Fox News is reporting that First Data has double or triple billed 800,000 credit card transactions in the last week. First Data said it was a caused by a hardware problem.

Hold it just one damn minute...Hardware problem? I don't think so.

Hardware is hardware. The Operating System (software) runs on the hardware, and integrates with the Application (software - (CC authorization and verification)) that allows the application to interface with the hardware.

How in the hell can this be a hardware problem? It can't be.

Hardware is hardware, and software is human. Some software people are covering their asses.

I realize that humans create the hardware, but that is not what we're talking about here.

Someone really screwed up on this one!!!
