I for one would hate to see them lose their voting rights over this. I mean, how do they get driver's licenses now? How is this going to affect the next movie?
As computer systems become larger and take on more important roles, software bugs will cause much larger destruction and loss of life.
Civil Engineering has been around almost the longest of all engineering and a glitch can wipe out entire towns/cities with floods.
As the CS field matures and more ambitious projects are undertaken there will be mistakes. But we learn from each one and the advances always outweigh the risks.
I found that assembly in PPC601 was pretty similar to MIPS. Not as clean perhaps, but we went over the design differences and reasons in a CS class and it was fascinating to see how mass-production and cost factors changed the architecture.
Sheesh, people always seem to be asking which is better the hammer or the screwdriver. Now I know some people really like the hammer (come on who doesn't like to whack things?) but the screwdriver is the true multipurpose tool.
I've banged in how many nails with the backside of a screwdriver when the hammer was just out of reach, but I've banged in a whole bunch of screws with a hammer.

I'll be glad the MIPS is still around.
You mean like Steve Jackson Games?

Wait, nevermind, I'll take the hammer too.
