No, you cannot. There are economical reasons (ruined, non-functioning
market of software), why it is impossible for anybody to design software
properly. Even if they wanted. Those who couldn't sell their souls are out
of business, long ago. There are some small niches remaining, rapidly
closing. Something must happen, really disastrous (and it will), that would
make the society and the law makers to rethink the ways. But so far
everybody is happy except for a couple of retrogrades from c.l.a.
