One day I asked a friend: Which web browser do you use? He said what is a web browser? I told him: the one that you use to open websites and surf the net, he then said: aha okay, that's called a web browser? Yeah I use windows explorer :P

Times when i worked as technical support at dialup ISP (1998)

Guy called and told he cannot connect to internet.
After 10 minutes trying to find out, we(support guys) realize that he brought account, but he don't have modem and computer.
OMG!! how about sending him a gun? (with a barrel load of bullets) cuz if hes that dumb he will also fail at killing himself xD

Interesting... Maybe he thought that he can connect through his refrigerator or T.V. :P
I once had a guy ask me where's the ANY key. Turned out he got a "Press any key to continue" ... He wasn't dumb, just ... not clever ...
two days ago i sat in a meeting to address ongoing technical problems.
they brought in this indian guy who is supposed to be the technical expert
for system integration. the guy did not know what the difference is between
cifs, nfs and ftp and what each is best used for.

I rest my case.
:p what a technical expert.

here's something for you:
I am a computer science student at the Lebanese university at Fanar. the last time i was there, i was like chatting with my friends about computers, programing books, programs ideas, something related to our studies. i was like twisted and felt stupid when more than one was saying: i usually don't like to work on PC's ! it is a waist of time !
lol nice thread

heres one : i had a friend who was always bragging on being a PC building expert, at that time he was living in Dallas and was coming to leb and i was really in need for a new PSU for my pc. so i told him if he can get me one of those 600 watt antec PSU off newegg and ill pay him back when he gets here.
He went crazy and started arguing with me about the psu having too much watts lol!
He said that having too much watt power will burn out my pc components so its best to get something lower so i wont "burn" my components... after the conv i decided to cancel the whole thing and go look into Lebanese stores.
well, we always loved to do this stuff with the compu stores ! Some of them:
1- hello sir, yesterday I was playing on my computer and suddenly the colors on my screen are gone ! it was all black and white, so do u have ink to fill my screen colors again ?
2- benjeeb computer men el 3asr el 7ajary o ben2olo , this pc doesn't run some game ! Plz check it if it has a virus.
3- we buy a keyboard then switch the buttons on it (like o with a), and then return it the next day to tell him i press on the a button but i get o on the screen .. and when he tests it, and he wants to type a, he actually presses the o button location ! i mean, who the hell doesn't know where an a button is !

actually at one point, i was using 5 different keyboard layouts both azerty and qwerty, it as a nightmare!
I feel your pain my friend, am on a keyboard that has a "qwertz" layout, u can say only the z and the y are switched (German layout) with some shifts on special characters, and i still do tons of typos ! I just go typing as if it is qwerty layout .. and it sux realizing that after a couple of pages :P , u just wish u didn't and the typos stayed there, cause fixing them takes more time than typing all over again ! (find and replace is an option, but there is also the shifted special characters )

I have to shift between azerty at school and qwerty at home almost every day. It's a nightmare ...

PS Writing code with azerty is hell.
Bring a qwerty keyboard with you :)
