Actually

What you said, [link\|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=11576\|...when Jo comes in, finds the PC booted into Linux, decides she wants to read her email (she has it all set up on the Windows side of things) and hits "reset".] -- How the fuck can you tolerate that?!? (From a putatively adult and reasonably intelligent person, I take it -- or are you dating a retard?) That's just no way to behave with a computer! What should also have been fuckin' obvious is that I meant, not necessarily literally slapping her around, but give her a fucking strong talking-to: "That's just no way to behave with a computer!" Just show her how to shut it down -- you usually run Linux with a GUI on, don't you? So it isn't even all that different from how you do it in Windows -- in an orderly fashion. And then you can tell her, "This is how to behave with a computer!" Christian R. Conrad The Man Who Knows Fucking Everything

Post #11,877 by pwhysall 10/5/01 1:39:43 AM Reply	Hrm. I would be happier if that didn't just kill the X server and drop you back to the GDM chooser... Some kind of "You are about to kill this session and lose all unsaved work, type in the user's password or the root password" box would be useful. The day some serious HCI work gets done on GNOME (and there already has been one serious usability study, conducted by Sun) the better. KDE hasn't even had that - they're "thinking about it", apparently. Peter Shill For Hire [link\|http://www.kuro5hin.org\|There is no K5 Cabal]
