

    This bug is almost 10 years old, are you sure that YOU didn't write it?

    Me too!

    Was thinking of starting my Squeeze->Wheezy update next week. Guess I'll put it off for a while.

    (Of course, a decade might be too long. Do you have the infamous ssh/ssl keygen bug fixed?)

    If only they had written OpenSSL in Java instead of C!

    No, it should obviously be written in something anyone can understand, php maybe?

    There are 3 kinds of universes -

    1. mostly matter
    2. 50/50
    3. mostly antimatter.

    In type 1 universes everyone is asking "why is everything made of matter".
    type 2 universes are empty.
    type 3 universes electricty flows the right way.

    Yep. I'd shitcan him on the spot. He certainly has a right to an opinion, and he certainly has a right to free speech. But he doesn't have a "right" to work for me.

    You don't have the right to break a contract except as allowed by law and the contract itself (and then only of the contract is legal).

    Attempting to fire an employee for using his free speech rights outside company hours would get you in a shitload of trouble in my country.

    If I work 9-5, and at 5:01 start telling customers that my CEO should be fired because he's a pinko commie, I would expect to be told to find a new job

    I also feel management should be fired if they attempt to fire employees for political activities during their off hours.

    Telling people that your CEO should be fired because he's a pink commie after 5:01 is political activities during their off hours.

    Only with the fact that he was objecting -- publicly -- ABOUT his boss's politics, whatever they happen to be.

    You seem to think you are the feudal lord rather than one signatory to a contract. Does the contract you signed with your employee say that he doesn't have the right to discuss your politics?

    I think you underestimate the size of Russia. Even if you take out Moscow, St.Petersburg, Volgograd and other major cities, you would still have a functioning economy and militatry, try this with NY, DC Dallas and LA!
