<div class="IPBDescription">My friend just trashed yahoo</div> Imagine going to work and updating a simple section of software, only to find out that you forgot something simple in a very important area. Sure we have all made coding errors in our lives but I think this one wins the day.

Needless to say 270,000 Yahoo billing accounts are now erroneously marked as past due instead of ONE!!!.

The names have been changed to protect the not-so-innocent.

[20:36] xxxx: you don't have a backup?
[20:36] xxxx: anywhere?
[20:36] YHguy: no this system is stupid.
[20:36] xxxx: WTH kind of crap is this?
[20:36] YHguy: i can't believe they don't have a backup.
[20:36] YHguy: well i'm not sure this will hurt the system.
[20:36] xxxx: You might want to start looking for cardboard boxes.
[20:36] YHguy: dude this isn't funny.

gg yahoo coder.

Maybe I should help him start working on his resume.

    Why... don't be so mean.
    To <i>really</i> **** things up requires a <b>human</b> to be operating on the [required] computer.

    Marik didn't make that up. Well, if he did he wasn't the first. <span style='color:orange'>I'm probably not, but I must admit seeing my name as the source of someone's sig was a bit of an ego boost <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> </span>
