I'm Brazilian, and I was born and live in São Paulo, I have visited Brazil (where I live), Argentina and Chile, so I think I can give an opinion. Well, São Paulo (the Brazilian state) is a good place to start a company, it does have a large

South Korea in 2002 is a good counterexample to this rule, if you look at club tournaments you'll see that larger teams also are constantly affected by errors.

Since it's a 0day I think it would require ninja coders to test, go to the code and fix it in the same day, for complex and legacy code (I think Adobe software falls into these categories), from my experience watching security related lists

In 1997, when the article says BFS was created, I had a Pentium 100 with 8mb of RAM and a 8gb disk. EDIT: For comparison, the iMac G3 that I bought a year later had 32mb of RAM and a 4gb disk

I still remember that some years ago I did not knew what exactly was a "secure channel" that some texts talked about when I was learning about PKIs. The terminology is really confusing if people do not get the concepts.

I have some doubts if LGPL used by WebKit fails under the same restrictions that GNU pointed in the case of Gnu Go, LGPL does have some of the same requirements of GPL, I believe it does not and do not have the interest to push the subject
