yes, i think your average person would think "winter weather foot protection and heating" if you said "warm boot"

Most people are WRONG. It's a warm boot. WARM BOOT!

Dammit, am I in the only industry where the dumber the people are, the more secure my job is, but the dumber they are, the more I don't want to have this job?

Oh, wait. Nurses. Heh. They have me beat. At least my dumb people don't die if I refuse them care.

No, because then they become an idiot under the care of a nurse.

Then they weren't idiots I had to deal with in the first place. Win/Win I think.

::gets out his overclocked taser::

When I was in elementary school we were taught that if you had to restart your computer you turned it off, counted to ten, then turned it back on. Is that a lukewarm boot?

I have to cold boot my computer sometimes. When it goes insane and freezes because I'm trying to do too much stuff on it and I can't even get the shut down dialogue to come up. And pressing ctrl-alt-del does NOTHING!

I also really need to clean my computer. that doesn't really have much to do with anything but if any of you hardcore computer people saw the state of my keyboard you might die.

Good advice even for today. But that is a COLD boot. Cold boot = shut off power. Warm boot = do not shut off power.

Tip your keyboard upsidedown, shake it, and eat what ever comes out - Keyboard buffet.

even the finger nail clippings?

It doesn't come out. The word is "grody" and by that I mean it has formed a nice crust that is probably fusing with the plastic itself.

Fast food service industry.

Ugh - being a computer support intern for a science group over the summer exposed my to that. Being the intern, I got to clean the grode out of the keyboard of the scientists who were sacked.

However, provided it's the old style of keyboard and not a new one with anything fancy like a chip in it (I think - you may need to search this to check) you can put it in the dishwasher, and let it dry out afterwards before plugging it back in. But don't take my word on it - I don't remember exactly what kinds can handle this.

Take the keyboard out completely, it's a 2 minute job at most. Easy to clean then.

Oops. Thong Wread?

I was wondering where the heck that post went to. I was all like "Hmm, maybe I didn't post it."

Gah.
