For all you troubleshooters out there…
First one to post up the right answer might get a prize from the infamous Funcave prize stash.
Unless your last name is Stanfill. Or you have a pink blog.

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.

And here I thought I had found the answer to my More Mobile Than Mobile quandary…namely, the problem of carrying all the associated stuff.
Big ups to Engadget for finding this. I think.

The favorite pastime for people too lazy to learn how to play a real guitar buzzsaws its way onto Windows Mobile later today.
Available as either a one-time purchase or subscription license, Guitar Hero III Mobile includes a pretty good initial setlist…
Put Iggy Pop’s “Search & Destroy” on the playlist, and I’m an insta-buyer. Put “Sweet Home Alabama” on there, and I’m a lifetime purchaser.
Better yet, come out with the REAL killer game for Windows Mobile based on fake musicianship!

What’s dumber than a virus intended to “revive the golden era” of virii?
The nitwits what designed and coded it, that’s what.
Here’s how the description should really read…
The virus will then hit at random, but only once. It will not replicate itself, mail itself to your friends or destroy any of your files, but instead provides you with moments of blissful surprise and magic…at least until you get a pink slip for violating your company’s usage policy for intentionally infecting company machines with a virus, that is.
Yeah, I know…harsh. Know what’s harsher? The amount of money burnt on time-wasting productivity-killing b.s. like this.
Best of all?
This so-called virus is Mac only.
