All hail the Universal Turing Machine!
Any language that attempts to abstract away its pure beauty is a tool of the Devil, and should be expunged from the face of the planet!
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I was trying to connect to internet. Didn't get success as there was some problem with network connection. Tried to get help from troubleshooter. It started doing something and suddenly prompted " windows is not able to connect to www.microsoft.com

That's like the old "Keyboard not found. Press any key to continue " BIOS message.

Yeah, and try finding a keyboard with an any key!

"There seems to be a problem with your internet connection. Look online for help and resources?"
I believe that's a standard too

I also like the old BIOS message:
"Monitor not found. Please plug in monitor and press any key to continue."
How do I know that is there? I saw it on the monitor!
How did the BIOS makers think that would get to the user? Telepathy?
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

The hoax of gravity makes the "global warming" hoax pale by comparison.
If you can't see what the matter is with the idea that gravity "holds" anything, that is absolute proof you are in the state of cultural hypnosis known as "ordinary reality."
Levity is the only thing holding things together.
Once you begin to realize this, you will tread more lightly with more spring in your step.
You will realize that helicopters, airplanes, and birds, do not fly ... because you experience the fact that you, and everybody, and everything else, are flying, and, since everything's flying, you can drop the whole baggage of the concept and pay more attention to your current miraculous altitude.

Yes, but levity is what makes holes in bread, isn't it?
We wouldn't want it to get too full of itself and think it could start making holes anywhere it feels like it.

Thank you for that post, I needed a good laugh. Indeed, laughter holds a community together!

And all this time I thought that it was duct tape that holds the world together.

Easy to resolve, because exam papers aren't in the public demesne until after the exams are over, so they can provide him the documents after he's sat them.
What worries/bothers/annoys me is the organisation that has offered him work. They must be right shtibags if they think that such deviousness is useful behaviour.
