Isn't that the MSDN pre-filled key to VS 2012?

@Tsaukpaetra Maybe, I'm not a visualstudiologist.
Edit: also, if you need special purpose keys, just fucking use something like "0000-0000-0000...". I guess Microsoft is a bunch of morons.

For some reason that brought this old DevShed thread to mind. Scan down three or four posts for the punchline...
I liked that post so much that I put the link in the boilerplate reply I wrote for help vampires, which I used on both DevShed and DaniWeb. Here's the DW version:
First off, we don't do other people's homework for them. Second, we don't do other people's homework for them. And third, we don't do other people's homework for them. Sensing a pattern here yet?
No one here will simply hand you a solution on a silver platter. If you show us what you've done, what you've tried to do, and what problems you've had with it, then we'll be happy to help. If you have specific questions, we can answer them, or at least point you in the right direction. If you have a program with a bug you can't swat on your own, we'll be glad to assist, so long as you pay attention to the forum rules and post sensible questions in an intelligent manner that we have some reasonable hope of answering.
But just cutting and pasting an assignment into a message, without even prefacing it with something like, "I have this homework problem that I can't solve...", is likely to get you booted from the message boards here and elsewhere - if you're lucky. What happens to you if you are unlucky is... well... let's just say that this guy probably won't be trying that again, on that forum or this one.
We take this issue seriously here. Very seriously. Asking us to do homework for you is a grave breach of academic ethics on your part, and actually doing so would be an even bigger breach on ours (not that this stops the many fine mercenaries at Freelancer.com, but still). Simply posting this here, in this way, could get you expelled from your school, if someone happens to notice it and blow the whistle on you. Furthermore, it does neither you nor us any good to help you cheat - especially since there's a good chance some day one of us will have to work with you, manage you, or, Eris forefend, fix code you've written. We have an obligation to our profession and our own future sanity to help you become a good programmer, and doing your coursework for you isn't going to do that.
And if you think you won't get caught by your professor... think again.
And please don't insult our intelligence by claiming that it isn't a class assignment. It's very easy to spot one, and we have a lot of practice at it. Trust me on this.
Now, if you actually don't know how to create a program that fits the requirements... hmmmn. Reading the book is definitely called for. As is speaking to the professor; while some can be a--holes about office hours, most are more than willing to give extra help, if only to keep their class grades from slipping to the point where they get re-assigned to teach remedial basketweaving.

@coldandtired My money is on a name for a cheap Transformers bootleg toy line. Or the name of the next movie in the Transformers franchise, starring Marky Mark. Either sounds plausible.

Never mind colabrateren. My best guess is it has something to do with cola, but for the life of me I canāt figure out what activity the verb brateren would indicate you do with that beverage.

@Gurth said in Helpful MSDN comments:
colabrateren
All other Google results for this word indicate it has something to do with Flemish politics and a lama called Dalai ...
Now we have to wait so Google makes this thread the third result for colabrateren.

Iāve noticed that before too. Maybe this site is required reading at Google to steal code from the opening posts of threads?
@coldandtired said in Helpful MSDN comments:

Are you thinking of Bratwurst? Thatās German ā the Dutch word for it is braadworst (from the verb braden with a d, meaning āto cook in an open fireā).

That was my thought too, and it seems to be what the poster means by the word in the fourth Google hit for it in my screenshot above (āBourgeois en de Dalai Lamaā).
But whereās the fun in posting that? :)
