The first rule of tech support: never fix a family member's computer. Once you touch it, you've signed an invisible lifetime warranty contract. Six months later, they'll call you at midnight because their printer isn't working, and somehow it's your fault because "you were the last one who touched it." That poor soul's face says it all—the exact moment he realized he's now the designated IT department for every future Christmas, birthday, and random Tuesday until the end of time.

The code involved is something like this: string.Format("Global fO" (object) Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly0.GetType0.GUID); 11 17 44 M 888 1 foone Foone 15 Std. The idea is to get the GUID of the assembly that's executing and to create a GUID based on that, so now you can only run one copy of it. 2 17 20 M 650 1 foone Foone 15 Std. But it's wrong The GetTvpe0 part isn't supposed to be there. That gets the type of the assembly, not the assembly itself.

So what happens is that both of them are creating a global mutex to ensure only one copy runs, but instead of basing the GUID on their own code, they're both using the GUID of a part of NET itself.

The tech industry's version of "free choice" is basically four monopolies in trench coats. Meanwhile, the actual freedom fighters are these obscure operating systems that require you to compile your own kernel just to check email. Sure, you could run Linux and spend your weekends debugging driver issues, or just surrender to the corporate overlords who've already divided your digital soul among themselves. Freedom is technically available—if you have a computer science degree and infinite patience.

Server admin calmly stating "vSphere is still pretty great" until someone mentions "BROADCOM." Then the rage sets in. It's like mentioning printer drivers at an IT party - instant mood killer. For the uninitiated, Broadcom acquired VMware (maker of vSphere) and proceeded to change licensing models faster than developers change their minds about frameworks. Nothing says "enterprise stability" like your virtualization provider getting acquired and immediately making your budget explode.
