Shouldn't it just block until the computer turns back on? Probably interferes with pthreads.

Where does the code run when the computer is off?

Edit: I see the downvotes, yet i still don't know if it's a joke. I was genuinely asking the question.

Hmm, it seems like you need to make sure the computer is on before calling this function, or else you run the risk of getting back undefined data. Seems like we also need a function that can be used to tell if the computer is on...

I like how it also has support for the ENIAC platform. I kicked my family out of the house so I had room to install the ENIAC. Happy to hear there's an OS I can run on it to get real work done, like posting unfunny jokes for strangers on Hacker News.

is_computer_on_fire() seems more usable...
