One of my favorite jokes:

A Helicopter Tour of Seattle ran into trouble one day as incredibly thick fog made it impossible for the pilots to see anything. Eventually, the pilots had to slow to a crawl, to avoid flying in to anything. Finally the helicopter arrived at a large office building. People in the building rushed to the windows to see a helicopter hovering outside in the fog.

Then one of the pilots got an idea: on a piece of paper, in big letters, he wrote: "Where are we?"

Some people in the building rushed to a desk, scribbled something down, then ran back to the window - holding up a big sign. "You are in a Helicopter!" read the sign.

The pilot gave the office-workers a nice smile and a big 'thumbs up' and turned the helicopter a few degrees to the left and began to fly into the fog.

Within 20 minutes the helicopter arrived safely back at the airport without any mis-hap. Stunned, one of the passengers asked: "How in the world were you able to figure out how to get back to the airport from that idiotic response?"

"Oh, that was simple," said the pilot. "The answer was technically correct, but totally useless - which meant we were at the Microsoft Campus. Once I had that figured out, it was just a question of flying back to base... "

In that spirit, I was looking for some validation that a dedicated SQL Server box should have its "Memory Usage" option set to System cache instead of Programs.

Googling for specifics on this one actually turned out a bit harder than I would have anticipated. (Seriously, details on what each option does to the underlying system would be great to have...)

Then I found this gem - I've included a screen cap of it in all of its glory just so you won't have to follow the link:

Tell me that's not awesome documentation. Though I think they forgot to tell you how to click on the OK button...  (And don't worry - I checked the links from this page - nothing explained what the POINT of changing these would be.... )
