It's even worse if you keep using your computer for several more hours and having a window pop up every few minutes saying "Do you wanna restart NOW?" and having to continually tell it "I WILL RESTART ON MY OWN LATER!"

That is very annoying, you would think that telling it once you will restart late ron your own would be enough.

People taking other people's statements on the internet and making those statements seem like they have some risque innuendo to them. Or making statements with risque innuendo.
But that is nothing compared to not being able to park in the handicapped parking spots. Seriously. Why do we still have these? Do you think disabled people like being seperated from everyone and being treated different? Of course not. That's why I see people with disabilities park in other spots. They don't want to be treated different. If the disabled aren't even going to use those spots. then why can't I? It just GRINDS MY GEARS SO MUCH. Then, when I try to park there, (to show that I don't judge people by their disabilities and that we are all equal) I get a ticket. Then when I start asserting my rights, they throw me in jail. I AM JUST SO ANGRY RIGHT NOW!
By the way, the guards are telling me that this counts as my one phone call and time is up so could someone phone my lawyer and let my parents know where I am?
Hey, quit grabbing! I'm almost done typing. OW. My lawyer is so going to hear about that. Give me back the keyboard! I ak n;a asd ano a9-f dcm ;O; o DIOvdewipwe9p234 9e3r Q QARG tHIS ISN'T FAIR I TELLS YA ;R;P A IJNCAV EWRI OWWWW V A; IUAV I FVA SON OF A OARIE 0P[FV' '[RIA GR0[9G

I don't see how right-wingers can't see that making abortions illegal would do nothing but ensure that babies would be killed in alleyways (with coathangers, or by leaving them in dumpsters), instead of in doctor's offices. But then, I guess you can't see much of anything when you have your head up your ass.

Wasn't I just shutting down the computer and wouldn't that already "end" all the programs?
That's What Really Grinds My Gears!!
start->run (or Windows key + R)
shutdown -f -t 00
That command literally is Shutdown -f(Force Quit) -t(Time 0 seconds or now). Macs have a similar command for logging off and shutting down but off the top of my head I can't remember it.
Also if you put a -r in their it tells it to restart. If you are on the command line shutdown /? (or help shutdown) will give you more options or you can look it up in help.
For *nix (that includes you OSXers) the man command, as you probably know, is your friend and I'm sure there is an equivalent command.
Post by: Plugabugz on April 02, 2007, 02:52:26 AM
It exits all the programs and gets to the "windows is shutting down" phase. Then stops there. Never to proceed.

I missed the season opener for 30 Rock and I always miss Heroes (because I'd rather watch House) and both shows come on NBC. I have Comcast that has On Demand and both of those shows are listed.
NBC wants me to pay $0.99 to watch the On Demand version of all their damn TV shows!!
How am I supposed to catch up or get interested in their shows (assuming I want to watch it on the TV) if I have to pay for what essentially airs for FREE on TV? They wonder why so many of their shows get bad rating.... it's bad karma.
Post by: Stogi on October 16, 2009, 03:05:13 PM
May I suggest Ninjavideo.net as an alternative resource? They usually have a flash version of the show a day later than it airs.

Why is it that after I burn a new disc in my computer and it automatically ejects the disc when it's done that I have to physically go back to the computer and push the button/drive to make the disc go back in?
I mean there is a button I can click in Windows Explorer that says eject and it will open the drive. If I push that physical button on the drive i twill open the drive, but if I push that same button again, it will also close the drive. So why can't I click on the "eject" button on my computer screen and have it close the drive too?
Why do I have to get up and walk over to my computer to close the drive when I didn't have to get and walk over to open it??
That Really Grinds My Gears!

on the other hand that option is buggy and doesnt even work, a dialog pops up asking what program do i want to open ? with
