why are people so averse to reboots these days? it used to be a daily thing that everyone just did, and now all we're asking is once per week (because guess what? 8/10 it fixes your problem), and people still lose their minds. it takes all of 30 seconds, and your browser restores your 10,000 tabs automatically, so what are you crying about?! is it really that disruptive to reboot first thing Monday morning while you fix a drink or take a shit? or (god forbid) shut your machine down when you leave work on friday, or on sunday if you take it home? OMG but then you would have to log in again and because you avoid ever having to face the absolute torture of typing your password at all costs you've probably forgotten what it is again boohoo :'(
but seriously, what's the deal? I've asked a number of people what the problem is, why they fight it so much, how we might make it less painful for them or how we might help them establish good rebooting habits, and the answer is always something like "I just don't want to". Well you know what? I don't feel like fixing your problem. How's that sound, ass? FFS It takes less time to reboot a computer than it used to take to establish a dialup connection. I don't want to brush my teeth or cut my toenails, but I do it because it's good hygiene.
