I don't think it was a big deal.

Baruch sneaks up behind GSOgymrat, then blows up and smacks down a paper sack loudly!

I do hope you realize I was referencing the boner and not the alert. I would have been in total panic mode.

No I did not.  My Oija board wasn't plugged in ;-)

A wrong button pressed by some poor sap, ruined career, and probably not deserved.  I'd like to see the choices the poor sap had on screen!

Websites and menus are often non-intuitive guessing games built on idiosyncratic notions of the designer.  They are more like puzzles to be solved.  Sometimes its fun to mess with them, but sometimes I just want to order a fucking pair of socks.

Socks are good.  I very much miss Footjoy Cushion Sole Socks that came in many colors.

But when it comes to serious screens, "Blow Up The World" should probably not be on the same drop down menu as "Test The System".

The article described it ... I/F design fail.

I know the feeling.  I once had a process to send offices their telephone call data.  So who did I send the wrong report to one time?  The Head of my Agency of course.  Arggghhhh...

Born under one law, to another bound;
Vainly begot, and yet forbidden vanity,

We 'new atheists' have a reputation for being militant, but make no mistake  we didn't start this war. If you want to place blame put it on the the religious zealots who have been poisoning the minds of the  young for a long long time."

It must be something to see--Trump, after all, called him "Rocket Man" for some reason......................
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?<br />Then he is not omnipotent,<br />Is he able but not willing?<br />Then whence cometh evil?<br />Is he neither able or willing?<br />Then why call him god?

Of course not, double a half-wit.  I was in the business of assisting offices to manage their own costs.  I got them to look at cell phone and smart phone costs to not let SOME IDIOTS stay on line 24/7.

PS - Do the math before getting annoyed... ;)
