Nice.

 

I once got on a plane to go to a customer site because they could NOT get an 
SNMP common string accepted. As I had at least half suspected, they were 
entering it in uppercase, despite multiple explicit attempts to get them to 
enter it in lowercase. (Yes, I'd suggested WebEx or equivalent; "Not allowed".)

 

Customer wasn't even abashed.

 

Case sensitivity and null-terminated strings: two historical Unix mistakes that 
have cost untold billions.
