You know when people post stuff on facebook saying they are all sad and stuff and then i go in ask "Whats up?" then decides to nuke it like it never happen. Yea that sounds healthy enough.

A few years ago, a mother and father decided they needed a break, so they wanted to head out for a night on the town. They called their most trusted babysitter. When the babysitter arrived, the two children were already fast asleep in bed. So the babysitter just got to sit around and make sure everything was okay with the children. Later that night, the babysitter got bored and went to watch TV, but she couldn’t watch it downstairs because they did not have cable downstairs (the parents didn’t want children watching too much garbage).

So, she called them and asked them if she could watch cable in the parent’s room. Of course, the parents said it was okay, but the babysitter had one final request… she asked if she could cover up the David Bowie statue outside the bedroom window with a blanket or cloth, at the very least close the blinds, because it made her nervous. The phone line was silent for a moment, and the father who was talking to the babysitter at the time said, “Take the children and get out of the house… we will call the police. We do not have a David Bowie statue.”

All of a sudden an electric guitar cut through the air. “KEEP YOUR ‘LECTRIC EYES ON ME BABE!” howled a voice from outside. The babysitter dropped the phone and ran to the window. “David Fucking Bowie!” she screamed, watching the statue as it came to life, shredding chords on its electric guitar. “Put your ray gun to my heeeeeead!” The babysitter ran the children outside where they watched an impromptu Bowie concert that was so awesome that afterwards the children had sweet dreams forever more and the babysitter was given a bonus for her efforts.

that sounds like a memory leak from one of the services, run process explorer to find out.

I tried, but pressing the + didn't expand it into anything. I just killed it, and Aero (the transparent window bars for Win 7) got killed. It returned a minute later, though, without that memory leak :/
Then again, it's rising again... I thought it was OpenCL, but apparently not? :S

thats the first time i heard of Aero having a memory leak, does it still happen if you switch to a non-aero theme?

Normally Aero is about 20 MB in size, but it was abnormally bloated like a tumor just that one time. Weird. >_< I was just messing around with the boilerplate for a OpenCL simulation at the time in Visual Studio 2010, not anything else D: I didn't have a single enqueueWriteBuffer(), even.

This is late, but when the David Bowie story was posted I was probably discovering David Bowie.
