ok, so my mom is really really light skinned and I am dark skinned, and her favorite thing to do was pretend she didn't know me in public. It was so dumb and she thought it was sooooooooo funny.

I just got asked by a software vendor support if I have installed TCP/IP on my computer yet...

Ummm, Yeah... As opposed to IPX/SPX???

I can't even!!

I think what they must've meant to ask "Do you have an IP address?". . . there is no way someone could possibly think that TCP/IP isn't in play. . .

@dustinb3403 No, trust me... she was serious... AND she asked that AFTER being in the computer on Teamviewer.

I'm about to hang up and call back and see if I get someone else to answer the phone.

If she asks who you use for your TCP/IP, tell her AOL

I had one the day. vendor installing software they support and could get it running....... Kept giving crystal reports error, dll ocx type thing.

They tried all day asking if there was some permissions not working (I gave then local admin access and there domain user was a admin )

Left them to it.

They gave up. Took me 5 minutes to sort. All it needed was the right runtime installing .......

Yeah, not happy with that silliness. We dropped it about fifteen years ago.

When asked what Java and JavaScript have in common, 52% of respondents in an "IT community" didn't know between prototypes, JAR files, and bytecode compilation (hint, they have none of those in common.) Only 48% got that right. What? How is that possible? This is one of those "trivia questions everyone knows that non-tech people get wrong", it's talked about so much, how could anyone have avoided it? So many articles about how they are unrelated. Like... how do hide from that information so completely and guess wrong? The number of people getting this right is very close to the percentage expected to get it right from purely guessing - literally!
