Not at all acceptable!

BA- the company that thinks all women love to wear high heels and makeup and if they don't, they should be forced to.............

It took a decades long fight to get them to admit that trousers are an okay thing for us to wear too!

oh, the poor technician on the Therac-25.

back in the day I had a job at a hardware store with an early point-of-sale system, where you entered the stock number via tenkey. I got practiced enough that I was entering numbers faster than it could switch pages, and therefore accidentally registered the wrong source of payment for each transaction I ran. Took the owner four hours one evening to figure out why the drawers wouldn't balance.

Oh man, we covered the Therac-25 in my first-year uni computer science class, as part of the ethics section of the course. Freaked the hell out of me back then and still does :S
