Bugs that I introduce into the code I can stand. Bugs that are caused by a bug in the compiler, well those are just wrong. Like catching your mom making out with your girlfriend. Not just Wrong, but Jerry Springer Wrong.
Also we could consider changing some of our policies that make terrorists want to target us in the first place...
Policies should be changed, but not in the way you imply. We should not appease those peoples from which terrorist are drawn.
We should use the Chicago way, as it was stated in the movie "The Untouchables", they pull a knife, you pull a gun, they put one of yours in the hospital, you put one of theirs in the morgue.
It is a mistake trying to make the arab world love us. It won't happen.
Our reprisal for 9/11 should have been so out of proportion to the event itself, that next time something similar happens, there won't be cheering in the streets, but masses of people filled with dread at the thought of what will happen in return.
Having done both QA and programming I happen to know that programming is intrinsically more difficult and does require more focus and contiguous attention than QA.
Quality varies from programmer to programmer. Sounds like you are working with some pretty unskilled ones.
Strange how my experience is almost exactly like yours, but with a subtle shift making all the difference.
New CIO wants us to change one of our main products to be tightly intergrated with his favorite accounting program. So tightly intergrated, that it will not work without the accounting package. Weeks of trying to dissuade him of this very bad idea end with the pronouncement, "I'm the boss and we are going to do it my way."
Months of development effort later, the product was tightly intergrated. Turns out, none of the potential customers want the accounting package. In the meeting where we were informed that the intergration had to go, one of my guys looks at me and says, "Gee, it's too bad somebody didn't bring up that this was a bad idea before we did all this work."
I wish this guy was my senator. Heck, I wish the bill would have an open vote so that I'd know which senators were in whose pocket, but this thing will never make it to a vote without being totally immasculated.
Because water is densest at 4 C, the entire volume of a body of water has to first reach that temperature (since it sinks to the bottom at that temp) before freezing at the top. Any other scenario results in bad things happening...

Back to the drawing board for you. Seems your encryption doesn't maintain data integrity.
Okay, I downloaded it. Now how do I get to the flight simulator?

"Come get some!"

I can almost hear the words as the first subject looks through a device using these new flat lens and says, "Hey, I can see my house from here."

Ice-9 anybody?
Personally I think everyone should learn English.
Plus, every one can understand English if you speak it slowly and loudly enough.
5. Enjoy your capped copy of the (hopefully not) last episode of Farscape :)
Sadly, I've gone so far as to re-install my OS in preparation for this event.
