    Rhetorical Question


    Here's something I've experienced across the OSes...

    On a progress bar, why does it always take the longest amount of time on 100% before completing?

    (currently running sfc /scannow and I got bored)

    Because it's the last step so will be finalising whatever it's doing, I think.

    Problems with a limited vocabulary - I was trying to convey "this isn't a serious question".

    No worries Redmage, just making fun...

    Frivolous, Feckless, Bootless, Pointless , Meaningless, Banter, Badinage, A Posteriori, Babbling and Rhetorical.

    But remember, fine words butter no parsnips!

    I got way too much time on my hands
