Why does adding an environment variable
to your .profile, .login, or .cshrc not affect
your environment unless you source the
file?

Why must you -SIGHUP a daemon after
changing its configuration file?

Why does adding a virthost to your
httpd.conf not take effect until you
restart the daemon?

The system has to be informed *somehow*
that you've changed something....

Let's face it, it's much better than
"you have to restart your computer
for changes to take effect.  Do you
wish to shut down your computer now?"
