However, by 1888 non-digital photography was well established.Don't worry. You are just off by one. 18th century is the one ending by year 1800 (starting by 1701). In 18th century they didn't have any photography.

Finally, he discovers that someone else in our office plugged one of these in to his computer: http://www.cru-inc.com/products/wiebetech/mouse_jiggler/
I still prefer the Newton cradle solution.

You are absolutely correct (even getting the starting and ending years right; most people are @OffByOne). However, @Monarch was actually talking about the 19th century:
A newspaper near Arles, whee the incident occurred, recorded it thus on Dec. 30, 1888:
Last Sunday night ... Vincent van Gogh ...
Thus my reference to 1888, and van Gogh did indeed live in the 19th century, from 1853 to 1890.I must, however, admit to not noticing @Monarch's error, else I would certainly have pendantically corrected it.

In this case, it would not be a part of Rule 34, so perhaps that is why? I mean, that would be a pretty fucking specific fetish if it were...
That conflicts with Rule 35:No exceptions.

Obviously shutdown scripts are Old and therefore No Good Any More, and obviously MS would prefer that nobody ever gets a chance to see a black window with inscrutable text scrolling up it on any product ever. That is because MS, like the rest of this shitty industry, has an incurable case of the Everything Is A Phone brain worms.
This predates the Everything Is A Phone mentality by at least ten years.

WSUS, SCCM, Altiris, scheduled tasks, centralized script that uses wake-on-lan.

WSUS, SCCM, Altiris
I netadmin a school with 6 virtual servers and 120 workstations; not really interested in going Full Enterprise.
scheduled tasks
I have one that shuts down any machines still powered up at 6pm.
centralized script that uses wake-on-lan
Can't really see the benefit in adding more potential failure modes.

@HardwareGeek it is ok to be wrong don't feel bad about it, here this guy is responsible for this error.
I used him as a reference to what time van gue existed.http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00119253.1966.10545547?journalCode=vzde20#.VGT3-_nF8ms

And that was published in what appears to be a scholarly journal. So much for their peer-review process.
