A sign of the times, perhaps?

Is human stupidity reaching a whole new level? We had this joke for a long time among programmers and CS students, but getting to this point is pretty lame. I present, a question from the Compaq Frequently Asked Questions:

Yeah, I've heard that joke, too.

I'm hoping it's just a very literal-minded customer support group.
Webpage. Yes.

I actually ran into trouble with that... Like seven years ago, when you were at Fabrício setting up the first Duke Nukem modem game and left me here to check if everything was going well. After a couple of seconds I just hit the space bar and prayed not to screw up. Fortunately, it worked! :D

My first computer was a Compaq. I totally agree.

I think it's nice that Compaq is now catering for the most retarded computer users. :D

But phew, all this computer work is exhausting. I'm ready for my TAB. Hey, no time for that, the computer's starting!

:D

EDIT: Ah, my wonderful visual gag, ruined by the forums eliminating unnecessary spacing. :o
I'm OK. How are you?
