    "After spending an hour on the phone with Microsoft's India-based support team, I resolved the problem. Unfortunately, I never figured out the cause or the fix; things were just suddenly working."

    HE resolved the problem without knowing the cause or what he did! WOWSA, it's like magic DOODZ! Better grab this guy for your support team, he's worth his weight in gold!

    MS Hint: When speaking to Indian based MS support, for best results, hop up and down three times on left leg. Please contact support if leg is inoperative, leg is missing, or gravitational challange is experienced. A patch will be provided.

  3. The jury has been good, but mixed. by Threni · · Score: 3, Funny

    What does that mean? The people who are judging the product consists of white and black males and females,with some straight, gay, disabled etc representatives?

    Or do they mean that the verdict was good, but mixed. Which means...mixed, and not good.

    It looks like the grammar and spelling of the articles posted here are being dumbed down to the level of most of the comments!
