..."Wired has an article on the 10 worst sofware bugs
<http://wired.com/news/technology/bugs/0,2924,69355,00.html?tw=wn_tophead_1> .. From the article 'Coding errors have sparked explosions, crippled interplanetary probes -- even killed people. Here's our pick for the 10 worst bugs ever, but the judging wasn't easy.'" Appropos of this from today's Wasshington Post (http://media3.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/11/08/AR200511 0801778.html): "Freddie Mac will reduce its profit for the first half of 2005 by $220 million due to an error caused by faulty accounting software, the mortgage finance company said yesterday." Yeah, right. The software made me do it. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
