    I imagine a giant space mirror to reflect sunlight so that one place has 24 hours sunlight, and another is in total darkness. I like most IT people would flock to the dark side.

    I love and hate being the "Go To" guy. I often describe the reason you become one as NDA disorder.

I have never understood how people can avoid work by claiming to be too stupid to do it but I have seen it many times.

  24. Old Windows Installer Messages on World's Youngest Microsoft Certificated Professional Is Five Years Old · · Score: 1

    if you ever find yourself installing an old version of Windows and are not paying attention, you can almost get excited by the list of "new features" in the old version of Windows. Their OS may be so so, but their propaganda has always been top notch.
