Because software, unlike a major civil engineering construction project, is often easy and cheap to change after it has been constructed, a piece of custom software that fails to deliver on its objectives may sometimes be modified over time in such a way that it later succeeds—and/or business processes or end-user mindsets may change to accommodate the software.
Leading open-source figures and companies [10] have complained that software patents are overly broad and the USPTO should reject most of them.

Performance is greatly increased, but in case of a local storage failure, the remote storage is not guaranteed to have the current copy of data (the most recent data may be lost). Semi-synchronous replication typically considers a write operation complete when acknowledged by local storage and received or logged by the remote server.
