I’m doing some Microsoft stuff at work, and in order to keep my sanity I’ll post the occasional inanity that I discover, at least if they’re humorous. I guess the requirement of one AD server for every 3 web servers is more sad than humorous, so that doesn’t count. But hey, check out this great error message!

A request has been received to deliver files over the internet. Because we had to launch this super-fancy ActiveX control to manage your huge download, clearly it is something big and important. So can you verify that you requested a file called “anyfile” with an extension of “ext?” Kay, thanks.
