I mean no offense to old ladies. But THIS IS THE PERSON who BFL has doing quality control?!!?!?!?!? That explains why GigaVPS mini-rig died in one freaking day LOL --
But seriously. How can you not question the talent\skill level of an 80 year old woman? THIS is the person who is in charge of making sure your asic\fpga device is working.
BFL is looking worse by the day.
Wow, I don't know where to start with this one, since you clearly lack any understanding of how these rigs work.
First of all, this woman is testing FPGA boards. Since the vast majority of those boards worked just fine, I'd say she's done her job fairly successfully. Even entire QA teams fail to spot every single dud product.
Secondly, the issue with Giga's rig was with the PSU, which should have been tested by Thermaltake (who, by the way, do have an entire QA team).
Hereforth, we can deduce that BFL's QA tester has done her job better in this instance than Thermaltake's (presumably young male) QA tester.
