Great tnx Griffy, I've downloaded the cTachReverseulator dll v3.4.6. The code seems to be working but I get this exception: "Access denied while trying to shift global Datetime.Now, reason: Insufficient read/write permissions to specific time point." But I am an admin! :sigh: Do you know if there's a coming GA or a patch?

The question is not as stupid as it seems, since you can do it over LAN (assuming that the computer has a power connection and the PSU is capable of having a standby mode, which then still powers the ethernet card). This technology is not new and is called "Wake-on-LAN". It just requires an ethernet connection with APM or ACPI being available on the main board and the eth. card. What one could do is either programming some timer on a router (very popular choice) or building a custom solution, which then uses some other computer on the network or involves a micro-controller.

I hope by then they'll fix the problem with the Cherenkov radiation shock wave corrupting the memory structures close to the application core...

There is also a way to schedule power ON/OFF through BIOS settings. (under Power Management) It's been there for a very long time. :)

Some industrial PC's include hardware that let you shutdown the machine and then restart at a later time, either based on time-of-day or after an interval. They can also start based on I/O or network signals. That said, I somehow doubt the Q&A question was based on that.

What I find even more worrying is the number of questions that make it clear that the poster is being taught to do things the wrong way.

Yeah, I wouldn't use C# for that, I'd use Visual Basic. :-D

What do you care? The rest of us vote for people that when given the chance will prove us wrong, so we just go: "O, he's been taken down by corruption" and move on to vote for the next would be failure. Isn't democracy just a long unnoticed sleeping pill?

Probably not a discussion for the Lounge. I start to swear copiously when I think about most politicians... OT: Google wants to replace the "swear" with "sweat" under it's suggestion rules in the above. Thinking about it, it both are pretty accurate!

It may be a global phenomenan. However, it is very prevalent in my location where those not in the programming field try and enter it without any prior knowledge. If they read a few books before starting, they would be better off.

I'm pretty surprised by the replies to this post. Has everyone suddenly forgot about the BIOS/real time clock that can be programmed with a date and time to boot?
