Troubleshooting is part of my job. The problems I encounter are usually related to M$ Windows; I can assure you from personal experience that doing the exact same thing over and over again to fix a problem actually does quite often produce different results. :-)
You got that right. I think M$ installs a sound-responsive module in Windows (that analyzes vibrations in general, thus not requiring a working microphone, sound card, etc.) that allows it to measure the frequency and intensity of swear words used by the person attempting to do the work on the computer, and it varies its responses in such a way as to maximize said frequency and intensity . . .
Question: What do God and M$ Windows have in common? Answer : They both work in mysterious ways.
God, however, at least makes sense.
