There's no prize for participation, and they very clearly didn't do even the most rudimentary testing before paying for an in-depth third party analysis. I'd say that this reflects a profoundly childish approach to software, but that is unfair to children: I remember how much testing I did of my crappy game before I submitted it to STFormat when I was 12.

This is like paying for a pentest of a treehouse, and claiming that this implies the updated treehouse with a working padlock instead of a novelty lock is in the same league as a bank or a data center.

It makes mongodb from the report a decade ago look good.

The discussion section of the report is very damning.

Yes, exactly. A holiday celebrating rampant consumerism? Fuck that shit.

I got access denied, and then it worked after a refresh.

“With all due respect sir, I have always felt free to voice my opinions, even when they differ from those of Captain Picard or Commander Riker.” --Worf, when he's getting chewed out by Data

Absence of evidence is evidence, it's just not very strong evidence.

To say nothing of The Inner Light, where in a real sense he lives out the road not travelled.

“Captain, I must protest: I am not a merry man!”

Amusingly, “robot” as a term was invented as a way to refer to machines that were more than just machines: it was the original word for android.

The correct analogy is the bank securing the loan with the car, and then potentially repossessing that car.

Don't ask for a loan if you don't want a loan.

Sounds like The Ensigns of Command:

   > LAFORGE: Captain, we can do it. We can modify the transporters.
   > PICARD: Excellent.
   > LAFORGE: It'll take fifteen years, and a research team of a hundred.
   > PICARD: Mister La Forge, I believe we will postpone.
   > LAFORGE: Yes, sir.

> but then no one can say anything to anyone about anything

I was going to say that this is an absurd leap, but going off your username I suspect that was the point.
