Regarding redirect. I mean is this article going to be more than just a list of dictionary definitions? Fail-safe as an idea is well discussed and it makes more sense in safety engineering. -- Taku 00:08, Aug 11, 2004 (UTC)
Failsafe are also a band from Preston - noth west England. See www.deckcheeserecords.com
Fail-Safe and Safe-Off are industry terms that should be defined in the Wiki. This is only place that my search engines found for a definitive definition. If any the site whould be cross referenced and provide additional resources to expand the meaning.
The link to fail-secure points back here. Either that article should be created or the link removed.
I agree, fail-safe and fail-secure are different things. cyberjacob —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.107.43.158 (talk) 13:37, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
Software Does Not Fail
The following passage in this entry made me cringe: "The automatic protection of programs and/or processing systems when a hardware or software failure is detected in a computer system." Permit me to refer the editing team to the technical screed at http://niquette.com/paul/issue/softwr02.htm -- and, yes, it is an original work; however, the title and its position, which were controversial back in 1996 when the essay was first published on the web, are now standard fare in technical documents and specifications.Paul Niquette (talk) 15:06, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
