    You do the Alt+SysRq+ R-E-I-S-U-B combination on a university Ubuntu computer to restart it and the person who got it stuck goes "wow, how did you do that?"

    That or use Ctrl+Alt+F2 and restart LightDM to fix the problem via the terminal.
    Backups are amazing. 99% of data loss can be prevented by spending less than $100 on an external drive.

    There are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth...not going all the way, and not starting.

    you feel compelled to post to a thread called "You know you're a geek when........." with advice about being vegan and eating only organic and voting for GMO labeling, even though you know it falls on mostly deaf ears, lol.
