I always shut it down and turn it off but leave it plugged into the wall.
One evening i was just getting into the sack when it just randomly tuned itself on and booted up Windows.
Scared the shit out of me and my other half.
Did it on a couple of occasions then stopped.
Never did find out why.

They're heeeere. The poltergeists have you

Well, I've had several occasions when I happened to be in a different room than the one that holds the computer, during which some as of yet unexplanable and indiscribable sounds just popped out of my computer speakers (something like a llama during a mating ritual, I don't know). I'm not sure if there's such a thing as imagining sounds, but it certainly freaked me out at that point. ;)

That other room wouldn't happen to be the kitchen, would it ? I hear you're a lousy cook, so it might be a reaction of some components to the smell that's coming out of the kitchen. ;)

If my laptop were to turn on by itself and somehow play "that" image mentioned in the Britney Spears thread here on IW, I think I might literally have a heart attack, and be too afraid to get near a computer for the rest of my life. :D

*image still burned into his mind*

Gah, I'm not a lousy cook, it's the pitiful excuse for a kitchen that I have that's keeping me from actually cooking something more challenging than potatoes.
It's basically a side-board with only two electric heating units, an oven and a micro-wave on it, that's pretty much it. No sink, no decent worktop, hardly any space to do anything... No wonder I tend to get somewhat sloppy when it comes to cooking. Guess we'll have to wait to improved living conditions before we'll really figure out if my cooking is worth squat. ;)

I gotta ask the obvious -- just how do you know what a llama during a mating ritual sounds like in the first place? [img]tongue.gif[/img]
