Powershell is frankly fairly amazing. Recently I found myself needing to open the Windows datastore.edb file, and before I discovered some interops I learned that in fact you can grab a C# member definition, then use it as a signature and load that type as a Powershell object [1]
Hell, I even found a C# code snippet and was able to add into a Powershell string, then add this as a C# type definition, and Powershell compiled it to an assembly and then loaded it as an instance of a Powershell object.[2]

"According to NASA, the 3 computers aboard the Hubble Space Telescope contain over 50,000 lines of code in the C and Assembly programming languages."

I am going to go out on a limb here and post my diagnostic: There is some global counter that overflow as the system was not rebooted for a while...NASA...take it from here :-)

I'd been waiting all day for this to happen to me. It took until 4:20 PM.
