controller started to fail. Luckily we were able to at least get one
pass of RSYNC done before the controller died outright. So while we
already had a RAID 5 solution, the failure of the

projects do as well as they do with mostly volunteer efforts. I think where it
breaks down is when things become overly complex which is what the Quinn Norton
article points out. Even those trying their best to write good
The following is an example of what you are talking about - with that auto
makers are doing their best to integrate everything from built-in game
consoles to GPS systems.
What the f**k is a recursive algorithm doing in the ECU code for the

The OnStar case actually makes sense since it reads and writes to various
systems (when conditions that match a collision are found, it calls
emergency services with your GPS location). Arguably these "features"
should have been put in by the manufacturer (and currently this is
happening), but as
