Stephanie – I’d like a diet vanilla coke please.
Cashier - We have no diet vanilla so it would have to be a regular diet vanilla coke with vanilla.
A Sonic TaleI laughed when I saw this:
Windows 7 activation error: 0xC004F061
If you receive error “0xC004F061″ when trying to activate Windows 7, it means you’re using a product key for an upgrade version of Windows 7 and a previous version of Windows wasn’t on your computer when Windows 7 was installed. To install an upgrade version of Windows 7, Windows Vista or Windows XP must be installed on your computer. If you formatted the drive before starting the installation process, you won’t be able to use the upgrade product key to activate Windows 7. To activate Windows 7, you’ll need to install your previous version of Windows, and then reinstall Windows 7. For help with the activation process, go to the Microsoft Support website.
Seriously? Is that what you call customer service? Rather than giving your customers an option to enter their XP/Vista product key you want them to reinstall the old operating system only to reinstall Windows 7…. Does anyone else see something wrong with this? So if you don’t want to reinstall two operating systems there is a registry fix to get around this.
Hope this helps

Prison v. WorkWhen you work in the technical industry you will find yourself reading Dilbert a lot. As I read them I send the links/images to my coworkers to point out how almost everything Dilbert goes through we go through. That in turns begs the question that I get at work, “Do you write Dilbert comics”? No I don’t but the man who does is a genius.
No I Don’t Write Dilbert
