    You'd have to introduce a delay into the system. For example, instead of 100ft before the intersection, you would get your direction as you've already passed through the intersection, in an irritated voice; "Turn here!!!" Maybe add some profanity.

    If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
    1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
    2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
    3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
    4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
    5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

    Gene Cernan, last astronaut on the moon, dies on 82 - KWWL - Eastern Iowa Breaking News, Weather, Closings
    I was in third grade the last time we were on the moon.
    There's a pretty good display of the equipment used for that in Huntsville AL, if you're ever curious. At least there used to be anyway. Theoretically I've got a picture of my brother standing inside the bell of one of the space shuttle's main engines from back in the day when we went there.

    Re: The random thought thread

    Today I just saw the Mission Impossible episode called The Money Machine. It's from October of 1967, and the proposition is a digital color copier that can digitally print the currency of Ghana. I especially like the color printing technology.

    I almost fell out of my chair when Greg Morris climbs inside the device. When it's operated, Greg then proceeds to manually empty the paper tray, then slip preprinted pages into the exit tray. He's also responsible for cutting the currency to size (again a drawer receptacle, and pre-cut currency manually placed into another tray), and depleting the ink reservoirs, by way of removing alligator clips from vinyl ink tubes.

    The device is essentially a dark green powder-coated metal box, with a 10" tape drive on the front and a bunch of cool blinking indicator lights and toggles. I looked for a video clip, but I'm sorry to say I couldn't find one. It's really good for a laugh if you get the chance.

    I was going to say something intelligent, but then I realized your comment must be sarcasm.
    When you think you have made a procedure idiot proof your company employs a better idiot.

    If you're limited for time, fast forward the video to around the 29min mark.
