"But the morale of this threads story is that you are better off trusting big companies like valve with steam, instead of trusting small indie-companies."

The *moral* of the story is that you should only trust yourself to take care of protecting your investments. Remember the Kindle incident? Amazon is a company that has been around more than a decade and look what happened. They *REMOTELY* pulled access to customers' purchased books!

Its funny because I always thought of a "recall" as a voluntary process.

"Some cars are more unsafe then others. Some are meant to go 30mph on a small road, some go 120mph on a racetrack with 10 other ones at equally high and dangerous speeds. The former is pretty safe, the second is a death wish. And yet people chose to drive the latter. And so I laugh SO HARD when they die because its THEIR CHOICE. Haha, stupid people!"

This would be an instance of not using the right tool for the job. I would laugh too if somebody used a sledgehammer to hang up a photograph and destroyed their walls. That race car is intended to be used in an environment where everyone is traveling in the same direction, at the same speed. Nobody will be driving by perpendicularly through a stoplight on a race track. The race track doesn't have sharp turns either, allowing the driver to more easily control the car at great speeds.

Indeed, which is why there has never been a single car accident in the history of race driving, ever :D
