Blue screen of death....... what is it?.

I only crash linux when I screw up a kernel mod but that is my choice.

To follow Tims obligatory smug Linux user comment, I feel that I should add the obligatory smug Mac user comment....

I've banished by BSOD by buying a Mac.

I never thought that I'd say this, but I prefer it to Linux.

As a smug Windows XP Pro SP2 user, I'd point out that I have had only 2 windows crashes in 3 years and neither of those have resulted in BSOD. Been about 5 years since I've seen one!

Ive never had a prob!

Until i tried to install SP2 and forgot to turn off my firewall

That was messy for all involved :(

I take it you've never seen the Mac's Grey Screen of Death then? :lol: At least with a BSOD you get a cryptic message to keep you entertained, the Mac only goes "sorry for the inconvenience blahblahblah, turn this thing off and throw it out the window" thingy! :lol:

Ahhhh...you guys...


You've never witnessed the RedSOD in a Lotus Notes client have you?

It's truly legendary. A total restart of your machine is required. awesome!

The only time mine's ever BSOD'd was when I was sabotaging it myself with my overclocking tools. But I may have set records at the time :)
