Show them some nice pictures of kittens. Or some pr0n.

Turning off your computer is always a good time to give the hamsters food and water, lets them rest, so in the morning your computer will be nice and fast. If it takes parents computer 15 minutes, his hamster need less weight

... something like monitoring system usage and bringing additional boxes up when usage hits something like 80%?
And then suspending boxes when usage drops down to 10%?
All in all, trying to maintain a level 50% utilization level? Maybe with the utilization level setting being an option that the sysadmin could change?
I'd recommend you patent that idea.
You must be using a different version of XP than I am... When I 'Hibernate' my laptop, it attempts to dump the RAM to a file, throws a hissy fit like a coddled freshman after their first exam, fails miserably, flickers the screen, disables the Hibernate option, and then just sits around until the battery drains.

We're sorry for the inconvenience, but our systems seem to have been shut down. We've asked leroy, rufus, and heraldo to hit the power button, and we assure you that, once they've found that button, they will push it, and then, once the mandatory scandisk operation has completed, the Windows server screen will appear, and once the kernel operations have completed, the services you have requested will be available.
And that will be awesome!
While you're waiting, here are some links to our competitors' sites. Remember to open them in a new tab, so you can occasionally come back and hit "refresh". We promise, we're almost ready to serve you.

Hell, the way things are going, soon hiring a cadre of hookers to rub on you for heat will be less expensive than oil.
Right. And I'm the same as Albert Einstein because I have DNA, amino acids, and funny hair. Where's my Nobel Prize?
A Pinto is the same as a Mercedes because it's made of steel, has 4 wheels, and an engine. I want $75,000 for my used Ford.
My wife is the same as Elle McPherson because she has hair, tits, and a vagina. My wife should be the supermodel (no, really, honey, I was serious on that last one. No, wait...WAIT!...")
