Note to self…
Never yank memory out of a server that was just running multiple servers in Hyper-V and maxed out on memory.
At least not without something to put them down on…fast! I guess they don’t call them heat spreaders for nothing.
Owwwwwwwwwww. Time to go ice my tech pimp hand.
Totally worth it to see this tho…

Trust me on this one.
NEVER make this setting change on a virtual machine…
Unless you really don’t care how it runs, or if it runs at all.
Or if you just want to see what it would be like to run Small Business Server with the processing equivalent of a Sinclair ZX Spectrum…
Kicking it old school. Word.

You have to see this.
Watch closely at the start of the video, to see what lights this candle.
Office Worker Goes Absolutely Insane - Watch more free videos
That’s right, someone knocking over a stack of papers.
Here’s the last half, in color and with sound.
Office Worker Meltdown Second Angle - Watch more free videos
What I really don’t understand is…
There’s a door. More than one. So why didn’t more of those folks use one and get the h-e-double-hockey-stick out?
When crazy people go crazy, it’s time to get as far away from them as humanly possible.
Watch closely for how this guy get subdued. Please tase him, bro!

Weird weird issue on the normally kickass server here at the Funcave, which just so happens to be named Charlene. As in…
The name of this server is CHARLENE, SIR!
Tried to copy a 45GB VHD file to our girl…
A file which came courtesy of someone who just so happens to have a pink blog…
No matter how many different ways I tried to copy the file, Charlene eventually got into a totally frozen state. No matter if I tried to copy directly from USB HDD, via network client, or copying from another share, eventually Charlene would become totally unresponsive at the console, sever all network connects, etc.
Now Charlene’s a badass in her own right…
Charlene’s running…
Seeing all kinds of weirdness trying to copy files to/from her.
All the mayhem starts when Free Physical Memory drops to sickeningly low levels.
Anyone with any serious knowledge of what’s going on wanna ping me? I’m talking Windows Server team, etc. Or anyone with the last name of Russinovich.

Let me come right out and get this review over with in one sentence, for those of you who have important things to get done…
The new Indiana Jones movies TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY SUCKS!
Yep, I said it.
Don’t waste your money on this tired old gasbag of a movie.
In fact, I won’t waste your time going into the innumerable ways it sucks.
But I will tell you this…
Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Oh-Who-Gives-A-Damn-Anyway makes Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom look like an Oscar-worthy MASTERPIECE by comparison.
Which I’m sure will make Kate Capshaw very happy.
Instead of telling you all the ways that the latest Indiana Jones delivers every cliche and hackneyed idea that has been put to film for the last 27 years…
Ever since Raiders of the Lost Ark basically kicked the ass of every action movie that had come before it, not to mention all that have come since…
I will instead share with you all the alternate titles I came up with while waiting for this pig of a movie to end tonight…
Raiders of the Aching Lumbago
Indiana Jones and the Search for the Golden Geritol
Indiana Jones Soils His Depends
Indiana Jones and the Last Sandwich (which he promptly gives to his anorexic girlfriend, Ally McBeal)
Indiana Jones and the Quest for Even More Special Effects
Indiana Jones and the Sequel of Doom
Raiders of the Last Nerve
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of Gullible Viewers
Indiana Jones and The Final Sellout
Raiders of the Last Box-Office
Indiana Jones and the Lost Cliches
Raiders of My Last $10
Feel free to post up your own opinion, or alternate title suggestion.
But if you want my advice…
Wait for this piece of felgercarb to hit the video store.
