"ID ten T error"

Subject: "ID ten T error"

I was having trouble with my computer so I called Richard, the 11 year old next door whose bedroom looks like Mission Control, and asked him to come over.

Richard clicked a couple of buttons and solved the problem.

As he was walking away, I called after him, 'So, what was wrong?'

He replied, 'It was an ID ten T error.'

I didn't want to appear stupid, but nonetheless inquired, 'An, ID ten T error? What's that? In case I need to fix it again.'

Richard grinned. 'Haven't you ever heard of an ID ten T error before?'

'No,' I replied.

'Write it down,' he said, 'and I think you'll figure it out.'

So I wrote down: I D 1 0 T

I used to like the little shit.

A little humor never hurts :D

The IT guys around here use that phrase. They also use the phrase "pilot error" like what the FAA says after a plane crash.

One of my favourites has to be 'chair-keyboard interface error' ;)

Sounds like it is closely related to Operator head space error.:noidea:

Then there is "excess contact resistance". This is usually a cabling problem. The excess contact resistance is caused by a large air gap between the plug and receptical.
