Preflight inspection of the turbine ... CHECK!

He really laid it on the flight line. 
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.

When I watched it the first time, I had to think about what another pilot had said about ducks getting into the turbines: Just some grey smoke for a few seconds.
Fortunately it were just his clothes that really got sucked through the turbine in this case. The intake gets too narrow and he got stuck. His clothes were sucked off and did enough damage for an automatic shutdown and that saved his life.

It is a tough job which needs a lot of hard work, but also tolerance and discipline. 
But now I am to old and also afraid of getting sea-sick.

I'm from such a bad year that I was not even invited to join the Dutch army, that was a big disappointment to me, but now I think it was probably for the best.
Played a lot of Battlefield1942 to compensate

You can't work out why any of your breakpoints are being hit.
...until 10 minutes later you realise you haven't attached the debugger.

There's a debugger?  Why does nobody tell me these things?!

Because you've never posted in QA? 
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

You are really tired when you wake up in front of your display and see your code moving upwards because you are holding cursor down key pressed and you think: "Sh#$, what was I doing?".

And you know Visual Studio is tired when you're in the debugger and it doesn't break at a breakpoint.
Toggle breakpoint, it works again!
Or, failing that, restart Visual Studio and it works again!

Had you said 2 minutes or even 5 minutes, I'd have gone with it. But, 10 minutes? That's just age catching up, Chris.

Or that the code has redirected from the dev server to the production servers, so no break points either.

I have been tasked with researching TFS for use at my company. I know little to nothing about it. Can you guys recommend a decent book for setup and administration of TFS?
Thanks
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

Here 
In other words, avoid TFS if possible.

So you DON'T have an answer then?

Correct. We have a wonderful woman at work that took TFS training. Just yesterday, we asked her why one of our devs wasn't seeing my latest code commit. After some fussing, she suggested restarting Visual Studio and doing a "get latest" again. Yup, that solved the problem.
She actually is incredibly knowledgeable about TFS, this was one of those "tool flukes."

Ya, but ALL tools have some issues. I've used TFS before, and aside from it's hideous web UI, the source control portion VS integration seems to work OK.
Any concrete reasons to NOT use it?

Compared to tools like SmartGitHg, the UI is incredibly klunky. OK, granted it integrates with the task management / work ID BS that the company uses, which is more incredibly klunky UI implementation, and nobody uses it anyways except to create work ID's and supposedly track amount of work done on a task, which nobody keeps up to date anyways.
So, yeah, there again, I'm complaining more about processes than the tool itself. But still, the UI and UX is so much more inferior than what I experience using SmartGitHg.
