FYI: The dominant "Windows API" of WMI is WQL which is kind of SQL, so it's not really that surprising

    Didn't know that. I'm mostly on Linux these days. Probably spending less than 50 hours per year fiddling with Windows ;-)

    perl -e 'use Crypt::Digest::SHA256 qw[sha256_hex]; print substr(sha256_hex("the Answer To Life, The Universe And Everything"), 6, 2), "\n";'
      understandable ... I only started using it 20 years ago ;-)

      (no worries this was just FYI - I have fullest sympathies for wanting to ignore windows =)
