I can understand rebooting stuff by switch them off for a bit and then on again. But what's with this unplug it for a minute lark, I currently have this filed under bollocks unless any of our more technical folk know or can explain differently.

They store energy to keep a circuit running as it should. Even with power off they could still hold some charge which is why they need unplugging as they could still be working part of the inside of the device.

That principle should be applied to some posters on here who get hot and bothered when people challenge their posts. Log off. Cool down. Come back when you've "discharged".

See the driver hooks a function by patching the system call table, so it's not safe to unload it unless another thread's about to jump in there and do its stuff, and you don't want to end up in the middle of invalid memory.

Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them along with this slice of humble pie, that comes direct from the oven of shame, set at gas mark 'egg on your face'.
