Not surprised. If his machine is anything like mine at work, a reboot can take 30 minutes including starting up all the apps I typically have running all the time (VS 2008, Outlook, Excel, Firefox, etc), longer if windows is applying updates.
ditto. i'd click that "postpone" box day after day, just to avoid the 20 minute reboot.

I never had to worry about IT Nazis or net Nazis. We don't have internet on any of the production computers. :rolleyes:

Yikes! That's what I'd call an unemployable uber geek. :)

Perhaps but all the worst "genius" programmers have a huge streak of practicality missing in them that leads to taking the roundabout route and missing the trees for the forest.

The production systems for my project are far more locked down than my dev box, or even the those of an office drone without local admin privileges. :doh:

Of course the production systems here don't provide me with admin privileges either. :)

I think I'm offended, maybe not.

I was chatting to one of my friends who is a very good programmer and here is how it went:- Him: I have a Vista reboot prompt today that won't respect the postpone for 4 hours command It reappears every 2 minutes Amazingly annoying Finally had to write a small prog with a timer that would close the dialog Me: Why didn't you reboot? Him: rebooting is a hassle Now that's whom I will call a real programmer:). So have you every solved a problem programmatically instead of the direct old fashioned way?
Mans a fool, close down your apps and reboot, do it now. I could not concieve of have that bloody irritating little popup happen more than once and why would you bother dealing with it any other way than reboot. I hate to say it but there is a reason for the little bugger YOU NEED TO REBOOT so do it.

Bloody hell, I thought mine was bad at around 8-10 minutes. Even with that I would reboot anyway, pay the price and get a cold boot opportunity in as well.
