Don't make light of serious stuff. This thread will lose its direction and veer off-course. Worst-case, the computer will crash---your mileage may vary.

These winding treads go interesting places sometimes though. Granted, you might have to find the narrow lane where people aren't just raging aimlessly in order to ford the noisy parts efficiently, but they're not a complete third wheel on the site. I've certainly gotten useful directions from them at least.

If Microsoft made cars...
3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull over to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.

This is, in fact, the behavior of many older MBTA busses in Boston. Just sayin'.

Ha.
I actually had this very problem with a Ford rental car. It had "Microsoft Sync" for its infotaiment system and it suddenly started to output very loud white noise over the audio system while I was on a freeway. And it wasn't responding to volume controls.
However, simply stopping the car and turning it off didn't help. I had to go online, find the location of fusebox, and pull the fuse to hard-reset the infotaiment system.

Did you try turning the car off while it wasn't stopped? The GP's instructions stated that you had to "pull over to the side of the road". There's no mention that the car should be at rest. I'm sure it's a common oversight.

I liked "Xen and the art of hypervisor maintenance" - it still challenges me to program using the abstraction less travelled.
