It also happens when you're duping LOTS of objects at the same time. For example, building a large pyramid (Which for some reason
doesn't always line up right) and using the same wall to build all four sides.

Hehe :) An OC-256 line is buried outside my house, one of the goodies that starts on east coast of US, makes mad speed for Europe.
I've been tempted to jack it once or twice, after all, who will notice that I have a twenty four inch fiber optic line plugged into
my PC?

Errrrrrrrm. jfk, give me your damn computer now. Unplugging a cable modem should *not* cause a reset, cuz the only cables running
into it are it's own INDEPENDENT power, a network cable, and a coax TV cable. Unplugging any of these would simply terminate the
connection to the internet, not your computer's power. This is true for ANY external PC component. In fact, removing cards from a
computer while it's powered on won't damage it, just reset it. Of course, I don't recommend any of you be as dumb as me and try it.
But this is the ONLY unplug that I can think of that would reboot a computer. Also, stop complaining about having so much running.
Either LIVE WITH IT or DON'T RUN IT.

Curling up with that special someone and watching some crapassed FOX special (World's scariest police videos XXXV for example) is
always nice for quiet time. That is, until someone gets shot. If I want to be ALONE, kick on some shoes and drag myself out into the
wheat/corn/ragweed field next to my house and go lay out in the middle of a clear spot and watch the chemtrail planes or watch a
storm on the horizon (sometimes attempt lightning photographs) or stare up at the stars.
And what's wrong with the bathroom besides the fact that it smells like... Well... Shit in there?
