Do we have brake override?

[MadMax]

I jumped and free-fell out of Soviet-built helicopters, with hungover pilots at the controls, in the Tatra Mountains of Slovakia. A conscript who was making maybe $10/month packed my parachute. I survived, so driving my Yaris doesn't scare me; even if an emergency situation arises. Maintain control, assess the situation and correct the situation. At no point will panicking ever help; but being trained and practicing what to do in an emergency beforehand will!

I beg to differ... No need to bash Microsoft here Why is almost 90% of the world using Windows? If MS is so crappy, why aren't we all using OS/2?

I happen to believe that Microsoft's software development process is way better than Toyota's and as you wrote in your following post (with which I fully agree for the record ), the challenges are completely different so the comparison is a bit of a stretch. Ferchrissake, Toyota uses the waterfall model... they don't test anything until the coding is complete!!! If they missed something during the design phase or if someone has a good idea later on, oh well... bad luck I guess It may make it into the next generation 5 years later or something.
