Suppose you forgot to note Intel bugs and ... neitrino
No one system can guaranty 100% stability and crash-proofness
Even hi-tech space devices (both US and USSR ) make a faults
(it's not just data loosing on your HDD, it's $1000000...)
If we'll talk about hardness of this world we'll never write
a line of code. At my working practis I'm using very simple technology -
write small block of code test it hardly and go further. This works 90
times
from 100.
