Did that, you lied.

And it makes no sense to be doing a full reboot every day anyway.

If you do want to turn the system off every day, you should hibernate, not shut down.

Doesnt make the HUGE DIFFERENCE you lied about previously.

Even with the worst file placement, the most that does is add
a couple of milliseconds to the head movement between files
and that is nothing in the total boot time of a curent MS OS.

Service packs dont come out at anything like that frequency and

At most by a few mS. Thats nothing in app start time, liar.

Nope, the mS or so saved is nothing in the time it takes to load that file.

Then you are a terminal ****wit when hibernating saves a hell
of a lot more time on the startup than 'optimising' can ever do.

Yep, even you should be able to see that there is no mention of optimising

Everyone can see for themselves what is in the first two quote now at the top of this post.

Dont need to. Even someone as stupid as you should be able to
work out that the extra time for the longer seek with a poorly placed
file can never be more than a few mS with modern hard drives.

Just another of your lies.

They can indeed, and proof that you are a pathological liar.

Not that that is any news to anyone at all.

Still **** all with each file.

Hibernating saves FAR more time.

Corse you are so stupid you dont hibernate.

Everything when you arent stupid enough to shut down the app.

Hey, Rod, do you think "Joep" knows what ever happened to his
fellow denizen of the Netherlands...the foulest of fanatics,
Folkert Rienstra? Dat ol' Folksy ain't been around here, at
all, throughout 2009.

In fact, according to Google Groups </http://groups.google.com>,
the dreadful Dutchman's final Usenet post was on September 19,
2008; no longer does he plague >any< newsgroup, evidently.

Oh, and for your information, I'm hardly wailing about his
sudden disappearance. (Good riddance to bad rubbish, as the
saying goes.)

He's the one that killed him off, because ****nert
made snide remarks about his commercial activity.

Yeah, the GFC saw the plug pulled on net access to his padded cell.

Heard the one about silver linings ?

> Oh, and for your information, I'm hardly wailing about his sudden disappearance.


I know you grovel in front of your ****nert shrine, daily.
