Yep. Two winters ago I drove an '88 Pontiac 6000 Safari Wagon. It
had two bulbs in each taillight. One of the two bulbs died causing
the turn signal to remain steady. I had no idea, because the other
bulb deceived me into thinking the light was fine, until my dad
explained that to me. (it was his car; I didn't know it had two bulbs)

Q: What is the difference between open-source and commercial software?
A: If you have a problem with commercial software you can call a phone
number and they will tell you it might be solved in a future version.
For open-source sofware there isn't a phone number to call, but you
get the solution within a day.
