人际:有什么话是你无论如何别对IT说的

from Quora Selected 附导读

What's something that you should never say to an I.T. person?Neil Plotnick, Computer Science TeacherWritten Mar 31 · Upvoted by Victor Rutledge, Computer technician from 1984 until retirement. Worked at Dell, Compaq, and others and Alexandru Rosianu, M.Eng. Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence, University of SouthamptonI spent 15 years in IT and here are a sample of my favorites:1: “My keyboard is not working, can you give me a new one?”I replace the keyboard with a new one and as I carry the old one under my arm, I get doused with the leftover cup of coffee that had been dumped into the “broken” keyboard.2: “Something is wrong with the file on my floppy disk.

Can you stop it?”5: “I was getting an error message for the past few weeks telling me that the hard drive was failing. I kept clicking OK and everything seemed to work fine….”6: My boss told me that his UPS did not keep his computer running when we had a power issue. When I crawled under his desk I discovered that the only thing plugged in was his cup warmer.7: VP of Development was angry and I was asked to check why our backup system was not working properly. I waited in the server room after hours and noticed a spike in activity from our software developers on the network. My investigation revealed that they were all playing a multi-user tank battle game flooding the network with packets. When I reported the issue to their boss the next day, he was pretty furious. All of his developers were being paid overtime and the product was way behind.8: “Can you check why I’m out of disk space?”On various occasions I have found profiles of Russian women searching for husbands, videos of zoo animals copulating (not kidding, tear my eyes out!), every single email from the past X years (never deleted a single one!), uncompressed audio files from a CD collection……….
