What about when you mess up the code for an x-ray machine and end up giving the patients 10 times the normal dose of radiation. Shouldn't the programmer be liable.
The simplest solution to this problem is insurance similar to doctors malpractice insurance.
Ironically though here at the University of Oslo (capital of Norway) we use pen and paper to do our exams on object oriented java programming (yes, we write code by hand...with a pen...)
