[Healeys] Off Topic (sort of)

[Richard Ewald]

That article is so full of errors, it is a prime example of why computers
are better at some tasks than people
50 to 100 control units in a luxury car?  Name the year, make and model.
10M lines of code in a car, 1/4 of what Windows has?  With no video, and the
audio limited to the key chime, the same request, year, make and model.
Three mile island a computer problem?  Not according to Wiki "The mechanical
failures were compounded by the initial failure of plant operators to
recognize the situation as a loss of coolant
accident<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loss_of_coolant_accident>due to
inadequate training"
bottom line, while the computers in cars are no where near perfect, they are
no where near as bad as this idiot is making them out to be.
