wait really?  I always thought that it implied that if you own a mac, you deserve to die, so we got rid of the break in your car.  ahah

Well considering that is a brake pedal that wouldnt work.


And then again i hope that one pedal is just the accelerator because that would be very boring car.

its implying that you can never go "fast" in a mac because it only has "brakes" for "safety"

yep I do it sometimes when shit's running slow.

It just relaunches the finder no biggie.

nope actually, if you get a good mac modifying program which gets into the unix more, like mac pilot, you CAN force quit finder completely

it really doesnt change anything from relaunching it, its pretty useless but it can be done

Yeah, I force quit it all the time. It's not a big deal, you just open it again. You can end program explorer.exe in windows as well.

To be honest I forget what program I used, if any, to make it possible, but hitting command-Q while Finder is active will quit it for me. Doesn't launch again until I quit the icon.
Example:
