Impolite programs

I send Scott and Spock down to engineering to physically cut the power.

I end its process.

The proces-tree, just to be sure.

I would think about the truth in the statement. A big upload or some media coding can take a while. If not: "Die you shitty crapware!!! I kill you now" :mad:

Kill its process and all its descendants. Purge the sacred land that is my CPU with the blood of the offender.

The Photo Studio Media Browsing service that came with my printer is very bad about this.

I look at the process manager, it it seems that it does nothing, I will kill it; if it seems to be doing something, I let it run some more.

I'd rather be phishing!

Sounds like the intro to a great movie, perhaps. :thumbsup:

Alas it won't ever beat "The world is changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air. Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it.".

Take off and reboot it from space - it's the only way to be sure.

[Chris Maunder]

You'd go Keyser Söze on it?

cheers Chris Maunder

I love it when you allow Windows update to close processes and restart computer and Windows update is frozen because it is waiting on Windows Update to close. Windows Update, you had me at...updating... X| X| X|

My book, Launch Your Android App, is available at Amazon.com.

I'd get medieval on its... Mule? Donkey? :D

My favorite example of this is Visual Studio, when it crashes while exiting. It will catch the crash, and restart itself :rolleyes: .

My only experience with this type of thing occurs when I'm drinking Red White & Blue. I suppose that's reason enough, you'd say to yourself; "guy's multitasking at the bar and his browser won't be graceful and the congeners are getting to his brain". But I have to say, WHEN this occurs NOW, I always think back to that time when it occured THEN. And if I had it to do all over again, I'd simply grab the nearest chud by the neck of his Tee and smash him one in the gob. Then see what happens.

Wait man, patiently wait. That jvm will eventually terminate.

I'm running Windows AI.  When I try to run a program I really didn't mean to run, Clippy says "It seems you really didn't mean to run <application name>, so I'm going to ignore your request."  I :love: AI. /ravi

Ok so you are talking about VS2015 - I sit there patiently waiting for the bloody thing to finish, mainly because if I corrupt my primary work tool by jumping on it I'm going to feel like a right idiot as I spend 3 hours reinstalling it.
