Re: OT: Public referrendums on destroying evil companies
guess i will read this a bit longer.
my point is that computer software can't be held to the same standard becuase it's impossible or nearly so for the maker to understand how it will perform in enough situations; unlike mechanics which is a lot more simple and has been practiced for thousands of years. of course it's not modern mechanics, but that's a lot of background and theory for something a lot more simple.
also, your computer games are unlikely to kill you if they fail. i do think there should be accountability for known bugs that they know they could fix, but how would you determine that? get a court order for another company to fix it, paid for by the first one?
