I left the room for 10 minutes and when I returned, there was a little window with a countdown on it. I thought it was some sort of evil virus* or something but then I realized it was just Windows wanting to restart my computer without my permission (not clicking "no" for 5 minutes doesn't count as permission). Is this fair? Is there any justification to this, moral or otherwise?

*well some people think Windows is an evil virus.

Well seems that force is the only thing that gets many Windows user to perform security updates.....


For what it's worth, there is a trick to turn it off.

google “NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers” for more information.

When you're a Jet
you're a team on the ground
Someone says third and three
you think, running down

When you're a Jet
you stay low to the ground
only pass when you see
there's no safety around

The Jets are on the move
made another first down
The Jets are on the move
here comes the trap play

Here come the Jets
like a steam rollin' mound
Someone gets in our way
Someone's gettin' run down

Here come the Jets
Let them pass all they want
we'll grind 'em to dust
and we won't have to punt

When the Jets go all the WAY.

Watching Vikings @ Saints right now. Got me wondering...

What is the correct pronunciation of Brett Favre's surname? I've heard the US network commentators call him (sounds like) "FAARV" whereas the English commentator prefers to call him (sounds) "FAAVR"

[Al_U_Card]

The original French pronunciation would have been Fah ve r-r-ruh (rolled "R" with the v slurred into the rolled "R")

He certainly must have a "usual" familial pronunciation that is unlikely to be the above.

If you listen to the Fox Sports guy, he almost certainly pronounces the R before the V

I don't like how sleep appears to come as a sine function, when I want to get some it suddenly goes away. It's just really dumb.

I suppose windows is smart enough not to reboot if there is a program that wants to ask you whether you want to save something.

Actually I would not bet on that.

I found that solution after I lost an hour of work, when my computer rebooted while I was on the phone....

It is now. It was not always so.

Test: open Notepad, type some text in the (untitled) window. Tell Windows to restart. First I get a dialog box from notepad asking if I want to save the file. about half a second later, windows tells me it can't end notepad because notepad is waiting for a user response. Tell it to "end now" and the computer restarts. Click "cancel" and go back to the Notepad dialog. Tell Notepad "no", you don't want to save it, and you're left at the Notepad window. Quit Notepad, it asks again if you want to save it. Tell it 'no' and you end up on the desktop. Windows has forgotten that you told it to restart. Silly Windows.

I don't understand why the Belgian women ever retired when they apparently still are able to play at the very highest levels.
