Comparing closed firmware with general purpose OS is bogusComparing closed firmware with general purpose OS is bogusPosted Jan 19, 2007 15:31 UTC (Fri) by tjc (guest, #137)In reply to: Comparing closed firmware with general purpose OS is bogus by pascal.martin Parent article: LCA: Andrew Tanenbaum on creating reliable systems
To add to my own comment, I also disagree with Tanenbaum's comment that DVD players are bug free and just work. Second. I have a (fairly old and inexpensive) DVD player that is subject to buffer underruns. Unexpected things happen when this occurs, all well outside the category of "just working." But I don't disagree with his premise, my cheap DVD player notwithstanding.
