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." -
"I say we take off and nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."

You can't decide such a thing. You're only a grunt! ... No offense.

And -10 trekkie points for you, too! I can't believe two whole CP members didn't get the reference! Has CP changed focus, and become for those who collect beanie babies?
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!
If it makes you better I did get it, but I'm a poor pedantry guy, also, I'm not a whole member, I'm just a bit of it.

True Story: User complains F3 does not work in our program, nor does Fx in general. She is offsite. Nobody else at the company is complaining (which we tell her). During an onsite visit, WEEKS later. I see the user, and I assume the problem is fixed. She calls out to me, and proceeds to show me: 1) She has a keyboard drawer 2) The extra wide keyboard does not fit very well 3) She presses, F then 3 and it does not work At which time, I pull the keyboard out further, and look at the top row of keys. She looks at me and says: "Do you think it would work if I pressed the one labelled F3?" I told her I wasnt sure, but she should try it. And it WORKED! I pretended to be amazed with her. The owner of the company said "I know you will tell this story, just PLEASE never mention my company name!" OMG, she did not know the keyboard had a row of keys on the top. Worse, there were no less than 3 computers within 10 feet of her, and others using the program. She NEVER ASKED anyone how they get it to work. I remember actually drinking that night. Laughing and Drinking. A little crying for humanity mixed in...
From my younger tech support days: We have our customer who runs all his business needs on a thin client. And they start complaining about network issues, and "lag" and connection hanging. We have 1st tech go in, troubleshoot the network, do performance metrics on the server, spending 4 days, finding nothing. Problem goes away. Next week, same call, we go there, troubleshoot the network, analyze logs, replace a switch.. for the sake of it.. still find nothing, her thin client works as expected. And the very next day, we get the call again. We drive there, and this time, go to her and ask her, please show us how it's not working. And, to her dismay.. everything works.. and tells us we "scarred the machine into working". So we decided to wait around until lunch, meantime she continued to work. And then it happened right before deciding to go. She calls us in victorious, see.. I wasn't lying.. She presses keys, they sometimes type, sometimes lag, mouse was skipping and so on. And then I noticed the keyboard.. it was wireless. I asked her, when was the last time you replaced the batteries on this thing? And she giggles.. I didn't know it had batteries.. I thought it just worked.
