March 7, 200916 yr So my desktop is acting up. Sometimes it won't even boot up, but now, when it does, it takes a LONG time. And task manager says the CPU usage is at about 85-95% when it's just sitting there, and 100% when I have anything running. This just happened today. What could be causing this? Spyware? Virus? I'm about to run a boot scan to see if I can catch anything. We'll see. "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." - Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials "I have also been slowly coming to the realisation that knowledge and happiness are not necessarily coincident, and quite often mutually exclusive" - meta

If it happens again I'll be sure to check. "Of course the people don't want war.
