So what's the car theft rate there? What about RF key validation?

I worked for Electronic Arts during the dot com crash, and EA's value was even or increasing through that peroid. Why? Because they made an actual product, with their own money.

I have no idea how confident I should be in Edge's security. Microsoft just doesn't have a great history there.

The control pad system is broken. It doesn't do what I tell it to, and often does other unexpected things. Firefox 43.0.1 on Windows.

I don't like their hack, but the card reader could issue multiple attempts at the password verification in succession, with only one of them randomly being the one typed in.

Why isn't static analysis or "sanitizers" finding this?
