    The average teacher salary is around $45k and entry cops make around $50k. Plus they get to retire after 20 years on the taxpayers dime. That is why cities are broke.

  7. You are just starting to become concerned? This has been going on for decades in many industries. Besides, Panera and other places have kiosks. In Europe they have them in a lot of the tourist areas to speed up the process of ordering.

    That pretty much sums up modern corporate software development: keep the idiots you hired from blowing up the place.

    Just because you don't unit-test doesn't mean you assume the code is bug-free. There are other ways to test that aren't based on unit-tests, as you non-Linux folks evidently believe.

    The security of Android has nothing to do with the security of Linux. Android is built on Linux. It is those addon pieces and the Android security model that is the issue. A lot of the insecurity of Android is by design. Google doesn't care about your security.
