Fat-fingered Level 3 techie reduces internet to level zero: Glitch knocks out connections (The Register, of course)
OK, I see something. Local (NE Oregon) grocery stores were all screwed up. They had 3x the usual checkers on hand because the checkout computers were screwing up. Guy in front of me was having his goods run through 3 times before the cashier and customer accepted the results. I went to a different line and my 2 items valued at $5 each came up as $31.95. I was in the Few Items line and the cashier, who had been dealing with this all day, said how about 2 for $5?
