Making the rounds are images of the blatant Windows error on a Sony PSP billboard on Houston Street in Manhattan.

In fact it seems it was that way for a while.

Long enough for many different people to get a shot of the error, from many different angles, and to share them on the web.

Of course this sort of thing happens in the UK too.

And it's not just a Windows problem.

it's good to know that while not yet self-aware technology does have a sense of humor

OH MY GOD!!!

RUN!!!


TERMINATORS!!!



oh wait...this PROGRAM will be terminated.

never mind.

I'll go four the for bottles of bubbly............ :drunk:

Ugh , that ain't the only place it happens ,

oh crap! is that what i have to look forward to in a year?!?!? thanks zip, now i'm reconsidering my career change!

damn, that would freak me out, be flyin' along and oh shit.

REALLY didnt need to see that at the moment zip.. :~o

Relax...it's a trainer. That never happens in real planes. :fingerx:

I think she's going for it...sell her the ticket quickly.

I was going to point out that the new signs at Penn station are running Linux, and I see them down about 2x/week - Me thinks they have some problems in their system (the signs at platform level are 486dx4s BTW

I have to admit, I kind of freak out back about 10 years ago when I came up to the ATM where I worked and it was hung on the BIOS setup screen for a 386 computer. I never found out what OS it was.

Most were (and as far as I can tell when I see them re-boot) are running some version of OS/2. Believe it or not, one of the guys I know from another mailing list wrote the code that ran something like 70-80 percent of all ATMs at one time (don't know if that is still true) - he retired on the royalties

:mg: :mg: :mg: :mg:

Um, that sh*t ain't funny. Ok, is funny, but scary.

If that did happen on a "real plane", I wonder if they would scramble to
a, Fix the computer, or
b, Fly the damn plane
Hmmmm.....

Heh, gives new meaning to the term, "plane crash"...
