Or, perhaps more importantly, what if you DON'T want to reset settings?
Admin
Ctrl+Z
Admin
Write a mouse driver which has two pointers, so you can click both buttons at once?
And if you want to cancel, only the three finger salute would be possible. (But I guess this server is not Windows-based.)
Admin
I see that all the time. "Click here to cancel your application"
Then you receive a Javascript popup saying "OK" and "Cancel"
Admin
Press any key to continue, any other to quit.
Admin
But I can't find the "any" key on my keyboard!!!
Admin
I'm guessing Reset will reset any changes you've made, and apply will apply those changes and restart the router.
Admin
What if the escalator breaks down?
Admin
Escalators cannot break down. They can only temporarily become stairs. You will never need an "Escalator out of order" sign, only an "Escalator temporarily stairs" sign.
Admin
Well buy one then.
Admin
It means that you should press the Left Shift key. If nothing happens, you most likely a fried motherboard. Call up the manufacturer for support.
Admin
I guess your keyboard is filled with any other keys then.
Admin
That wasn't me, now lets get the full quote back in here so it doesn't get lost...
Press any key to continue, any other to quit.
Admin
I see escalators out of order all the time. There is another state besides moving escalator and stairs. If the escalator is under repair, usually they block it off, i guess they're worried something will happen that might injure someone.
Admin
wat ist this IP server? Does it have TCP anywhere in it?
OOooh, I get it, because Intellectual Property is something new and different and needs its own special server to store it or else the terrorists win.
Admin
That sounds like something Mitch Hedberg (RIP) might have said...
Admin
Indeed he did. Awesome comedian, Hedberg.
Admin
I love how in the corner it says "protect your data", while meanwhile it's possibly threatening to reset your data. :)
Admin
Sorry for the convenience.
Admin
"Bob" from India (or whatever country they outsourced this code to) should be able to clarify which does what, you think?
Admin
"Would you like to not save your changes?"
Admin
Admin
He certainly was. Sad day when I heard he would be no more.
"Rice is great when you're hungry and want 2000 of something."
Admin
He did say that. Funny Guy.
Admin
So I looked at that site, and their ANY key actually says "ANY KEY" on it. That doesn't seem quite right. My A key doesn't have "A KEY" on it. An ANY key should just have "ANY" printed on it.
Further, this site's "Blue Resistor Earrings" are made from capacitors, which "have 1 microfarads!".
Their geek credibility is rapidly falling.
Admin
I see esc, citarel and pigup. Phew, all this computer hacking is making me thirsty. I think I'll order a Tab. Oh.. no time for that, the computer's starting!
Admin
I'm sorry I was late, what was that I just missed? Oh I see, it was 'the point'.
Admin
Well, you might find it here: http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Any_Key or here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Any_Key
Admin
I was trapped on the escalator for three hours when the power went out.
Admin
There is a funny video about this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8kydGYJP4I

Classic case of a message box with insufficient choices. It needs a third button labeled "Default." --Rank
Admin
The computer said, "Abort, Retry, or Ignore." I did the last one. Two hours later, the computer still hadn't responded. Cheeky lump of silicon, ignoring my ignore like that. --Rank

Sometimes as escalator becomes a de-escalator. I saw this once at a busy store. The escalator had stopped so people were using it as stairs. So many people were on it that their weight overcame the brake and it started drifting down as people walked up it. Soon it was going at such a rate that the top person was couldn't make it off. They all turned around and rode it to the bottom. It soon stopped and a new group of people did it again. Wish I'd had a video camera.

Admin
The label is correct. I gave these to someone and now I can't resistor.
Admin
--Mitch Hedberg (rest his soul)
Admin
I saw a news segment about escalators that break&stop while people are on them. The people go falling down fast and hard. Made me wince just to watch it.
Admin
Well.... I guess you knew her.
Admin
I remember one time working at a new company. I started typing, looked down and couldn't find the space bar. I called someone over, Where's the space bar. They pointed to it. That's not the space bar, it says "Any".
Apparently so many people had asked where the "any" key was, they put stickers on the space bar that said "any". I shook my head and started hitting the "any" key any time I wanted a space.
Admin
I was in a casino, I was standing by the door, and a security guard came over and said "You're gonna have to move. You're blocking the fire exit." As though if there was a fire, I wasn't gonna run. If you're flammable and have legs, you are never blocking a fire exit... Unless you're a table.
Yeah I love Mitch Hedberg, all of his jokes where he says his name work perfectly for me.
Admin
Just to be a nitpicking bastard ;-)...
Technically TCP doesn't have anything to do with routing.
All the routing is handled with IP and ICMP, and the TCP/UDP/SCTP/whatever is encapsulated in the IP packet's payload.

I love Mitch Hedburg too, but this is false. The escalator at my university was "out of order" and fenced off for an entire term; we weren't allowed to use it.
They seriously thought that re-routing around 70% of all traffic at a large university into obscure stairwells because the escalator is on the fritz was better than letting us use it as stairs...
Admin
Admin
But the space bar is supposed to be the widest key in the keyboard. How could you miss it? especially when all they put was a sticker. hmmm. I say stupid.

"Press any key to continue"
Hehheh, there is an "Anykey" in my dvd player remote...
Admin
when i was 8 , my sister told me that the any key is space bar :) (she was 14 )
Admin
I have genuinely been asked "which is the any key ?" by users at least twice.
