    Hmmm

    If all we do is follow instructions and all a computer program does is follow instructions, how could we possibly KILL an application [or end task/process for you windows freaks]? It is just inhumane.

    Like stepping on a beetle.

    That's life I guess.....

    You are created.....you do what you were put on earth to do (maybe create a few more processes on the way).....then someone calls ExitProcess() on you......

    I prefer to think of it as putting the application out of its misery.

    Hey what about frying ants with a magnifying glass, wouldn't that be inhumane? I think so..

    ...had to save some ants on Friday from getting fried by my friends Ants are cool.
    This is my signature. Remind me to change it.

    there's nothing worse than admiring yourself in the mirror and then seeing the floor crawling with ants.

    I'd never tread on spiders but that doesn't mean I like them. I befreiended one when I was about 6 but that all changed when he landed on my head. They seem less intimidating when up on the wall.

    A huge one landed on my lap the other week when I was quietly typing away... my panicked reaction pparently gave the impression of a herd of elephants on the rampage from downstairs. :: shudders ::

    Creepy crawlies.. not good.

    exactly... but bugs aren't human, so it's pretty much inhumane
