    I'll post some of m y stories.  Here's a recent one.
     
    I recently got a job this past October where I work from home.  It is essentially a call center support gig where they send you the equipment and this 30+ page 'tech guide' in a duotang.  It is just a step by step instruction guide complete with pictures on how to set up everything.
     
    The only reason I used the guide was for the software setup and logins.
     
    Before the job begins we are told 'the first day is tech day to make sure everyone has everything set up correctly.'  I log in about 15 minutes before my shift starts and I get into the adobe connect room.  I'm the first one there aside from the two trainers and I make my introductions.  I get all the programs that I need up and running and I'm ready to go before the shift even starts.  They tell me that today is tech day and we can't get started until everyone is where I'm at.  The instruction I'm given is to just sit tight.
     
    Thankfully my work computer is right next to my home rig that IT can't track.
     
    5 minutes after 8am only 3 of the 11 trainees are in the adobe connect conference room.
     
    Long story short... I 'sat tight' for the full 8.5h shift and two hours into tomorrow's shift.  It took that long for these chain smoking scratch ticket buying spinsters to get set up.
     
    I also trolled the IT team... the computers they sent have built in microphones that they can tap into to listen to you.  I went into the BIOS and disabled the soundcard.  IT pulled me aside to try to fix it.  They told me to right click the volume icon and click Playback Devices.  I told them nothing was there.  They didn't believe me so they went into my PC via remote assistance and spent an hour troubleshooting the issue.  They came to the conclusion that I must have a buggy Thin Client... they told me they'll send me a new one but it has been about 4 months now and I think they've just forgotten about it.
     
    Another story I have is from 2009.  I read this troll post about switching the M and the N key to troll computer illiterate people.  I worked at a call center with no assigned seating and every new station I sat at I popped out the M and the N key with my keys and switched them around.  I only did it to about 4 or 5 PC's before I just got bored and stopped doing it.  About a week goes by and it pays of spectacularly.
     
    There was this, coincidentally, chain smoking scratch ticket buying spinster named Donna who took a meltdown over her keyboard not working.  My supervisor comes over and disconnects the keyboard and switches it out with one of the keyboards I happened to switch the keys on.  So she tries using it and triumphantly proclaims: "It's the computer, this keyboard isn't working either."  So the supervisor tells her to just go to another station.
     
    She goes to another station which just so happens to be another keyboard where I switched the keys on.  She then goes into a panic saying her profile has a virus on it that is following her from PC to PC.  I decide enough is enough and while my supervisor and Donna are working out the problem I just go "I know how to fix this."  And I popped out the M and the N and switched them around.  My supervisor goes into a laughing fit and Donna, still dead set on the virus theory, goes: "You didn't fix it you just hid the issue."  This causes my supervisor to just laugh even more and Donna is just looking at me like I just farted.
     
    I had to pull out my Blackberry and tell her to look at the position of the M and the N keys and compare it to the keyboard on the desk.  She still thought her profile was infected with a virus and wouldn't work until IT got her a new network profile.
     
    Another story I have is from 2007 or 2008.  I got my mom a laptop and I tried to get her to use Firefox over Internet Explorer.  I showed her how to use it but she kept using Internet Explorer and it was triggering me really hard.  She said her reasoning was she doesn't like Firefox and doesn't know how to use it.  So I ended up downloading an Internet Explorer skin for Firefox and I changed the name of the Firefox Icon to internet explorer and I replaced the icon with the IE icon.
     
    She still has no idea she's using Firefox.
     
    And finally, back in my Senior year of highschool in 2004 to 2005 a friend and I would prank call Best Buy's by calling them up and asking them how much their 'Wireless Power Supplies' cost.  I wish we would have recorded those phone calls because they were some of the funniest conversations I ever had.

    Have you done a reset on the switch?
    Try to telnet using putty or another program to 192.168.1.254 and hit the enter key a couple times or browse to that IP as well.

    kelvindeschutter got a reaction from QuantumBit in How do watts work?   
    those 280 watts is being pulled constantly (this will be amused for this sum) but there is a easy way to see how much power the pc will use every hour.
    E = 280 W = 0,28 KW (Kilowatts is what normally is used in the calculation to calculate you electricity bill)
    T = 1 hour (can also be more or less than 1 hour)
    E*T=0,28 KW*1 hour = 0,28KWH (Kilo watt hour) <= the amount of energy being used by our pc in an hour (this method can also be used on any other electric device as long as you convered it to KW. 1 KW = 1000 W)
    note: if you want to know how much it will cost just do KWH * energy cost per KWH
