Is the CPU Management skill broken? I trained it from lvl 3 to lvl 4 and then from lvl 4 to lvl 5. At both points it did not appear to add any more CPU to my ship.

This thread reminds me of my tech support days back in my youth:

Customer: My computer screen is dark, why won't the crappy PC you guys sold me turn on?
Me: Have you tried turning it on with the button on front?
Customer: Of course I have tried, do you think I am a moron?
Me: Is your computer plugged into the wall ma'am?
Customer: Yes.
Me: Ok, there is a little switch on the back of the case that controls the power supply, could you please make sure it is in the on position for me.
Customer: Ok... Just hang on. The power is out here, I need to find my flashlight.
Me: /facepalm

There is no hate going on. Seems like you're casting the first stone. All I see are people having fun, and weren't even being any where near insulting as you see in a lot of threads.

Was an electronics tech in the navy and reminds me of the 3am wake up call.

I walk over to the equipment and wave the operator over. You see the [OFF/ON] switch. Operator nods... You see it was in the o f f position.

My brother works as technician for an ISP company. He has to fix issues for people who have troubles with their connection and Tech support was of no help to them. About 2/3rd of it involves plugging in an unplugged cable, turning on the on/off switch or insert the electricity plug. Only 1/3 rd are real tech issues. Yes apparantly people don't even bother to check their plugs/connectors etc, even after Tech support asks...

So next time you hear Tech support ask you the 'dumb questions' of *Did you plug it in? /Turn it on etc etc* Know that it is for a reason. It's simply the most common cause of the issue... Perhaps not for yu, but they ask it anyway as it does solve it in most cases.

I work in tech support for a Genetics research company where even some of the clerical staff have higher degrees. However tech support never changes. This Dutch comedy skit is really very very accurate and always cracks me up:

Had similar.

Person I was talking to was a branch manager. He should have known better.

Me: "When did you notice the problem?"
Manager: "When the power went out 20 minutes ago. They are doing construction up the street."
Me: "Is the power back on?"
Manager: "No, not yet."
Me: /facepalm
Me: "Why do you think the computer will work without electricity?"
Manager: *silence*
Me: /facepalm

EDIT: Another favourite of mine is when a fiber got cut and a Bell serviceman came in and told the manager all lines are down, and the manager called me on his mobile to complain that computers wouldn't connect to our network. /facepalm IPoAC? Sneakernet?

I did IT for 12 years. I have lots of stories.

Welp. This response is great. At least OP laughed at herself upon realization.....

rofl... great vine here...

edit: reminds me a of a girl I dated a while back. We were watching a movie... DVD... the kind that has the feature on one side and the additional content on the flip side.

She put the DVD in and I noticed the menu was for the commentary and extra featrues... so:

Me: "The DVD is in upside down."
Her: "No it isn't"
Me: "Um, yea... it is."
Her: "Nooo it isn't, if it were the picture on the screen would be upside down."
Me: "........"

This thread is so refreshingly lighthearted that I want to pin it.

Inside my heart.

I just undocked for the first time and someone challenged me to a duel. Wat do?
