Think out of the box

Category: PersonalBil@l @ 11:35


I choose to help a friend ....... but for sure I was thinking inside the box!!!


You are driving down the road in your car on a wild,
stormy night, when you pass by a bus stop and you see three people
waiting for the bus:

 
1. An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.
 
2. An old friend who once saved your life.

3. The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.

 
Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing that
there could only be one passenger in your car? Think before you continue reading.

 
This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of a job
application. You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus you should save her first. Or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and this would be the perfect chance to pay him back. However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again.

 
YOU WON 'T
BELIEVE THIS...................

 
 
The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble coming up with his answer. He simply answered: 'I would give the car keys to my   old friend and let him take the lady to the hospital. I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the partner of my dreams.'

 
Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought   limitations.
 
Never forget to 'Think Outside of the Box.'

Error. Setup is unable to find load htmllite.dll

Category:Bil@l @ 14:26

I got the error "error. setup is unable to find load htmllite.dll" while installing the Visual Studio 2010 Beta 1.

All what you need to resolve this, is copy the "htmllite.dll" file from the contents of the VS 2010 CD into the Windows folder.

 

Hope this helps,
Regards
