The Shellshock bug detection and remedy proves that open source works.
If a person is diagnosed with a disease and successfully treated, does this:
1. Prove that medicine is a success.
2. Prove that medicine is a failure.

- krapp 12y agoOpen source can (and does) work, but questions can be asked about whether legacy open source code is receiving necessary scrutiny - and if not, why not.

Bear in mind, this particular patient has been in the waiting room for decades. Asking why a doctor hasn't shown up until now is at least reasonable.
