Why does computer log out when it not inactive
This has been bugging me since Tiger. I like it when my computer logs out when I and it are doing nothing. But I don't like it when it logs out when I am rendering a movie, watching a DVD or listening to iTunes. It would seem the log out function would be smart enough to know while I am not doing anything but watching or listening or the computer doing tasks. If the computer is doing something it should not log out. Is this rocket science? Yes I know I can stop the log out process in preferences, but that is a pain in the butt. Is OS X really that dumb it can not tell when I am running a program and not log out, or am I missing something?
