Silly Product Instructions?

canfirman asks: "Not exactly a serious question, but maybe good for a laugh: Our company is bringing in new printers into the office, and I noticed that the on-screen instructions state, 'Do not pull pages until after the printer has finished its job'. I thought this would be a redundant instruction (kinda like, 'Don't run with scissors'), but it got me thinking - what are some of the dumbest instructions you have ever seen on a piece of software, hardware, or appliance?"

Microsoft advert at tip of page

'does linux have a lowet tco'

Personally. i'm apalled that slashdot is running ads like these after all the hundreds of articles that have appeared on the pages stating the opposite.

I know they have to make money through advertising bu they can, and should, refuse to carry ads like these.

Would an anti-abortion website carry a banner ad for the nearest abortion clinic - I don't think so. Slashdot should not be carry pro-microsoft advertising.

Alright, I'll bite.

Slashdot is not an anti-Microsoft organization. Slashdot is a forum where people get together and talk about technology. There is no Slashdot charter that states that Microsoft is the devil and no one should use Microsoft products. Microsoft products have their place. Let them spend their money keeping Slashdot alive. It's not HURTING you...
