I missed the news. How did the little Klingons (CubeSats) following it do? Were they able to relay the status of the lander as hoped?

I'm an 'Murican on the East coast. Headquarters is on the West coast but we have teams in Europe.
I have an error in a stored procedure that is owned by another team. I've been told to ask the on call person for that team since they are located in the UK but probably won't get an answer until tomorrow.
All I wanted was to know the name of the repository so I could look at the source code. What really irks me is the person who told me that probably knows the name of the repository.
UGH!

The text of your URL and the URL itself differ. Was that intentional?

No, that's strange my URL is exactly the same (using Chrome) after clicking it
Oh, now I see what you mean, I tried to clean it up but that did not work out ...

Look at the URL under the caret ^ symbol, the one that opens in another window.

Oh, well then come over here... We now have "enterprise" TFS -- one TFS to rule them all. Everyone's code is in one repository.
Oh, wait. It's down today.
Ah, so then what do we do? Oh, well open a ticket in Jira...
Oh, that's right, we have "enterprise" Jira as well -- one Jira to rule them all.
Hmm... no... at least I can still log the issue in our team's SharePoint site.
It's "enterprise" SharePoint you say and it's having issues as well?
I am so out of here when I can, but first I have to check in my changes...

We have all those systems too. Well, enterprise github instead of TFS. Our Sharepoint pain is people post things to places we haven't been given access.
It's the developers in the other cities that are the problem, VERY protective of "their" information and very reluctant to respond.

And at sometimes it is really convenient, you can work on a problem in different time zones, so that you have 24h coverage.
We (east-coast) have teams in Europe and many times I have asked questions during the day and I know that when I will come back in the morning, those questions will be answered (and vice-versa).
I'd rather be phishing!

(Intended as a satirical view of managers who just don't get it.)
Manager: I need you to train this dog.
Developer: Sure, we train dogs all the time. It'll take a month.
Manager: I need this dog trained by the end of the week.
Developer: We can't have that dog trained by the end of the week; it takes a month to train a dog.
Manager: OK, then have this wolf trained by the end of the week for the interim, and train the dog next month.

And while you're at it, make sure you train the wolf to meow like a cat.

Now if only he had asked for you to put a diaper on the dog until it was trained. That would be more reasonable.

No no no, no time to train me to do that. Not even with a "Dummies' Guide to Diapering Dogs" and a long weekend.

I need an installation CDROM for this old operating system.
Do you know of any legal way to get it?
Thank you all!

I don't think so. The software is out in the wild, but I would be careful with any of the sites that are offering this.
Question, is there a reason you need this old version? Updating to the new version is not going to work for you?
Edit: If you can, get them on Windows 7, then slowly migrate them to Windows 10 when you can, if the app(s) will let you. Windows 7 end of life (extended) is sometime in 2020, I think.
