What happens if you start a file copy to/from a server in Finder and
then put the machine to sleep? I hope it either warns the user or
completes the copy before sleeping.
If the user performs the "normal" sleep sequence for a laptop:
- closes the lid
- removes the network cable, power cable, etc.
- places the laptop into a laptop bag
I defy you to find a means of either
a) warning the user
b) completing the copy
that does not violate other user preferences (speech off, sound off,
no bluetooth, inbuilt taser disabled, etc.)
An earlier poster cited Raskin's policy of "forgiveness", but made the
common mistake of assuming that being forgiving means doing what a
singular individual (in this case, the poster) wants, rather than
picking a policy that does the least harm in a wide range of situations.
