Oh yeah and another bad one. I was working as a Unix server admin at a Telemarketting place. Ok so they need a file moved out of the archive back to the working directory. so do my little mv"file"space "directory" ...enter


Ok all done....hmm dir..no file found...hmm cd.. dir... no file found ...wtf..


phone rings and its the manager of the call center


Oooo umm ahh oo I uh I, I dont know what happened, i was um ah I uh my computer just crashed, all the computers in the building just crashed.. I , I ahh

then it hits me

I just moved the entire working directory into a new one named the file name, and 300 people are on the clock getting paid to look at blue screens on dumb terminals....
