      Playing devil's advocate here, they probably are referring to the fact that most people have more than one device that can access the internet. However, back when the internet was still new and before smart phones you would sometimes see that error and definitely shake your head.

      There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data. There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

          Don't be so restrictive and try to be a little more user friendly: Press any key to continue

          The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
          This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.
          "I don't know, extraterrestrial?" "You mean like from space?" "No, from Canada." If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

                        My boss was catched by that last friday here at work. Came to me claiming about "no internet, no connection to the local network". Took me less than 5 minutes to get it working again (checking the port light at the switch, opening a console to type "ipconfig", recognising that there was wrong a IP, trying "ipconfig /renew", problem solved). At the weekend I read the first articles about the problem. They suggested various solutions including mine. But Microsoft still suggested to restart on their web site ... Awkward issue: The systems did not always connected to the DHCP server at startup. I checked the server logs here and there was no request from the affected system. So restarting might help or even not.

                          By "their" did they mean apple's or ubuntu's web-site?
