Read this (http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q276/3/04.ASP) and then tell me, do I have to memorize that or should I write it down?

Go here (http://rinkworks.com/stupid/) for some good laughs. I liked the quote at the top of the page. http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/wink.gif

One liners:

A printer consists of three main parts: the case, the jammed paper tray and the blinking red light.

Real programmers don't document -- If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.

Software undergoes beta testing shortly before it's released -- Beta is Latin for "still doesn't work."

As a computer, I find your faith in technology amusing.

No comments? That first link has to be one of the funniest/weirdest things ever on the MSKB.

There once was a young man who's life long dream was to become a famous writer, one who could move people to tears, stir primal emotions in the most hardened of souls.....

So he sets out to seek fame and fortune....He writes error messages for MIcrosoft.

(Paraphrased form the original, wherever that came from....)

And now obviously KB articles, too!
