Was taking a shower, getting ready to head back to Toronto after Otakon. All my phones went off like it was WW3 or something. Marketing offices internet was down, and some idiot decided to try and fix it by rebooting the server. Long story short, 2 hours late getting started so didn't get in till nearly midnight.
rebooting the server isn't a good way to fix a problem i gather... or just this problem in particular? we always get told to reboot stuff... some of us suspect it isn't the best way to do things :P
Well .. desktop .. generally can't hurt. A server, if setup and used properly .. doesn't need it. Also it's hard to do a proper shutdown if you don't have the password to it. which they don't. So by reboot ... I mean .. pulling the power cord.

I guess, given their situation, they couldn't think of doing anything else, but man, that could really mess a whole lot of stuff up!
