When you say something in front of someone that has
offended them or should not have gotten back to them and you are now
frozen and wish you could
ctrl alt del yourself and start all over again without any record.
Example:
I think that
Gina girl's hairstyle is awful. Hey, that's
not nice, Gina is my cousin. Sorry, Ctrl Alt Del!

1. A combination of keys used before a login screen is presented on Windows NT/2000/XP. This is used because it is the only combination that cannot be sent over a network. It is also used to bring up the
task manager and, when pressed twice will reset the computer. For this reason it is sometimes called the 'Three-Finger-Salute'.
2. A comic strip written by
Tim Buckley relating to computer and
console gaming. It can be found at cad-comic.com
Example:
1. d00d! j00 wa5 pwning at CS and
j00r b0x0r cr@5h3d! j00 had to use Ctrl-Alt-Del!
2. Did you see the latest Ctrl-Alt-Del
comic strip? It was just up a couple of hours ago.

1. A combination of keys used in most Windows operating system to open the task manager, most notably used for closing programs which are for some reason difficult otherwise. Has other features that no one ever uses though.
2. A gaming webcomic created by
Tim Buckley often with associated other webcomics such as
8-Bit Theater, Penny Arcade, and
VG Cats. However, many consider it to be inferior to the forementioned webcomics due to the fact that it often steals jokes and ideas from them. It is also considered to be a lot more commercialistic than the others. Overall, it isn't too bad though.
Example:
1. After attempting to run
Windows Media Player, Battlefield 2, Doom 3, and
Norton Antivirus all at the same time, my computer 'asploded and I had to use Ctrl+Alt+Del to to put it out of its mysery.
2. All hail Ethan, king of
Winter-een-mas!

A heavily over-rated webcomic. It used to be quite funny, but it lost it, it is now plagued by
long winded story
arcs, overexplained jokes and overly repetetive Copy-Pasted art. The comic however still seems the most popular on the web, most probably due to the relentless fanboys who
foam at the mouth when you have the slightest critisizm for the damn comic. The forums are run by those fanboys so you can expect the results.

Often referred to as the Three Fingered Salute used on all windows systems. Originally designed for developers as a kind of
Easter Egg to reboot the machine quickly whenever it
hung up during development.
Quoted from the original designer:
Somewhat of a cultural icon.. (And even a
web comic)
Made famous by Bill Gates' crappy software.

A shitty comic filled with pointless
vidya game references and way too much dialogue. Most of the art is copy-pasted from previous strips. It would be a lot funnier if the writer/artist didn't explain
the goddamn PUNCHLINE on the fourth panel.
