XKCD says it all.

I reported an issue to our software vendor that their BDE backed application would give an out of disk space error when trying to run a repair on the tables and I was told that I needed to increase the pagefile size! As I understand it, what was actually happening was that I had 4GB free disk space which wrapped the 32bit int, and by increasing the swapfile changed the amount of freespace - Cargo-cult tech support at it's best!

While some strive only to meet the 'appearance Turing Test'

I don't come here to be insulted, you insensitive clod!

When the BT engineer installed my companies fibre based connection, they did this, it's probably just as awesome but on a larger scale.
