Oops.
Anyone a fan of Joe Haldemans?

Programmers see this and they all laugh.
They laugh so hard they fall behind on their 
projects.
They get so rushed that many trivial bugs slip through.
People get deadly radiation doses from commercial machines.
Planes fall out of the sky. 
Cars crash driving through intersections green in both directions.
The people kill all the programmers.
Then the computers start failing.
The economy crashes.
All die.
Oh the embarassment.
