IF using BitKeeper means agreeing to NEVER work on any SCM system, or anything that could-possibly compete with BitKeeper ( as I've read elsewhere ), then
Isn't Linus very sue-ably in breach of contract, right now?
As long as you prefer quiet to performance, get a Matrox P650: it's fanless dual-head and fully 1/15th the on-card memory-bandwidth of an ATI X800-XL card. ..
( yeah, I know, the in-card-memory-bandwidth isn't the only spec that matters, and I chose it for the contrast, so Too Bad[tm]:
2 or 2.2 GB/s versus 32 GB/s is striking )

for a surge-suppressor that'll protect your UPS, make it one of the wide-spectrum jobbers ( these things don't use MOV's which fade, so you can TRUST 'em, and no I don't work for ZS )
Layer 2
line-conditioner
Layer 3
UPS, with add-on battery capability, and BIG batteries added on, in parallel ( absorbed-glass-mat or starved-electrolyte, same-thing, are the standard for putting in UPSs, but if you're going to be doing this for extended-no-grid-use, then probably going with a bunch of big normal-lead ones might make more cost-sense. . . )
Alternative layer 2+3
get a big line-interactive UPS ( line-interactive is more efficient than the offline ones: it's using a line-conditioner instead of battery for sags etc. ) & add big batteries in parallel.
Layer 4
add solar to trickle-charge the batteries to keep 'em very topped-up & help make the hit milder, when having to rely on battery.
We've all heard the
"drop frog into pot of hot water, and it'll jump out, but if you drop the frog into a pot of warm water, and heat it, you'll get a dead/cooked frog"
item, and it's been shown to work against human-worth again and again
( I think it was in the documentary "Anne Frank Remembered" where a woman, who survived nazism's-europe, said that each new restriction/regulation/control was "Just One More Thing", until the
You aren't alowed to go anywhere except in daytime, and only within a mile ( or something like that ) rule.
Then they knew It Was Too Late(tm).
Humanity's going to accommodate corporate monarchy until we have our rights removed, and history shows that that's that.
Believing otherwise's fine, but over thousands of years, we've impersonated drunkenness more than enlightenment, and the fundamental determination isn't going to un-be, just because it'd be a nice idea. . .
Unshakeable determination to enforce ignorance's Rule
is
Unshakeable Determination, not some easily-disappearable-appearance.
It doesn't matter whether it's conscious or unconscious, it matters only that it commit, for its effect to be. ..

The reasons bugs get eradicated systematically-quicker in OSS are the same reasons OSS programs are more trustworthy in general:
SOMEONE is going to discover undermining-code or flaw, and if they broadcast that discovery, then I can discover its existence, see. . .

Google: "the who" or the-who
they are equivalent methods of causing it to grok the phrase, see.
A More Interesting Question, however, is which search-engine is for most-searches MORE EFFECTIVE. . .
