10 Computer Mishaps

Ant writes "ZDNet UK posted Ontrack Data Recovery's 2004 list of the 10 strangest and funniest computer mishaps... Some of them are funny!" My best mishap was installing the alpha video driver on an NT 3.51 box thinking that it was just an alpha driver. Of course since this Alpha meant DEC and this was an x86 box, the server barfed pretty hard. Also the time I spilled an 8oz glass of water on my laptop and lost all my email from 1994 to 1999 and my backup was corrupted. That I liked too.

Not to sound like a miserable bastard, but exactly which of these are supposed to be funny?

One only needs to look at the lame stuff here that gets mod'd +5 funny to realize that nerds have absolutely no sense of humor.

It also shows that you should never make up funny stories to tell on Slashdot, cuz they don't like to laugh and get pissed that your trying to make em laugh.
