Two engineering students were walking across campus when one said, "Where did you get such a great bike?"
The second engineer replied, "Well, I was walking along yesterday minding my own business when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike. She threw the bike to the ground, took off all her clothes and said, 'Take what you want.'."
The first engineer nodded approvingly, "Good choice; the clothes probably wouldn't have fit."
An economist, a physicist, and a engineer are on a train as it enters Scotland. They see a brown cow in a field.
The economist says, "As you can see, the cows in Scotland are brown."
The physicist says, "No, there is at least one brown cow in Scotland."
The engineer says, "No. And no. There is at least one cow in Scotland and at least one side of the cow is brown."
To get MSH, first navigate to http://beta.microsoft.com/ and logon using Passport. Then, click where indicated just after the text "If you were issued a guest ID by Microsoft you can sign in" then enter the guest id of mshPDC (this is case sensitive!). You the need to enter your details and you should get beta details back within a couple of days with site access to the MSH bits.
How do I Load MSH?
Once you have access to the beta site, download the beta version of the.NET Framework 2.0 (a 24mb download), and the MSH Preview version (4.1 mb) from the downloads page. Once downloaded, run Dotnetfx.exe to install the.NET Framework, then run Windows command shell preview.exe to install MSH.
So that's 28MB (they say megabits, but you know they mean megabytes) to try out a shell? And it forces you to use Passport.
Sounds like a whole lot of Yak Shaving to me.
Cowards die many times before their death
The valiant taste of death but once,
of all the wonders that I have seen
It seems to me most strange that men should fear
Seeing that death, a necessary end,
will come when it will come

You are aware that the shells use black powder, too, right?
How would it be that black powder is too dangerous to lift the shells, but OK in the shells themselves?
