>how do I program my computer to feel pain whenever I turn it off?
Difficult question. If you're turning it off there's no electricity with which to power the processors that would register the pain. There is still power in the computer driving the clock, but nothing major.

You'd have to write code that made the computer THINK it experienced pain when it was turned off, meaning some degree of self-perceptual intensity of agony that's connected logarithmically to the amount of time that's passed.

Given the intensity of this sort of code, I'd suspect it would severely slow down the start up process of your computer though. I would only attempt such a code if I'd also added in some vocal code for the computer so it could lament it's plight in the voice of Goofy.

Pain is just a selfinflicted chemical for a warning system.
A negative you wish to avoid being given higher priority than the actual task is as close as it gets. Everything else is theatrics
