Still laughing at this, ran into this today. Can you plug the garage door opener into another plug? It was a lot of will power to not say "you dipshit, tell me what the 5 blinks on the led mean"
@alexandergosselin That's Bill Bruford with his late '70s, early '80s band, Bruford. The tune is "Beelzebub," from the album Feels Good To Me. If you've never had a chance to listen to any of Bruford's stuff away from bands like Yes, King Crimson, UK, Genesis, etc., then you owe it to yourself to check out Bruford and Earthworks.
The great thing about this old chestnut is that anybody in the electronics disciplines understands it. Even wrenchies and bottleheads can figure it out, although slower. [ahem]
Thanks. It's kinda an inside joke for geeky engineering types, but I've been surprised how many people appreciate it. Not GladILeft, though, I notice. Heh. At least he didn't burn me too bad.
Oh, there's a whole genré of jokes about Microschlock and automobile making, such as, "IF M$ made cars the way they make Windoze then cars would almost be capable of driving themselves; however, every few months the car would spontaneously explode, killing all occupants."
There's a raft of 'em. Just Google for "joke microsoft car making" or some such.
What I was trying to imply was that when the software engineer restarts the car; to see if the tyre will fix itself, he is mimicking the windows 95 method of solving operating system problems. The post script has nothing to do with the joke; it's just very cold where I live.
Ahh. Well, the cold boot has been used to "solve" problems since long before Win95, let me tell you. I can recall some 4-bit CMOS processor equipment that had to get the same treatment to "work" after a screwup. Heh.

I'd have pissed myself with laughing in the eighties, Wndws95&98etc, today i'm just too cold. P.S. We're expecting a 'high' of 2degrees today.
