A very legible video, any engineer can appreciate

Fantastalastic video, it explains all in a suitably scrambled format sufficiently obscured so as to maximise the unnecessary complexity of the apparatus diagnostic run through. Even now it gives away too much information and may breach the knowledge barrier required to prevent any normal mechanic from performing a useful task. I feel the language used and the video may also be in serious breach of national security regulations on the unlawful disclosure of defence technology. Clearly the rules and regulations will have to be tightened up so as to prevent any further incidence of this sort. The ratio of gobbledygook to plain language is too low. A strick policy of non disclosure of technical information should be in-forced. The degree of difficulty in understanding must be increased so as to prevent any greater education of all those concerned in the dissemination of any useful data.

...The degree of difficulty in understanding must be increased so as to prevent any greater education...

You're good... May I invite you to my secret society?

O.K. You're it. I may join it later on, as it progresses to except people like me:

"I'd never join a society which would except people like me" - a quote

Hi yes I have my own secret society trouble is it is so secret even I am not allowed to join. As my first post. The visible rate of perspiration developed by the person explaining the aforementioned functioning of the apparatus should be in proportion to the energy expended while indulging in as much physical dexterity as is proportionately required while conveying as little useful information as is ordinarily possible for a professional idiot. I hope I made my self sufficiently opaque as required by the new laws on disclosure.

...as little useful information as is ordinarily possible for a professional idiot...

Wow, could you possibly elaborate?

Ok Yuval I am un able to further eleberate because to enlighten a fellow human is now considered an offence so desperatly bad that our govenment goes out of its way to de-educate its population by sucking out all monies required previously and re alocating them to all other people who are specified as non UK citizens. It is now a chargable offence to admit to being an English man. Our prime minister and chancellor seek to de-anglisize all residents within what were once the british isles. Gobbledy gook is my only way of conveying any sense without the thought police getting wind of my educational status. I pretent to be an idiot who knows the answer to everything but who knows nothing at all. A little knowledge is indeed now a desired achievement. Must go some one is knocking down the front door bye.

...out of its way to de-educate...

Right. It's the same here: being certain of something, anything, is an insult to a potential listener. To be heard you must pretend to be an idiot, joggling assumptions, and pipping sideways so that no one around is available to intimidate the listener into taking a hike.

But, Hey, admit it: conveying knowledge these days, real knowledge, becomes not just an art, but pure magic: The guy does not know why he agrees, but it's too late: the ball's already in the court. It's a challenge because we are collectively entering an era of real, deep, ignorance. Yeah, I know, "speakforyourself", OK.

That's why it's so glorious: fight the beast. It's back to the middle ages, surrounded by hi-tek gizmoes, no one really knows how they're made or work. Not even their appointed creators.

Why do you think they invented the consept of global warming just so they can reverse all we have achieved so far. The ludites have it and they intend to make us all feal guilty for wanting to have even a modicum of comfort it is all their collective guilt trip. Now it is being comercialised and we are paying for the privilage of being ripped off at every turn by self interested parties who not only want to crap all over us but charge us for having done so.

...so they can reverse all we have achieved so far...

This, indeed, is an apparent trend associated with the term "New Age". In Hebrew we have a term to describe someone so beaten by the stresses of life, he no more cares about anything which may demand his responsibility or effort: "Rosh-Katan", meaning a "shrink-head" or "small-head". The new age syndrome is indeed such a thing. People are so dazed by a myriad of attention-grabbers, they turn catatonic.

When, thanks to the flood of trivia through communication, you're faced with endless competing versions of anything subject for consideration, you panic, plain and simple. Hence: Occam's Razor. The global regression in the level and quality of education is symptomatic to a mental shut-down of curiosity. So, inevitably, it all ties up.

...their collective guilt trip...

This new age prompted the growth of specialised opportunists: they prosper to capitalise in an environment of confusion.

We too are mutants of this breed. We quickly adopt jargons relevant to any fleeing situation, manipulating our way to pass the message in stealthy ways, and immediately take-off, letting the seed to germinate in our absence.

The collective guilt mongers, are another breed of such mutants, only their goal is not to pass a message, but make a speculative marketing magic, of tying capital or political knots. Their commodity is people, not knowledge.

Most top ranking politicians are rich, because their motivation is collecting people, collecting power, collecting glory. They are show-biz freaks begging for attention.

...we are paying for the privilege of being ripped off...

That is what being "Rosh-Katan" is all about. Wanting some peace. Not caring to be bothered by any responsibility whatsoever, no matter what the eventual price may be. Let the world go up in flames, for all I care, just let me be. Don't bother. My car broke down? fuckit, I'll buy another. Don't have the money to buy it? fuckit, I won't have a car. The GUI in my windows got freaky? I won't bother to re define it. I'll just re install windows.

It's a state of mind, not a retrievable situation. we are being collectively dragged into this numbing age of catatonia. Very few will rise to the challenge of individual self-emancipation, Very few will take advantage of this growing catatonia, and capitalise on despair, and a few will become self-appointed crusaders to rid the world of this and that, according to their individual prejudice.

Something's got to give. The collective human resource-base is a zero-sum game.

Yes that sums it up in a nutshell. Just watch out for the final phase when the last light goes out because no one knows how to put another shekel in the meter. Let alone how to feed the power generator, replace the fuse, light a candle. It deeply depresses me that so few can cast so much missery on us that we would contemplate the final act of desperation, asking some one to sacrifice their existance so we may continue in our own.

...It deeply depresses me that so few can cast so much misery on us...

Here's the magic: it shouldn't depress you, because you are (anyone is) an exterritory, a world-within the world, in which you're it all: the folk, the government, the army, everything.

You define your inner conduct as well as your foreign affair policy.

Now, isn't this a real wormhole into an alternative reality?

Ok I will try to be a better less bitter person but it is very hard when all you have is the hope of a better future while you stuggle to cope with a very difficult present reality. Up the revolution. I am in constant pain and have been for over twenty years. The doctors just shrug the shoulders and roll their eyes while my life is in ruins. So much for a better health service! We pay more every year and get less in return.

Thats life for you.

Yowsa! I just upgraded my technical vocabulary by 5000 words!

Be careful, man. You don't wanna burn too many cells by turning them occupied. I'm told it runs under,"Read-Only" tag.

Just watch it for your pleasure, and try to remember as little as you can. None is just perfect.

Disclaimer: This is not a general surgeon's warning.

If so, most dictionaries would have upgraded their listings by almost that same number.

Interestingly, the "lex" in "Texlex" (being derived in part from both Greek and Latin usage) was intended and expected to effectively, if indirectly and obliquely, broadcast (and/or hint at) my interests in (and proclivities toward) utterances and various similar displays and/or waxations of one or more of prolix varieties that human discourse and ingenuity (and/or happenstance) may yield or beget.

You guys realize that video was meant as a joke, right? They keep referencing things that don't exist, like the "Turboencabulator"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turboencabulator

The article mentions the videos and the history behind the joke.

I like how the guy said in the end "You will be directed towards a series of tests that will effectively raise the billable hours to the service department, but will perform no other function"

And... "All other faults should be treated as if they do not exist ... and the customer should be told that it is caused by too much gas in the fuel system."

"Join us next month, where we'll cover ash tray and cigarette lighter operation, diagnosis, and repair."

Hahaha... that's just great. And I love the technobabble.

...And I love the technobabble...

Who doesn't? Each for their own latent reason.

Your realistic approach is a welcome breeze

Sorry "Joke of course not" Where were you educated, every word makes absolute sense. The encabulator you mention is a real factual item. It fits between the verticle end encapsulator and the shaft rotation bearing module so as to prevent any unwanted movement. Oh boy you have so much to learn of automotive engineering.

I have a masters degree in uninteligable language skills and a Phd in differential non descriptive auto jargon scrambling. Now you know.

hahaha, ok, well I stand corrected.

Hi there do you walk with a limp? Your leg has been pulled. I just did a masters in obsolete non functional digitally obscure technology. (jargon)
