Nope - bisection is a common technique for tracking down the cause of a bug by doing a binary search through the code history. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_Bisection
Catholic teaching is that human beings should never be treated as the means to an end. To create a person just for the sake of doing experiments on him, or just for his liver, arm, heart, etc. since yours is busted, is to treat that person as a mere object - solely as the means to curing another. That is what is an affront to human dignity.

Wouldn't your files be encrypted with your public key so that only you could decrypt it with your private key? This is normally the way things work with public/private key encryption.

There have been quite a few discussions about rpm versus deb/apt in the past couple days, and I'd like to share some of my personal experiences with both of these packaging systems.
I use debian at home, and I absolutely love it. I can understand how installation may be a bit tricky. I always install a really basic system and then configure apt to get the rest of the packages I want from the net.
I've found both my systems at home incredibly easy to maintain. Installing or upgrading packages is simple thanks to apt-get. I've NEVER had packages fail to install that I've downloaded from one of the debian sites (or even helixcode's gnome archive). apt automatically handles dependencies and installs any other packages you need.
At work, I have redhat installed. Many people say they prefer redhat because rpms are more widely available and are easier to install. I see this as both a blessing and a curse. I find myself downloading rpms from all over the internet because I can't find the "official" version. Sometimes they install, most of the time they fail to install because of conflicting libraries or conflicting naming conventions. When they do install, I've had quite a few packages segfault for what appears to be no good reason.
If you want to have a stable, maintainable system, I'd suggest trying out debian. If you want to try out all the latest stuff, I'd also suggest debian - try out the unstable branch, it's got a ton more stuff in it! And if you run across software that's not in the debian archives, you can give alien a try, or you can always build from source.
Our ancestors did indeed have problems. In parts of the world today where orange juice and milk are readily available, the expected lifespan of a human is around 70 years. Compare that to the dark ages where the expected lifespan was what? 30 years? The Greeks managed fairly well, but not what we have today. Of course, much of this is due to improvements in medical technology, but I would wager that a person today goes longer without need for medical assistance than a person 2000 years ago because of the changes to our diet.
This makes me wonder exactly how you would implement a secure open source client/server. The only way I can come up with to make sure the client isn't hacked is to have some kind of challenge/response system. Some kind of checksum of the executable would be ideal since that would ensure that only known clients are accepted, but obviously since both the client and server are open sourced, a determined cheater would figure out the proper responses and incorporate those into the hacked client.
Tried that...It helped a little bit, I was able to access more web pages than I was before, but certain things (like ftp uploads) still disconnected the modem. Of course, could be that win98 doesn't always obey the MaxMTU setting...
I've tried Bell's HSE, and it pissed me right off. Try masquerading with pppoe and you'll see what I mean. Any time you try to send more than 1k upstream in a single packet, the modem disconnects. I've had absolutely no problems with @Home service in Toronto, I just hook up it to my machine, set the ip address and it works. I don't have to try to figure out why the modem is disconnecting all the time and fiddle around with pppd, mtu and pppoe settings.
Yeah, that's what I understood at first as well. Then I realized that it meant competition between organizations that provide domain name registration.

Hey, it's worked for lots of other people today

This almost looks like someone ran the movie through a voice-to-text program to get the subtitles.

Yup, Ctrl-L does the same in Mozilla

Good info in here, this needs to be read before the FUD spreads.

I want a piece of this stuff with wireless internet access that can display the latest /. stories on my newspaper!
