Before you post that 'Why Programming Sucks' rant:

| Read my lips: Microsoft Windows is the problem with everything in
| computers, and it is the only problem. Every time I hear somebody
| moaning about how rotten the state of programming is, turns out they
| use Visual Velveta-something.
|
| Step outside the little Windows cage (populated entirely by
| college-minted MSCEs) and investigate BSD, Linux, GNU, Solaris, OS X,
| Minix, and Inferno; you'll find so much caring and passion, you'll say
| (as many have) that you've walked into a cult.

| ...where there's a big problem, you have a big problem, you are
| screwed because all you could get from the wild demand market of
| Microsoft's system administrators are the average ones, unless you
| really hit the jackpot, and this system administrators knows something
| else besides being a Microsoft system administrator.
|
| The average system administrator has a routine of troubleshooting
| problem solving, for example "web server with external Database
| server":
|
| 1. Restart the application/service (IIS)
| 2. Reboot
| 3. Reboot
| 4. Reboot
| 5. Call a colleague
| 6. The experienced colleague advice on a reboot, the guy tells him he
| already rebooted, and the "wise" colleague says something like "yeah I
| had this before, sometimes you need to reboot few times for it to
| work".
| 7. Reboot
| 8. Problem was fixed, 1'st guy tells colleague he is a guru, and
| happily goes home.
|
| Apparently the database was hammered from some stupid query ran by
| someone.
| Now first guy "learned" that 4 reboots solves a problem, and the
| real problem was never found.

(3) Reboot the machine
(4) Reinstall the application again
(5) Reinstall the operating system
(6) Dance naked around the machine, waving a rubber chicken
(7) "Take your machine back for servicing"
