What Video Game Character Are You? I am Kung Fu Master.
I am Kung Fu Master.

I like to be in control of myself. I dislike crowds, especially crowds containing people trying to kill me. Even though I always win, I prefer to avoid fights if possible.

  • Replacement file system for Windows

  • System Center 2012 - No longer cloudy (sorry couldn't help myself!)

  • Choosing site codes for your Hierarchy

    When it comes to choosing site codes you have 3 characters to play with, and while crafting a new site code you should be aware there are a bunch of reserved site codes that cannot be used, these are AUX, NUL, PRN, CEN.

    There is a KB for this, it has applied to all versions of the product since inception. You can find the KB here

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/279868

    Its very tempting to use CEN for your CENtral, and PRN may match a region if you use those airport codes or location codes.
