Love it  would make a great email sig
I once, many many years ago got into trouble for changing my email sig (work mind you) to 'there are 10 kinds of people who understand binary ...' - a lady called my boss and wanted me sacked because 'she didnt get it ergo I must be making fun of stupid people' .. after my boss explained to her in perfect management way that it was a particular form of humour, and 'Garth would be spoken to' he came over to me to which my response was 'I rest my case' - and he laughed till he cried - like most management back then with tech people on one side and business on the other, he had to walk a fine line, but he did a good job in general

Sounds like my boss. A very good sort, and one of the best I've ever had.

people often remember the 'good old days of x, y, z....' - to me, the good old days of 'IT' were when 'IT' and 'The business' were equal partners - I see all too often these days an 'adversarial' relationship between IT & the business, that really doesn't do either side any good
...I guess I'll crawl back onto (or under) my rock now and dream of utopia

Windows Ten is here;

but they've lied, before

Which, if you interpret any "release" product from Microsoft as really meaning a buggy-beta you should not use (except on a dedicated test machine) until it has been out for a year or so ... won't happen

W10 is an exception. Since the updates are bigger than the Iso, W10 qualify to Alpha stage.

So where's the haiku? 
|
|
|
|
|
Well it should have been
reworded differently
"have had no gigs yet"
But I just copied
Direct from the newsletter
Miscounts not my fault
I still think its good
Despite inaccurate scan
But not for pedants

There once was a poet named Tucker
Who wrote odes in praise of his mucker
But sad to relate
What was said by his mate
Was "I wanted a haiku, you %&^#$@"

I'm not sure what the exact wording to my latest Windows 10 install failure message was but I understand the implication.

Ah ah ah. You didn't say the magic word.

Haha! I had the same thing. Those messages are crazy...
Win10 said: "We have taken over your computer. Everything is fine! Don't push keys, stupid-human! I warned you...
Look at this failed image from my recent auto-force Win10 update release:

Priceless!
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.

You must accept 1 of 2 basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not alone. Either way, the implications are staggering!-Wernher von Braun
