Heh. Oldie but a goodie. Reminds me of the story about the cop who, when asked for a copy of a disk back in the 80's, photocopied the thing. And this was with an 80's photocopier. Y'know, the crappy ones that gave out so much EM that they could erase a floppy?

Oops.

I once had an interview at a company that made equipment for faxing floppies...

Yes, they read the floppy contents, used fax protocols to transmit it securely, and reassembled it at the other end.

Curiously, a few years later the company no longer existed.

I had a job as a mail clerk at at a sattelite office to a defense contractor, and saw a secretary do that with a floppy. I informed the guys from IT, and they went down there to inform her of what she just did to the floppy in question.

...the next day, she had a floppy stuck on a corkboard, with a thumbtack through it.

Stryc9 I am going to say you are a liar, as your postcount indicates you are currently an internationally-popular, mass-produced commercial aircraft, and as such can never have worked as a mail clerk.

Also it is late and I am tired and I'm sorry I'm not actually calling you a liar it's just that that story is super ridiculous.

Pointless fact: My stepdad builds the software that goes on the "black box" that keeps airplanes from crashing into each other.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #3578 on:** 24 Apr 2009, 04:12 »

That's not what a black box does at all

pwhodges · « **Reply #3579 on:** 24 Apr 2009, 04:19 »

That's a different black box.

Jace · « **Reply #3580 on:** 24 Apr 2009, 04:32 »

There are multiple functions for the boxes. One of them is that they stop planes from crashing into each other and from crashing into mountains and stuff.

The overwhelming lack of crashes justifies a:'job well done!' to Pants' dad.

Job well done! Thanks!

I don't even get that last picture though. Mainly I can't read the handwritten note. Explain?

axerton · « **Reply #3583 on:** 24 Apr 2009, 08:09 »

The handwritten note has been traslated down the bottom of the picture, basically saying "here's the floppydisk you desperatly needed yesterday" and the floppy is stuck to the fridge with a magnet which in case you didn't know will erase anything on anyform of hard drive, and a floppy was essentially was a portible hard disk.
