If you're too scared to go look for yourself, ask me
about COTSE. I'd be happy to tell you about it.

Do you know of a single piece of software produced by the open source
community that doesn't contain a bug?

I don't recall any vendor producing a bug-free application in my 20
years with computers.

hello world



But: every proved software of course does not contain a bug.

Open-source or closed-source...bug-free software is a pipe dream.
(Note to the coders of Oracle's "unbreakable" software: Yes, this
includes you.)

Even the space shuttle, IIRC, has one bug per X-hundred thousand lines
of code. (Sorry, can't find where I read this.)
