Microsoft offers support services for RTFM
Nah, it doesn't really, but then it's quite funny

Free whitepaper – SPECjbb2005 performance and power consumption on Dell, HP, and IBM blade servers
Microsoft Product Support Services. HOWTO: Read the Fucking Manual.
The information in this article applies to:
- General Lamers
Prerequisites:
- The ability to Read
- Basic Brain Function
It's a spoofed URL of course, purportedly heading to www.microsoft.com but ending up at www.hwnd.net - see the little "@" sign? However, that doesn't detract from the fact that it's funny and that we've been bombarded with emails asking us to put it up for wider enjoyment.
And so, here (http://www.microsoft.com&item=q209354@www.hwnd.net/pub/mskb/Q209354.asp) it is. References at the bottom include: HOWTO: Apply for employment with McDonalds, HOWTO: Add a #, + or .Net to your old software to keep it cutting edge and HOWTO: Read. There are also other gems on the Hwnd site (we like the OS poll on the opening page).
It's Friday so we suggest you check it out and have a chuckle. ®
