I’ve run into this problem more times than I’d like to admit:
C:\>del foo.txt
The process cannot access the file because
it is being used by another process.
Umm, right, thanks. So should I just start killing processes indiscriminately? Perhaps now would be a good time for my daily sacrifice to the reboot gods?
Turns out there is a better way. I am not sure how I got this far without discovering handle.exe from SysInternals Microsoft:
C:\>handle foo.txt
Handle v3.2 (64-bit)
Copyright (C) 1997-2006 Mark Russinovich
Sysinternals - www.sysinternals.com
evil.exe pid: 6044 68: C:\foo.txt
Now I know exactly which process to kill with extreme prejudice.

It worked.
I bought AAPL before earnings and, wow was that a colossally dumb move. Ouch, I just lost a MacBook Air.

Delta’s in-flight entertainment system runs Linux. Notice Tux below?
I was lucky enough to witness a couple of reboots on a flight from Atlanta. The boot spew also indicates that they use an AMD Geode processor.
Just witnessed the following hilarious exchange at work:
Anton: Why don’t you like dogs?
Wendy: Well, I just don’t. Do you like brussels sprouts?
Anton: Yes.
Wendy: OK, well, do you like turnips?
Anton: Yes, if they are cooked right.
Wendy. Well I might like dogs, if they were cooked right.
