I ' m a software engineer as well and I agree . However , I will point to the casinos , who have figured out ways to make their machines incredibly secure . Not 100 % secure , as that is not really possible , but a lot more secure than the voting machines in use around the U . S . <| sep |> I ' m going to start a petition to recount those goals <| sep |> Brb still pressing A <| sep |> The comparison is simply being attracted to something other than the norm , nothing else . Easier to explain . <| sep |> Yeah but development is seldom a cycle that stays on track . An updatepatch has to pass Massive QA , Ubisoft Checks , Sony Checks , adapt to Sony Firmware . You have developers that have to managers who have to talk to QA who have to talk to Mangers to talk to Ubisoft mangers who talk to Ubisoft QA who talk back their managers who then talk to Sony Managers who then talk to Sony QA who report back to Sony managers who then talk to Sony Server guys to push the patch and if any problems are found along the way the process reverses itself and Massive fixes the bugs and then we restart the talking again .
