      Of course software has bugs. Don't tell me that as if you just learned it. We've known this forever. That's why the set up is unacceptable.

      How many "patched" exploits need to run wild before the obvious is accepted? This isn't unsolvable. Just unsolvable on the cheap.

          In hospitals patching/upgrading makes critical equipment (MRIs, monitors, drug pumps, etc) stop working. Same in other industries.
