    I'll just assume you know a developer who disagrees with that statement, who thinks, "every project has a bug list that grows and grows."

    Here are some resources to help your friend:
    Jim Shore talks about how to manage the process aspects.
    Kate Thompson talks about changes developers can make to get no bugs
    And if you prefer blogs, there are blogs

    Your friend needs to get his dev skills up to date.

    There are open bugs,

    Yeap. First sign of a crappy product is a bug list of open bugs that never end.
    Of course they fix some bugs, like you mentioned. Even the worst devs in the world do that.

    I get the nonsense that I'll be throwing my vote away but its insane to vote for someone you don't want.

    Whenever I get that, I figure out what party the person belongs to. Then, if they're democrat, I say, "You're right. If I didn't vote third-party, I would vote for Trump." If they're Republican, then I say, "You're right. If I didn't vote third-party, I would vote for Hillary." Confuses the hell out of them.

    Look for yourself, there's a link Over a thousand bugs in Natilus alone, including a blocker that's been open since 2014. Crappy, corporate-like dev team that can't manage their way out of a paper box. Keeping a bug tracker like that. They should commit seppuku from shame.

    Eh, now you're trying to get into an argument over who is worse, and I don't really care about that. Again, if you personally had done a fact-checking survey, I would take that seriously because I think you would do a good job.

    Also her 'friend', while a close-confidant of the Clintons, is a flattering, lying, false-friend who takes advantage of her. Here is one example, reported by the NYT: "It is not clear whether Mrs. Clinton or the State Department knew of Mr. Blumenthal’s interest in pursuing business in Libya." He is the one I blame for Benghazi, because he was giving false reports in the leadup to the murder (again, as mentioned in that article I linked to).

    Clinton's lousy selection of advisors and friends is the biggest worry I have of her presidency.

    Blumenthal is a slimeball, a leach who takes advantage of Clinton while flattering her. Obama was right to prevent her from bringing him into the state department, and she would do well to drop him at the first chance she gets.

    If you personally had been doing the fact-checking, I would consider that. The existing fact-checking organizations do too much editorializing for my taste, though.

Zuck gave New Jersey's failing school system $100 million, and other matching contributions added up the total to almost $200 million. All that money was pissed away on various things and today the New Jersey school system is still failing.

    Wow, what did they spend the money on?

    Hard to say. There are definitely open source projects that do that kind of thing (openBSD, for example, or git for another example). I'm inclined to think that it's more due to the quality of the developers doing the work, not something innate to open source.

    Also, Gnome is commercial software development, it's funded by RedHat......that's why they have an open bug list a mile long.
