80% of the people who died during firestone equipped suv roll-overs were NOT wearing seatbelts.
the reason the trucks rolled over was because the idiot behind the wheel NOT wearing his seatbelt also did not know that you do not slam your brakes on hard and start sawing at the steering wheel when a blowout or tread separation occurs.
tests showed most of the tread separated tires did not deflate, but the noise of the tread slamming on the inside of the fender well caused the drive to panic and slam on his brakes...
finally most of these people had never checked their tire pressure for 3 years and did not realize that 800 pounds of passengers and cargo in the ford suv put it over its max gross weight where handling and control become more difficult.
think 4 big guys over 200 pounds each and a shitload of camping and hunting gear in the back AND on the roof rack, driving 80 mph for hours on worn and badly underinflated firestones AND NOW THE TIRE COMPANY IS THE BAD GUY???
if you have documents that will cause great damage to you and your company in court and people will go to prison and the penalty for shredding documents even after the court has directed all shredding stop to preserve evidence is substantially less [which it probably is in the the enron case and most other great scandals] you'd be a fool not to keep shredding until the very moment the us marshals pry your hot sweaty fingers away from the shredder and handcuff you...
from a engineering meeting held in a very old us company that made machine tools where the installation of operator guards was discussed on some type of press they agreed to do it and someone mentioned that if the guards were removed later serious injury could result to the operator.
fast forward to 1985, the press made back in 1937 is still in use at some rundown plant staffed with illegal mexicans, it has not had any decent maintenance in decades and of course all the operator guards were removed to speed up production several owners ago.
some guy puts his hands in the danger zone and the press gets him.
the original company that made the press 48 years ago gets bagged on the grounds that they knew it was a dangerous machine that's why they mounted operator guards on it... the fact that persons unknown decades later removed those guards and no one trained the illegals on safe operation of this old rundown press was beside the point...
being an old family run company, they had records dating back to the founding apparently they never threw anything away and minutes from a 1937 meeting ended up costing them a couple of millions of $.

The ChiCom dictatorship has murdered millions of Chinese over the decades and is certainly no friend of the US, yet US companies blithely allow them access to source code remotely and accept their coding. Does anyone check the code to make sure they haven't added a few undocumented 'features' such as keyloggers or backdoors?

IMO, the question is whether or not a corporation can be trusted with today's technology. My answer is no,
so all computer based point of sale systems and credit card verification terminals, security tags on liquor and cosmetics, all security cameras and vcrs would be removed?
how about telephones? after all they can be used to call the police when the store catches a shoplifter, violating his right to get away with his 'prize' from the giant evil capitalist monster drug store chain.

hey, i still use that green cd-rom edgemarker highlighter that cost me $6.99 at the checkout counter to color the edges of the cd green which helps trap the red laser light energy by reflection and makes the rap 'music' 'sound' much better than letting it all leak out...
and it sure is cheaper than $140k systems...

people and lose friends.
i did a blind a to b comparison of my home built $180 speakers to a commercial pair which cost over $1000 made somewhere in nyc.
my friend who owned the $1000 speakers picked the $180 speakers each time [thinking they were his!] in a blind test!
granted i had a friend who knew a lot about speakers design and spec my set, but my other friend was angry with me that i had showed up his fancy commercial speakers.
we ran the test with a cd of the 1812 and a cd of the firebird, good for excercising audio systems, the rest of the equipment was about $1500 and the cables were $25 stranded flat copper intelaced.
the differences were quite dramatic, even the german landlord's family could easily tell the superiour sound...
i first realised the audio people were nuts 20 years ago when i heard one of them say he was 'listening' to solder, ie, he could tell to 1% the lead-tin mix in the solder used to build the pre-amps! and they all nodded wisely in agreement...
Just think of all the natural uranium and thorium that went up the stacks of a big coal plant since it occurs naturally in coal...
The fact is that a single coal plant emits more naturally occuring radiation from its stacks in one year than all the nuclear powerplants in the world, save one in Chernobyl...
Chernobyl was a massive human lack of common sense and oversight when they shut down all sorts of safety systems then stressed the reactor to see what whould happen
