According to this, it was Larry Tesler who invented it, while working at Xerox PARC. He's still alive, so unless retirement is Hell for him, your wish has yet to come true.

well i guess i learned something today.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

Don’t close the folder. I never close anything.
Sorry for the late reply. For some reason my computer is really slow...

That's exactly how I somehow always end up with 25 Explorer windows opened at the same time. And the taskbar preview for them makes it impossible to find anything (another one of my first-world problems)...

Please post something amusing.
Thank you in advance.

Quote: Waiting for applications to shut down
Windows Explorer (playing logoff sound)
Don't know if this message is ever accurate, but if it is, I find it rather annoying that shutting down/rebooting Windows can get delayed because it's busy trying to play the logoff sound. Of all things that can go wrong...
Worse: When this happens on a machine that's been configured in Control Panel not to play any of those cutesy noises on various events. Or an RDP session that shouldn't be playing any sound whatsoever.

well the, it's your own fault for changing ms default settings,
at least that's what the folks on technet always say,
and you know they must be right, they've got certs, lots of certs, and gold badges too,
anyway, unlike them I'll be kind and jump right to their eventual answer (save running sfc/scannow and posting logs all over the place.):
format all your drives (connected or not, even those in your safe may be infected) and reinstall windows. and no cheating with dvd's either whatever you need is in the ms clod.

The phrase "cat employer" is an oxymoron. The term employer implies that the cat would pay you, which is obviously a ludicrous notion.
Cats have clients who pay for their services.

I've installed SSMS on the Surface, and I can get into the prod DB, no hassle.
But when I try to access the test DB it fails. It can find the server on the servers list, but can't retrieve he DB's or login - but it used to work on the Wookietab, and I've changed nothing. I've checked all the obvious stuff (login data, port 1433, ...) but I can't even find a login failure in the SQL logs on the desktop.
OK, let's take a break from that and try crochet or something instead ... maybe it'll sort itself out tomorrow.
Bah! Computers - who'd have 'em?

It's a microsoft device; you have to use it they way they've decided you should use it.
... And they don't believe in testing.

Borrowing from Apple much?

Not "borrowing"; "trying to emulate", and failing badly.
