Indeed none of this is new. The extra complexity of modern software and hardware causes issues to pop up far more often than in the past.
I mean for fck's sake remember when the early Pentium CPUs had dividing issues (Pentium FDIV bug) back in the mid 90s? That was a bug that should of been easy to catch but wasn't because of the corporate/stockholder demand for more short term profits. No time to fix or test things because that costs money and we might not be the first to market.
