Regarding [2], the sensationalized, alarmist way the media reported this was not remotely accurate, nor would the conspiracy theory angle on this story make any practical sense.

> This is a classic example of poor scientific journalism and I believe it became so popular due to widespread deficits in scientific literacy. You don’t have to be a neuroscientist to see that there are huge problems with his story. You simply have view this story objectively have a healthy dose of skepticism without quickly deferring to the authority figure. There are simple questions which are never addressed here. What experiment was being done during each PET scan? If the psychopaths and Dr. Fallon were both completing a morality task and they both had low activity in certain regions, THEN that would be something more tangible. This is simply showing a brain picture and not asking questions. We know that people are much more likely to believe something if there is a brain picture associated with it and this is further proof.

It's cool because: we analyze paths taken in binaries to find bugs.

> I think there are a lot of developers out there who don't write tests

I like to imagine a world where automated analysis supplements testing by providing a middle ground of "moderate gain + no programmer effort" (if you're interested, http://bugchecker.net)

http://bugchecker.net is a site that does automated testing (dynamic analysis). We use STP.

* It doesn't use uclibc. The way it works is the guest program is a snapshot of the target program process after it has been linked with its shared libraries. Usually this means it's linked with glibc (but not necessarily -- cyanogenmod programs are linked with bionic).

* Shared libraries: yes, and it doesn't need a header. Not supported yet in the interface. It does need access to the function symbols though.

Thanks for reporting this, looking into it. The Windows support is fairly unstable right now. About page updated.

What was the test, out of curiosity? What tests are the most commonly given?

Incentives.

If she wants that label (which has become really popular over the past few years), she can shop around until she finds a psychologist willing to give her the diagnosis she wants. Of course she pays them for their time. (Not to mention, antisocial behavior + narcicissm = not a stretch.)

It's not like her publisher or news organizations are going to show any skepticism.
