Geez, how patronizing. They might as well print out your code and put a gold star sticker on it with "good work!" written on it with red pen.
That, at least, would involve personal effort by an actual human being.

Why does the sun only come out during the day? The light woudl be more useful at night.

you're not allowed to have visitors who drive pickup trucks.
That's OK, I'll just say it's mine.
Well, that's certainly not allowed either. Seriously, they'll forclose on that.

I have to agree, even in Corrupsylvania we have laws that regulate your property to conform to certain guidelines to maintain aesthetics that relate to your neighborhood.
I suggest you avoid southern California, then. Especially the People's Republic of Irvine, where the homeowners' assocation will fine you for leaving your garage door open form ore than 15 minutes, and you're not allowed to have visitors who drive pickup trucks.
My employer used to have a labor management system (to track what happens when for scheduling purposes) created by the national office of the coop we're part of. The pair who created it were from a different king of retail company, where there was a better understanding of the value of IT, and they had little support in creating Version One. Which is to say, their budget for developers was $0.00, and they ended up with the person from the secretarial pool who claimed to know how to do marcros in Excel.
What they ended up with was an Excel spreadsheet that was too big to email (and we run our own mail server), and literally had minimum hardware requirements (2 GB of RAM, IIRC, and this was long enough ago that most of our beefier office machines were running 512 MB).
While what you say is true, it doesn't change the fact that someone who can't operate a computer, even with instructions, simply can't hold down a job in the 21st century. You can't run a cash register at McDonald's if you can't use a computer.
I'm trying to figure out what's the bigger WTF, a guy selling computer training who doesn't use BCC or a guy who hits Reply To All without looking. Or Gmail allowing you send out to a couple hundred addresses at once without any warning.
No shit, Sherlock. Did it pretty well, too, given how many fish struck at the unbaited hook.
Pretty standard stolen credit card, ship expensive, easily fenced goods to another country scam. Just too stupid to put in what expensive, easily fenced goods he was looking for. Expensive hardbood flooring is popular these days. A couple of years ago, it was expensive door locks.
I have two locations serviced (and you know what I mean by serviced) by Frontier T-1 lines. One of them had serious problems - it dropped offline several times a day for several minutes at a time. Frontier insisted it wasn't at their end. I replaced the firewall, the router, everything. Same problem. Finally, deciding to not be the TRWTF myself, I walked in to the phone close to see what would be involved in rerunning the cat5 from there to the room the router was in. What I find is that when the previous owner of the store switched from DLS to T-1, the phone company's box ended up a coupld of feet further away from the point of entry in the wall, and the cable was too short. So they spliced it. With wire nuts. On cat5.
