In fact, that's why it's often considered a "joke" response. There are exceptions (see allquixotic's answer), but most questions for which a restart is the solution are probably not a good fit for the site. See Dmitry's answer. They tend to be not reproducible, or too broad in terms of possible underlying problems. If people don't check basic stuff like that before asking here, we'd have thousands of questions all with the same answer, and people wasting time trying to diagnose hiccups. | |
