Software support fun
-
For an order entry software which creates the files for automated machines in the factory. Customer: Can you please tell me where I need to go to change the size of the smallest piece that is able to be cut? Me: What is the size of the part? Customer: Well, the part is 3.250" high and the length is 6.500" less than the base height. Me: You realize that makes the length a negative number? Customer: Yes, but we must have the part. Me: The part has a negative length! Customer: I know! Now tell me which setting to change to allow small parts!!! Me: Okay, but The Department of Home Land Security warned us that it could break space and time. Go to the global settings and in the empty field marked spare, type NL=OK. Customer: That worked, it even allowed more parts to fit in that sheet of material. Thanks. A few hours later, the machine begins cutting parts, a large bang is heard. An enormous rift develops where the machine once sat; everything is pulled into the rift. All life ended Friday 19 October 2012.
