As someone who worked for firms working on bank security, i call tell you they remain silent about 100% of their electronic breaches and cover the money in silence. The reasoning is that lower accounts are their milking cow now, and news of some measly 200,000 robbed by electronic means (they lose more than that per day), while insignificant to the bank, would draw away those lesser accounts to whom 200,000 is a fortune. and draw away too many of the lesser accounts and the bank starts to be in real problem.

besides those in-the-dark screw ups, you also have the public ones. more recently bank of america showing other peoples each other account instead of their own and such.

dos something -> dos 6 -> dos6 + window 3.11 -> slackware -> conectiva -> redhat -> back to slackware and stable for years ....

after that forked into (depending on machine role):
- irix (couple years) -> openBSD (never bought a cd)
- windows 95 -> windows 98 -> windows NT for a long time -> windows XP for a long time -> windows 7
- gentoo -> Ubuntu for a long time -> ubuntu + gnome3, unity, whatever (a couple hours) -> debian + blackblox (after testing gentoo again but feeling more at home with debian)

That's the most dumb argument i've ever heard:

case A: guys get his 5yr old notebook, install linux, wants everything to work

case B: guys spends $9,000 on the base mode of a new mac book, osx just works.

give me a break! how about this experiement:

case C: guys get his 5yr old notebook, install osx... can't even start installer.

case D: guys spends $2,000 on the latest thinkpad T series, install linux, linux just works. and does the same as the 9k macbook
