The underlying code does need to be fixed, but the sort of thing needed to expose it is exactly the sort of thing you wouldn't expect to run across, and therefore probably wouldn't think to test against.
If your software testers aren't testing the cases people don't *normally* think to test against, then you should replace them with random non-software-tester users who will accidentally test those cases.;)
In other words, software testers are *supposed* to test the things you wouldn't normally think to test, at least in part of a test cycle, somewhere...
And by "software testers" you obviously don't mean the developers from booking.com who didn't test the effects of their new app version?
I expect Linus or someone else in the community could afford $99 per year to host Linux somewhere, given that it's not trivial, and is actually worth something to many people.
Early versions of Linux (kernel) and many Linux distros since then were hosted for FREE on university FTP servers before the Internet became available to everyone and broadband replaced dial-up accounts.
So the someone who could afford the hosting was the taxpayer, without being asked for the kindness. You are my hero.
Does solar power or wind power pay for its externalities?
I doubt it as China produces most panels, and they have a great environmental record...
Are the external costs for solar power in China even remotely as high as for the external cost of fossile fuels in Chine? No? Then what the fuck are you whining about?
It’s hard to run any company, but there are specific challenges that are especially hard about running a fast-growth company. If you’re not careful, these challenges can turn into hazards.
There are Ashkenazi, originally from central Europe which are what most people think of when they hear "Jew", and are the predominant group of Jews in the US, especially the NYC area.
There are also Sephardic, originally from Spain, and then a bunch of other smaller ethnicities including Arab, Ethiopian, etc..
Isn't it odd the Israeli society is quite racist and classist between the Jews of different origins?
Is an African American who develops a bizarre hatred of African Americans suddenly no longer black?
Is a white man who believes that whites are responsible for all the evil in the world suddenly Native American?
He can disavow Judaism - plenty of Jews do it. They're called "secular Jews." They're still Jews, and he is, too.
Even if he and "the Jews" accepted he's no longer a Jew - why the hell would the neo-Nazis? The old-time-Nazis killed many who thought of themselves as Germans (and even fought for them in the first World War), and didn't practice the religion in generations.
IOW, no he isn't a neo-Nazi, because they won't accept him as anything but an example how opportunistic Jews are; certainly not as one of their own.
Yeah I had to laugh when I identified more with the friendly/dorky/pear shaped pc guy than the metrosexual twerp. I guess they don't care about our business.
Yeah, they don't care about businesses run by Microsoft certified morons.

So basically what you're saying is that they saw the non gimmicky Galaxy Note series people loved and said "hey, let's get those customers!"
Got it
You mean the gimmick with the tiny screen that barely sells as well as the failing iPod?

But there's a bigger problem here . . . this bizarre mindset of creating an "app" to do things that can be/should be done by an ordinary web browser.
Yeah, why make a "Mail" app, when mail works just fine in the browser?
But they do. My state levies a significant tax on minerals extracted and puts the money in a wealth fund.
IOW: No, they don't even remotely pay their external costs.

Because it is. The taxes from fossil fuels and the economy they fuel are the only thing that makes the Green scam possible.
Putting the fact that fossil fuels don't have to pay their external costs aside, let's look at some basic business facts: http://www.forbes.com/sites/sageworks/2014/08/10/five-hazards-of-growing-a-business-quickly/#5c64e0fb12e1

"ethnic Jews"
Not really any such one thing.
There are Ashkenazi, originally from central Europe which are what most people think of when they hear "Jew", and are the predominant group of Jews in the US, especially the NYC area.
There are also Sephardic, originally from Spain, and then a bunch of other smaller ethnicities including Arab, Ethiopian, etc..

"Ironically, the hacker is a former Jew"

And there's a huge question as to whether you can order a company or a person to do work like that for free.
So you are saying that if the government paid prevailing value for doing the work, then it would be okay?
What would be the "prevailing value" for writing a one-off (*) version of an OS?
(*) or not quite so one-off looking at the number of cases where LEOs have made requests following the precedent.
Could anyone meaningfully comment on whether the FBI actually did this, and if so, how? Creating a clone for them to exhaustively attack maybe?
Yeah, they accessed the data on the phone by letting the San Bernardino County unlock the phone with the MDM software they had installed in it.
No, do you admit trying to derail the discussion with a constant change of subject so no meaningful discussion can take place?
Gee, what a nitpicking dick you are. A nitpicking dick who first changed subject - nobody was talking about being groped and fondled before you did.
But most importantly of course: you were wrong. And don't like to be shown wrong. Fuck off and die.
If keyboards on phones were as important as some make them out to be, Blackberry would be selling millions of units a year.
Blackberry? Wasn't the keyboard (in addition to touch) supposed to make Android so much better than iPhone?
Yeah, now they can't even protect a vigil from local savages.
I am changing the subject? Who brought up the suicide vests in the first place?
So you admit defeat by confirming you don't know what the fuck you are talking about.
I wonder if that new iPad will run Fallout 4 as well as my modded 5-year-old desktop does.
You are aware that a "five year old computer" is not the same as a "5 year old case with all brand new parts"?
Jesus Christ, if anybody is making fun of poor people, it's you geeksters.
Funny you should say that, ever heard of Cyanogenmod? My 5 y.o tablet it running 5.1.1 without a glitch.
Funny you should say that, I can't find a tablet running CyanogenMod 12.1 that is even actually 4 years old, let alone 5.
Yeah I had to laugh when I identified more with the friendly/dorky/pear shaped pc guy than the metrosexual twerp. I guess they don't care about our business.
Yeah, they don't care about businesses run by Microsoft certified morons.
I predict you are wrong about VR failing. Call it a hunch.
I bet you said the same thing the last time VR was the thing of the near future.
You managed to shorten your bullshit and still keep all the bullshit.

FTFY
Have they tried "0911" already?
And this coming from the people constantly babbling about SJWs?
I bet a 5-year old PC would still play games a lot better than any Macbook.
You are such a SJW with your 1 month old $600 graphics card.
