IgnoranceI once was in a programming class where the task was "build a calculator". A student did one with buttons 1, 2, 3 all the way up to about 25 and then ran out of space on the screen. We've asked this before but liked it so much we're asking again: What's the best example of ignorance you've encountered?

How much?I recently saw a CD player with "all silver internals" and "custom oil-filled resistors" being sold for the princely sum of £192,000. That isn't a typo, it reall is nearly two hundred grand. I imagine then you could justify £10K speaker cables...

THE OFHC guy had a friendwho in 1991 spent £20k on a pair of interconnects to link his CD player to his amplifier. That's twenty grand for two 30cm lengths of coax and four phono plugs. For that money I'd expect it to be marinated in the Pope's spunk.
