Reboot or restart?

I find this funny for two reasons.

  • It spoofs the “choice” that many error messages present to us. It amounts to: “The program failed. OK?” It’s not OK, but your only choice is to “agree” with the message.
  • It spoofs the developer jargon that we read in error messages: a reboot versus a system restart.
