Yes, I wrote a very expensive bug. In my defense I was only seven years old at the time (www.theregister.com)

Oh there are some details left out that I desperately need to have clarified.

  • Wouldn't the cost have been the same (perhaps more) if the exact same calls were being made during the day?
  • What exactly was the bug, and how would it have been resolved?
  • Did she get "fired"?

Also, I hate the name of the column. The frequent mention of the name "Who, Me?" just takes me out.

Also what appears to be a typo, Regomize, but is actually them merging "Register" and "anonymize".
