Bite me!

The Apple Metric. Good to see Microsoft following standard business practices. ;)

The desktop monkey told me that I needed to use the Add Printer GUI wizard to test the print driver installation. Based on his reaction to my script, he's probably not familiar with the command line at all.

While your one-line of code will install a single printer, my four-line of code will read the printer URLs from a text file and install a printer every 30 seconds. Otherwise, it would take five minutes per printer using the GUI wizard. With 500+ printers to test, the time difference between using an automated script and the GUI wizard is ~4 hours vs. ~40 hours. Gotta a love a programming language that saves you time in cleaning up someone else's mess.

The desktop monkeys were shocked that a four-line PowerShell script could automatically add a network printer to a system. Windows behaves quite strangely with 500+ network printers under Devices and Printers. Not recommended.

The server team managed to blotched a printer migration from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2012. My boss threw me under the bus by volunteering me to clean up the mess involving 1,000+ printer queues and four servers. Just when I'm about to finish three weeks of work, the server team pulled the old print servers without warning. That created 100+ tickets from angry users who can't print. Another fine mess to add to my resume.

I've been getting emails and Windows taskbar notifications from Microsoft for the last week that Windows 10 was coming out YESTERDAY. I checked yesterday. None of my systems had Windows 10 ready to install. So something screwy is going on here.

FTFY

Didn't Windows 10 came out like yesterday (Wednesday, 7/29/2015)?

You never really own your own home. If you don't pay property taxes, the local government will foreclose and sell the house to someone else. If that person doesn't pay property taxes, rinse and repeat.

Seems like a new Prius shows up in the parking spaces of my apartment complex every other day. Especially in the DayGlo color paint. Could be a Silicon Valley thing.

That many testers for Mine Sweeper?

Does anyone use Scroll Lock for anything?

I hate having a numeric keypad on a laptop. I want the keyboard to be centered with the screen and not off to one side. I recently bought an inexpensive 14" Dell laptop because the keyboard didn't have a numeric keypad. The sales clerk tried to upsell me on a 15" Dell laptop with much better hardware specs, but the keyboard had a numeric keypad and I didn't want that.

Python and extensions have to compile to the same version of Visual Studio to work together. You need VS2008 for version 2.7 if you want to stay compatible with everyone else. A lot of people are still sticking to 2.7 for now.

Obviously not on Windows.
