Brian,
I suggest you get your facts straight. Here is a quote from the article you
hyperlinked: ""WorldCom's preliminary investigation into this issue indicates
that it was apparently caused during routine testing of a development system
for Nasdaq and resulted in the service interruption."
There is no evidence here of "HUMAN ERROR" as you allege. No evidence
either of a "diagnostic test" as you also allege. We know that
nasdaq uses win2000 and, as alleged in this news item, a development
system was being routinely tested, then the system crashed.
Perhaps you should reread the link you gave us.
