A bit of Friday humor at Microsoft's expense.

Public BSOD ... PING!

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".

A windows haiku:

The blue screen of death
Microsoft has crashed again
No one hears your screams

My digital signs have done that a few times. One even was a road sign heading onto the property. That’s why I keep lots of spares handy.

I think this is some ultra-hip way of saying you're supposed to look for examples of public displays of the "Blue Screen of Death" (BSOD) that make the owners of the display look like idiots (I assume that's what the "bork" reference is). It's getting to a point where language is being used to obfuscate more than to illuminate. Even on FR I can't keep up with the ridiculous "initials" that are supposed to represent whole thoughts.

LOL. TEOTWAWKI. ESAD. SHTF. BLOAT. And the list goes on. The latest one to pierce the netosphere is GOAT -- Greatest Of All Time.

GMAB. Give Me A Break.

$100 says they’re running Windows 7 or earlier.

The most annoying writing style I have ever seen...

[wastedyears]

My current build hasn’t had a BSOD yet, and God willing it never will until I decide to upgrade in a few years.

I wasted five minutes of my precious life try to fathom this unfathomable article, the post and most of the comments.

Please...anybody, nobody..... don't reply to MY post, LOL.

The early development version of Windows 95 was called Chicago... nice

Link to the ORIGINAL Computer Haikus. They’re still funny as hell.

IMAGINE IF INSTEAD OF CRYPTIC TEXT STRINGS, YOUR COMPUTER PRODUCED ERROR MESSAGES IN HAIKU…

A file that big?
It might be very useful.
But now it is gone.

Yesterday it worked
Today it is not working
Windows is like that

Stay the patient course
Of little worth is your ire
The network is down

Three things are certain:
Death, taxes, and lost data.
Guess which has occurred.

You step in the stream,
but the water has moved on.
This page is not here.

Out of memory.
We wish to hold the whole sky,
But we never will.

Having been erased,
The document you’re seeking
Must now be retyped.

Rather than a beep
Or a rude error message,
These words: “File not found.”

Serious error.
All shortcuts have disappeared.
Screen. Mind. Both are blank.

The Web site you seek
cannot be located but
endless others exist

Chaos reigns within.
Reflect, repent, and reboot.
Order shall return.

ABORTED effort:
Close all that you have.
You ask way too much.

First snow, then silence.
This thousand dollar screen dies
so beautifully.

With searching comes loss
and the presence of absence:
“My Novel” not found.

The Tao that is seen
Is not the true Tao, until
You bring fresh toner.

Windows NT crashed.
I am the Blue Screen of Death.
No one hears your screams.

A crash reduces
your expensive computer
to a simple stone.

Error messages
cannot completely convey.
We now know shared loss.
