I work for a company that makes enormous diesel engines that are used on ships and submarines. Somebody called up one day and just asked for technical support. He got ME. The first thing he told me was what ship he was on. Then he said the name of the machine and started telling me the sound it was making... the name of the machine was not familiar but I figured it was an old computer and I was just about to tell him to "reboot it" when it occurred to me that he was talking about an ENGINE and not a computer! So I verified this and transferred him to the right person for him to talk to.
Then I found out that it would really not be a good thing to just shut down a hot diesel engine and restart it. :shrug:
