This brings up my favorite example of the difference in philosophies between Windows and Mac.

Windows won’t do a goddamn thing without at least 3 steps and asking me if I’m sure I want to do that, except for shutting down or restarting.

Mac will do whatever I want with one step except for shutting down or restarting, where it politely asks if I’m sure.

Years ago, I color printed a bunch of $20 bills, but just the left half of the front of the bill, so when you picked it up off the floor and unfolded it, it was 3/4 blank paper.

I was doing maintenance on our domain controllers a few weekends ago and one of our DCs in Sao Paulo was still downloading the updates (basically a two-cans-and-string internet there) and the server warned me I was about to be signed out because of an auto reboot (for the same maintenance).

I'm like "hell no this thing will take another 5 hours to install these fucking updates!"

Opened a command prompt, shutdown -a saved the day.
