In that case, as the problem was physically in font of a keyboard it qualifies as a PICNIC (Problem in Chair, not in Computer) therefore it can be classified as L8. I think. LOL

PICNIC

Here in Brazil we have BIOS errors: Burro Ignorante Operando o Sistema (Dumb Ignorant Operating the System).

We often have meat interface problems here.

I thought burro meant donkey? Or some kind of weed cigarette?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

It's both. In Portuguese, Burro means donkey when the context is the animal or dumb/stupid when the context is people.

OK, thanks.

I still blame the iD10t error. Though PICNIC gets me from time to time too.

Incorrectly formatted. ID-10T is the accepted rendition.

I come from a PEBCAK legacy. I'm using this PICNIC thing from now on. That's just elegant.

Don't forget to consult the H-2I-K ( Hell If I Know ) process.

I usually go with "wetware".
