God I must be Mr Memory then, I nap all the time.* A wonderful thing is the Brain. It wakes up in the Morning, and doesn't go to sleep until you get to the office! *Well it has been known that I nap after a hard night out, I lock the door and doze for an hour! but shhh! don't tell! :-D

I have the opposite problem... I can't shut mine off.

I suppose I should...get a healthy amount of sleep first...Especially since sleep deprivation stunts growth, slows down puberty, causes depression, diminishes concentration and too many other things...:~

All right, then--even if that were absolutely true, then I should one day like to show by my work what such an eccentric, such a nobody, has in his heart."

I'm on it. :zzz:

I may be Green, but at least I'm environmentally friendly.

The sign of a geek, when I thought "naps" was short for "Napster". :rolleyes: Marc

I can well believe it. Whenever I put my laptop to sleep, it wakes up with more free memory than when I closed the lid. The queue to say "Ouch!" starts here --->

You need worker threads... aka computer task slave labor. hire and fire based on work-load and overhead. I patterned it after the migrant worker employment in the ag-sector. ;P Either that or just build one huge program to consume all other programs and call him the "Master Control Program" Don't forget to remind it to throw any TRON's into the direct path of a data stream and not toy with them in the game sector....

Same here. But I went one step further, and thought "naps" referred to "Napster", which is a German friend of mine, whom I often play against in Unreal Tournament. I'm not really sure what that's a sign of. :~
