NOSMOKE
After experiencing difficulties with his computer, a poor, incognizant user called the system maker's technical support line for assistance:
Technican: Hello. How can I help you today?
Customer: There's smoke coming from the power supply on my computer...
Tech: Looks like you need a new power supply...
Cust: No, I don't! I just need to change the startup files...
Tech: Sir, what you described is a faulty power supply. You need to replace it....
Cust: No way! Someone told me that I just had to change the system startup files to fix the problem! All I need is for you to tell me right command...
For the next ten minutes, in spite of the technician's efforts to explain the problem and its solution, the customer adamantly insisted he was right. So, in frustration, the technican desponded...
Tech: I'm sorry. We don't normally tell our customers this, but there's an undocumented DOS command that will fix the problem...
Cust: I knew it!
Tech: Just add the line "LOAD NOSMOKE.COM" at the end of the CONFIG.SYS file and everything should work fine. Let me know how it goes...
Ten minutes later, the technician received a call back from the customer...
Cust: It didn't work. The power supply is still smoking...
Tech: Well, what version of DOS are you using?
Cust: MS-DOS 6.22...
Tech: Well, that's your problem. That version of DOS doesn't include NOSMOKE. You'll need to contact Microsoft and ask them for a patch. Let me know how it all works out...
When nearly an hour passed, the phone rang again...
Cust: I need a new power supply...
Tech: How did you come to that conclusion?
Cust: Well, I called Microsoft and told the technician what you had said, and he started asking me questions about the make of the power supply...
Tech: What did he tell you?
Cust: He said my power supply isn't compatible with NOSMOKE...

Det skal du, da de færreste har behov for at læse et indlæg, hvor der er mindre end 10 tegn. I en gængs debat vil et sådan være overflødigt.

Erik: Jeg ringede til Microsoft og fortalte dem hvad der er sket, jeg fik en masse at vide om opbygningen af en strømforsyning.

Det kan den sagtens være, jeg kender en, der har ændret på sin strømforsyning, så han kunne nøjes med at køre 110 volt og derved spare strøm.
Desuden har jeg hørt om mange andre, der har prøvet det samme, men halvdelen er nok bare fortællinger, der har ladet sig inspirere sig af andre.

En af mine venner har lige lavet nummeret med de 110 Volt :-) Det var dog ikke med vilje, men det var stadig sjovt!

Jeg synes nu stadig det er skørt, man ikke må tilkendegive sin holdning med et LOL. Så må jeg jo bare til at skrive Lauging out loud i stedet for, det er da på over 10 karakterer :-)

Du skal måske give mig skylden Wolly. Jeg har tidligere spurgt om de ikke kunne lade sig gøre at udelade tomme indlæg. Jeg foreslog at sortere efter antal anslag (10styks). Sorry :)

[Men i så fald kan man da konstantere at Microsoft har god værkstedshumor i supporten... :D]
Heh, det har du helt ret i. :)

Kan en funktion laves sådan at man ikke kan skrive tomme indlæg? Eller at man mindst skal skrive over 10 bogstaver. Jeg ser da en gang imellem at folk kommer til at poste tomme indlæg. Hvis man satte en grænse på 10bogstaver, ville man slå indlæg, som "LOL" ihjel.]
Der var som en grund til at jeg foreslog 10bogstaver og ikke bare 1. Åbenbart var det en god ide. :)
