[crazythunder]

lol. i've never seen this one before.

[pacmania_2001]

Probably chopped.

[thecoalman]

Least it wasn't an illegal operation... I'm sure that is still giving old people heart attacks thinking the FBI is going to show up at there door.

[crazythunder]

i just thought it was funny. i've seen plenty of error messages and bsod, but never this one. it was a swf converted to mpeg. played fine in cineplayer though.

[BJ_M]

this is worse or better than a FATAL error ?

[ViRaL1]

Good question. In general a catastrophe is probably worse than 1 fatal occurence, but that probably doesn't matter to the one sustaining the fatal injury.

[Grimey]

fatal might be worse.....fatal usually means death, but catastrophic could just be really, really bad, but not quite fatal.

[Faustus]

fatal might be worse.....fatal usually means death, but catastrophic could just be really, really bad, but not quite fatal.

ah but when alot of OTHER People die its called catastrophic.

[offline]

yes but when they die of death its FATAL.

How about Fatal Catastrophic Failure: Windows ME

[BJ_M]

die of death?

[thecoalman]

yes but when they die of death its FATAL.

How about Fatal Catastrophic Failure: Windows ME

I'd bet a Fatal Catastrophic Illegal Operation Failure would be the worse.

die of death?

Why not? People catch their death of cold, don't they?

Nothing beats the MacOS error code of -69: "Your machine has been caught in a compromising position."

What about those clone Apple II's that gave
out IDIOT ERROR instead of syntax error.

[Faustus]

yes but when they die of death its FATAL.

Are you sure your hidden settings are correctly?

[pyrate83]

lol. i've never seen this one before.

Are you sure your hidden settings are correctly?

Did you make that north or just find it on the web? Either way it's very funny...but true

[Faustus]

Friend of mine found those settings once. Said he knew how to get to them. He woke up the next day in an ally with a strange scar on his head and a strange love of Compaqs.

[northcat_8]

I found it.

Actually I think it was posted on here before...well...it had to have been, I haven't surfed outside of VH.com since.... um....it's been a WHILE

[crazythunder]

wish error messages looked more like this.

[Doramius]

Quick, push buttons and see if the blue screen goes away.

This is an error I got once.

Pushing might cause the error to appear more rigid in which only rubbing can help.
