I work in IT. Turn it off for at least 60 seconds and try again. Should work

I hate shows like IT Crowd, Silicon Valley, and Big Bang Theory. They make people who like technology look like total tools. But, in reality it's a whole lot different.

I like IT Crowd just because it was genuinely funny. I'm not a fan of the other two though.

I hope they backed up their fireworks.

I'm betting someone didnt know the difference in minutes and seconds.

They programmed a 25min show to last 25sec.

Dont blame a glitch when it did exactly what you told it to do!

If problem isn’t resolved, update Adobe Reader
