Not a programming issue, but years ago while I ran the helpdesk for the Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisitions and Technology (OUSDAT) and I received a call from an Army LtCol. His complaint was that the Solitaire card bounce (Windows 3.11 for Workgroups) wasn't working. Sure enough, the cards would randomly teleport around the screen. After three weeks of troubleshooting I discovered that we needed to block the top 16 bytes of real mode memory in himem.sys.
Doesn't sound like much, but we had over 1,000 of these machines, all identical. So I instructed my staff that on any call, for any reason, they were to make this change. Inside a month the number of reported system crashes and mysterious BSODs dropped from several a week to nearly zero.

That's as good as the story a Russian coworker had.
In Russia he was working in a computer room with many machines. The high muckety-muck wanted to see the facility but every time he would come to inspect the machines would suddenly shut down. Imagine Soviet Russia and that happening every time the boss came to look in. They finally figured out what was happening. The muckety-muck was a larger man, overweight, and he would just stand in the doorway of the room. They finally figured out that the wiring for the power to the room ran under the doorway so when he stood there it caused a fault in the wiring.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

At yeast that comment is proof you can rise to any occasion. In fact, I'd say you're on a roll.

By replacing your morning coffee with green tea you can lose up to 87% of what little joy you still have left in your life?

Replace with black tea and lose only 86%.

I drink black tea in the afternoons. So, I lose 0% there, since I enjoy it.
1 cup of coffee has approx. 97 mg of caffeine.
1 cup of black tea has approx. 47mg of caffeine.
1 cup of green tea has approx. 28mg of caffeine.

look it up on Google if it means that much to you (I'm sure it doesn't). That is where I got the info.
I assume they mean the standard unit of measurement for a "cup".

Maybe you just need more caffeine.
