AVclub said:OP I know how you feel. I asked my son to clean up the dining room table for me last night. I said, "Throw out all the crap on that table. I want it to be clean."
My son says, "Are you sure you want me to throw EVERYTHING out?" and I'm like "Yeah." So he does.
Turns out, he tossed some unpaid bills in the trash. My dining room table is a piece of shit!

i'm surprised he didn't just tie up the kitchen tablecloth and throw everything out, including the good china and salt and pepper shakers...AVclub said:OP I know how you feel.

That's what I'm thinking too. It SHOULD un-maximize the fullscreen window and bring the popup to the front, but sometimes for whatever reason that does not happen. The result is that after ten minutes plus whatever the countdown timer is the system reboots.Windu said:Sounds like you missed all of the dialog boxes because you were working in flash full screen.
It's kicking him in the balls for not saving for an hour. If you do ANY design work, you save frequently. Anything can happen, system failure, power outage, forced updates, but it's his fault for not saving. Not the OS's fault.CTLance said:That's what I'm thinking too.

(It can be very annoying with old software that doesn't take kindly to being yanked out of fullscreen mode, like games....)
It should not happen. But it does. I wish the people that harp on the OP would realize this. Yes, the thread title is stupid. Yes, he hit cancel. But on the other hand he wasn't aware the stupid box was in the middle of a shutdown/reboot cycle. So please ease up a bit on the OMG WIN7 BESTEST and kick him in the balls for not saving for so long. And maybe hitting cancel. Because when your program suddenly asks you whether you'd like to save, you should suspect something is amiss.

Or they could, y'know, just let it be until you actually restart yourself. Why is there a time limit anyway?
Its not only that, he clicked Cancel. Its not the OS fault :/captive said:OP doesn't follow adage of save and save often, blames operating system. News at 11.
Sorry but i disagree.Wraith said:No. Does no one understand good software design? The popup should be where the system stops. Until it gets a signal from you it should not force a restart whether or not it thinks it can. The lack of feedback should force it to wait longer, not automatically trigger a restart. If Win7 restarts at any time without any user input whatsoever, that is bad design.
Because he wasn't saving more often, maybe.Verano said:so we can all agree that the OP is a dumbass right?
Did you read what I said above? He's probably done well to click Cancel there, otherwise the app could have been killed in the middle of saving, his file corrupted and whole work lost. I've seen how aggressive this auto restart procedure is, it's almost funny how you can't do anything to stop it once it starts.Zefah said:Hilarious thread! You are creating something on a computer and you hadn't saved in an hour or more? Furthermore you hit cancel when prompted to save or not and you are pissed at the OS for being the cause of said prompt?
Please show me where that EVER happens with windows 7.goomba said:THIS.
Can we also agree that OS, after its many revisions and years of development, shouldn't be destroying our work through the design decision implemented in it?
Oooooh, the age-old discussion. GNOME versus KDE. "Linux" in and of itself does not have a specific order, by the way. :->Fersis said:Wait till you use Linux ,Cancel and OK message boxes have their order inverted from Windows.
EGM92 said:Little known fact about Win7, IT WILL NOT RESTART YOUR COMPUTER WITHOUT USER CONFIRMATION. A window WILL popup on the right hand corner and ask you to restart or postpone and give you the option of when to ask you again ie: 10min, 1hr, 4hrs. Windows again WILL NOT restart just for the hell of it. If you're using a beta/RC version of Win7 where this function wasn't full implemented it's still your own damn fault for using either version as primary OS.
Yeah, it sure can be confusing what GNOME apps are asking of you.Fersis said:Wait till you use Linux ,Cancel and OK message boxes have their order inverted from Windows.
KDE sucks. I gave it another chance with its latest release, but it's still a crashy mess.CTLance said:Oooooh, the age-old discussion. GNOME versus KDE. "Linux" in and of itself does not have a specific order, by the way. :->
