It's more like a meal replacement shake than dog food. It's very much like Ensure or Jevity or whatever. All of those do the same basic thing of trying to cover basic nutritional requirements. The big difference is the marketing

Something like that. Perhaps you might like to read all about it? I am sure you are aware that cases like this are primarily significant in their individual details, and not in vague generalizations. "What coffee is not a burn hazard

Please be sure to use the term "3rd degree" any time you use the word "burn" in this context. It's the most important detail, omitting it looks suspicious. I don't buy tea in the US since the water's neve

Tort reform boils down to "I know better than the Bill of Rights, because sometimes I don't like the way people exercise their rights." It's not much different than the thinking behind the cheerleading for other amendme

The scale of the project management involved would be tied to it, and that would take project buy in from the OpenSSL leadership far beyond anything I'd expect them to take, and also a much stricter leadership to keep things conformant

Given the scale of reworking and reorganizing that would be involved, I assumed a fork would be the only viable approach.

I wish Theo and his colleagues would create a fork of OpenSSL that was up to OpenBSD/OpenSSH standards. It would be a huge level of work, but I'd happily donate to help fund it.

If you walk in the street you might get hit by a car. I don't condone a driver hitting you, but reality is what it is. Cops have to constantly deal with the worst elements of society doing the worst things imaginable. It'd be gr
