That nice moment you discover that the backlight if the keyboard is not broken but you forced it off and removed by mistake the tool to set it…

My wife and me are returning teenagers, having a race to finish reading Harry Potter’s books. We feel almost childish. 

Experience and confidence

Did You Know that unskilled individuals tend to grossly overestimate their abilities while high-skilled individuals tend to believes that tasks they perform well at are easy for everybody, thus underestimating their abilities Let’s hope I’m not on the spike speaking of my IT proficiencies… Sorgente: ScienceDump – Timeline | Facebook  

That ackward time

That ackward time when you feel silly, dumb and dumber all the same time. That is when you found another seemingly innocent one-liner that triggers an infinite recursion with stack exaustion and consequent crash of the app with something as simple as: properties_upper: INTEGER is do Result := properties_upper-1 end The silly aspect is that…

Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is a compatibility layer for running Linuxbinary executables (in ELF format) natively on Windows 10.

Some people may say that we’re at step four:

Dear VMWare, why do you keep telling me that my newly registered and freshly activated account is inactive?

Activate Your My VMware Account

You must activate your My Vmware account before you can log in. To activate your account, open the confirmation email sent when you registered for your account and click the link in the email.

If you have already activated your account and think you may have received this page in error, click Back to log in again or close your browser and try again.

I can tolerate being forced to use a couple of times your proprietary software – paid by my employer. I also acknowledge that it’s not the latest release.

Just let me tell you that finding «vSphere Remote Command Line» for GNU/Linux is just a pain, as the link you provided into your own ESXi 4 is hopelessly broken.

Mildly put using your website is a severely suboptimal experience.

Greetings.
