Name the funniest tecnology "glitch" you've heard of.

[rdean]

The glitches the health care site made me think of other glitches. Most being in the private sector.

Examples:

Ipods

Windows

Wall Street computers

Playstations

Microprocessors

AutoDesk Inventor

Carrara

and a million other software packages.

But this one was the most funny to me:

United Airlines (UAL:US) said it’s reviewing whether to honor an unknown number of tickets accidentally offered online for free after faulty data was put into its reservations system.

The $0 fares were only on the United.com website for “a couple hours” at midday and weren’t distributed via channels such as travel agencies, said Megan McCarthy, a spokeswoman for the unit of Chicago-based United Continental Holdings Inc. United’s Shares reservation system didn’t cause the fault, she said, without giving further details.

United Sells Free Tickets for Hours Before Website Shut Down (1) - Businessweek

The tickets actually cost "$2.50". Zero for the ticket and a two fifty security fee.

That's my all time favorite.

Any others?

You mean like where your individual health insurance policy that you've paid for for years gets cancelled by the end of 2013 due to not being aca compliant and you can't sign up for new health insurance on the aca website because it doesn't fucking work and if it's still not working by 1/1/2014 and you need medical attention you are fucked?

Yeah, those kinds of "glitches" are hilarious.

Fucked is what you were before when you didn't have even a chance at health care.

Strange that Republicans screamed we don't need or want health care and now they scream they aren't getting health care. Can't they make up their tiny, brainwashed and pointed little minds?

If you don't sign up by 15 December you won't get coverage in 2014. If you don't have coverage by 15 February you get fined.

Getting health care is easy, getting insurance sucks because of the government.

Guess you missed this part:

your individual health insurance policy that you've paid for for years

Your retarded is showing, dean. Oh wait, it always is. Carry on.

Oh damn, you said health care not insurance. Liar.

Yup. I asked this question in another thread ... if they don't get it fixed within the next two months those whose policies have been cancelled are sol because they're now without health insurance ... what do they do? Send obama the bill? They are totally screwed. And idiots like dean say "fuck 'em".

America gets the bill anyway. Why do you think Mitt Romney started this in Massachusetts? To keep the state from going under.

Medical Bills are the number one cause of bankruptcy.

They had perfectly good insurance that met their needs and thanks to the (un)aca, it is now gone. Good God, you're an idiot.

That was a bad glitch. I had to keep reassuring everyone I knew that the software glitch had been fixed already.

PROOF? What part of an AffordableCA would tax every item that is used to fix you and sock the insurers with 10s of BILLIONs of addtnl taxes and toss more billions in subsidies and then


expect Care to become more affordable?
