An additional clarification... I don't give a shit about the bureaucrats or diversity hires... I want the public at large to have open access. I want to make sure the routine that adds "one" doesn't have any conditional statements. If Sha'niqu'a is going to use the software to display a number, I want to look over the routine that handles the output and make certain it is rig-proof. If everybody can see it, then confidence in the system goes up.

Code errors are caught by people who didn't write the code... because presumably the person writing the code thought it was right, and is therefore less likely to see a mistake. So let's all see all the code, so there's no "glitches" like this. I know you can't find all the bugs, but you can sure as hell see any underhanded "stuff" if you look hard enough.

The Chinese hardware and firmware can adjust the contents of memory.

I'm agreeing with you on this. I'm just saying that in the system that we now have it is those retard affirmative action hires that see and approve of the code. That has got to change! We all need access to it.
