If I come over to australia, can I get a kiwiburger?

I worked in The Warehouse as a loss prevention officer - its similar to Walmart. My Best Story

We had someone stealing plasma tv's. This is when we first started selling them. They were driving around the country and none of the staff knew how it was being done - except that the display plasma would dissappear off the shelf in plain sight. The head office called and said they were expecting the guy to either be in our store, or one about 100kms away up the other state highway.

Thankfully he came to ours.
What he did was he would come in with a trolley - and go down to the furniture department. In an out-of-sight aisle, he would take a resin table out of its flat pack box, then rest the empty box flat on top of the trolley.

He would then go upstairs to the entertainment department and wait until 15 minutes before closing. This is when the staffmember on the music/photo counter would close their till and start cleaning the photo developing machinery. Its a process where various chemicals were used so it was pretty time consuming. They wouldnt be paying attention to what was happening behind them only 15 metres away across the open area of the music department. At this time, he would take the display model plasma tv off the shelf and slide it into the resin table box, then go down to the stationary aisle, use wide sellotape to reseal the box, then walk through the checkout and pay $40 for a plastic table, with the plasma inside the box.

Thankfully we had just had our store refitted and so we had alot more security cameras than most of the other stores.

We got him at the door as he tried to leave after paying- and to add to the fun, the checkout operator that he went through, technically didnt check the weight of the box on the trolley, as she was ment to. None of the operators liked her as she was a nasty supervisor so that was fun for her the next day.

Someone downvoted you but i have upvoted you again because i think its a good question. If you dont get an answer, I'll say that today I learned the difference between end task (graceful request) and end process (forceful kill). I consider myself a seasoned windows user, and knew end task didnt always seem to work but now I know why.

Just say its a bunch of computers all networked together. Some of the computers sit in big buildings with thousands of others. These are called servers and they hold the information required to serve up websites when your surfing the internet. The buildings that house these servers are called data centres and there is one in most major cities - they are then interlinked with fibreoptic cables - that go undersea all around the world. I would stop there. Once they hear that there is a fibre optic cable running from New Zealand to the USA and hundereds of other super long ones going across the atlantic and between continents their eyes usually glaze over in astonishment.
