The fact that this comment has been modded insightful and not funny is a very real proof that the Slashdot readership is far removed from the hot grits days.
You forgot the essential cable...
No toolbox is complete without the etherkiller.

Well, he is just a kid. Probably had some imaging tools on the local server and couldn't be bothered to get the disk out. A beginner's mistake!
But you didn't look closely enough. Those were open racks with motherboards on them. The red lights provide a nice movie style heartbeat status display.

It is intentional. We are entering the age of consumer driven technology development. Even Microsoft is betting on the BYOD bandwagon.
The problem is, and it's going to take considerable time taking the wrong road to understand, consumers do not know what is right or wrong for the task at hand. We are abandoning working tool sets for barely usable tech, and every new gadget manufacturer assumes that the influx of new users of that device is going to overshadow legacy users. Steven Jobs had a knack for doing that right, but Microsoft large advantage was always its legacy support. They are starting to copy Apple even in that segment.
Devices are becoming dumber. Average users are becoming dumber. The age of hell for IT support.
We all know what is coming but it feels like the industry has been moving backwards the past few years. Features that were standard are disappearing being replaced by much more elaborate procedures in the name of idiot friendliness. The OS is being marginalised by it's shell UI. Not more computers, just appliances.
I am starting to miss Microsoft. And that is not a good thing.
