    That´s really bad..

  3. Peter says:

    You guys suck at leaving meaningful comments.
    And I’d like to know why they had an ATM running an unactivated copy of windows, nevermind windows at all.

    • Paul says:

      Most ATMs run on winblows.

      • flip says:

        The ATM’s in Germany are running on OS/2. It’s like 423498 years old and still better than Windows…!

        • AA says:

          Since theres Cyrilic on it, its in Russia or any other country, that uses cyrilic alphabet. Please, dont skip your geography lessons, you only proove that americans know nothing about the rest of the world. :-)

          • flip says:

            Yeah well except, that I just pointed out, that not every ATM is running on Windows regardless if it’s from Russia, Timbuktu or the States.
            Since I am from Germany I can tell what OS they’re running on.. duh!

          • FAIL says:

            Reading Comprehension Fail!

            “its” = Improper Word Usage Fail!

            “dont” = Apostrophe Fail!

            “proove” = Spelling Fail!

            “americans” = Capitalization Fail!

            Also, the smiley is inappropriate.

          • cjk says:

            It proves that Russians steal Windows more often.

          • Blarg says:

            Why should we have to learn about the rest of the world when we’re already in the best place in the world? Everyone else learns English, because they need to to be able to keep up with us.

            Egocentrism WIN.

            • Anonymous says:

              Hmm yeah English the language from England. Perhaps maybe England is the best place in the world. Cause you know, everyone has to learn the language from there.

              • Moe HamHead says:

                Hmm yeah, except more people emigrate from England to the US than the other way around. So, jingoism aside, people have voted with their feet. And they’ve chosen USA.
                .
                .
                Liberty WIN.

                • Kittens Hate USA says:

                  Uhm…. USA is more like the opposite of freedom… Open your eyes.

                  • Liana says:

                    Unless you are a christian white male…then you are pretty free to do whatever you want.

                    • USA! USA! says:

                      Good thing I fit that description. Oh, and can you remind me who was in the Democratic primary to be nominated for president?

                  • anny moose says:

                    Congratulations on being so ignorant, Kittens! If you want to experience the “opposite” of freedom, just spend some time in Cuba, and try speaking out against the government. Then you’ll truly learn what the “opposite” of freedom is.

                    • TRON says:

                      Well, truthfully speaking, here’s how it works.

                      The theory:
                      Constitutionally, the government in Cuba is elected by the people, therefore, since people elect the government they do not have the right to complain about it.

                      Here’s what really happens:
                      Constitutionally speaking, the only allowable party in Cuba is the Communist Party. This party selects whoever runs for government offices and places those people in the ballot. The party chooses though whoever is convenient to their interest (kinda of like Democrats and Republicans work on the US, but on a monopartidistic way). The people then vote for two people that represent the interests of the Communist Party and thus they go into office. Needless to mention that it is the Communist Party who runs the Electoral Colleges over there, thus they can afford to make any counting mistakes they want without others knowing or complaining. And given that the Cuban Constitution says you elect the government (as in vote for the representatives), it is implied you don’t get to complain about their actions. So, you are screwed.

                      Sources:
                      Myself, US Citizen & immigrant.

                    • Ray C. says:

                      Being freer that Cuba isn’t exactly something to aspire to. Why can’t we be freer than the Netherlands?

                • durr says:

                  unless your family is first nations, in which case english wouldn’t be
                  your native language, your family immigrated too.
                  and by immigrated i mean small pox anyone?

          • Begemot says:

            Hey, now! I lived in Russia for a little while. I know Cyrillic.

            That was probably one of the FAIL ATMs I used.

            In English, it says “VTB.”

            http://www.vtb24.ru/

        • timbolator says:

          The Fujitsu- Siemens machines i installed ran on windows while
          the old Siemens- Nixdorf ran OS/2. AFAIR a pretty old IBM monster ran OS/2 too.
          An interesting time of my life that was. Taught me a bit about ATM and safes and the like!
          Some of the old machines we uninstalled contained several ounces of
          pulverized money, ground by the note transport system.
          Origin: precious, value: zero.

        • Homer says:

          So why not use one of the major commercial operating systems developed in Germany? Oh wait….

        • annooonyyym says:

          Most ATMs in Germany are made by german company – wincor nixdorf and believe me, theyre all runnin Windows.

    • Mourner says:

      don’t all ATM’s run on windows?

      i know all the dutch ones do….

      i frequently see them reboot after an error….

      Gotta love computers…..

      • bdjnk says:

        I highly doubt it and seriously hope not.

        However, there is no reason for a Windows machine to ever crash or reboot if you are only running a single stable application.

    • Chris says:

      Get over yourself Peter. Every comment here is a meaningless comment. This is a blog with humorous pictures on it, not a forum for groundbreaking ideas on how to solve the world’s problems.

      • "Peter" says:

        No! We are here to solve every problem in the world right here and now! In fact, I Al Gore, I mean, Peter, just heard about someone littering, and I must now go address that on the comment page on a blog about cats wearing sweaters!

  4. Peter says:

    also, why the fuck did you use an accent as a quotation mark? seriously? It takes so much more work to make a ´ than it does to just press the friggin ‘ key.
    And don’t get me started on people that use the backtick (`) as apostrophes…

  5. DeVir says:

    I think this photo was taken in Georgia or Armenia.
    Major fail, love it…

  6. dolt says:

    im leaving a comment coz im bored i dont think its very funny

  7. thematrixexpert says:

    rofl XD
    I reckon it has to with terminal services, so what we see on ATMs are thin clients?!
    8D

  8. Inversion says:

    Fail at caring about meaningful comments :D :P:D:P:D:P

  9. Mukaltin says:

    Mother Russia! yarr!

  10. Cakelover says:

    When I put my credit card in a ATM once to withdraw some cash, the ATM said in a Windows error box “Out of System Resources”.
    I lol’ed.

  11. jj1910 says:

    WTB (or ВТБ in Russian) is the biggest state owned bank in Russia.

  12. Anonymous says:

    das ist ein Test

  13. Anonymous says:

    Even though I enjoy this blog greatly, why does Failblog put it’s name at the bottom of pictures that don’t belong to it. Isn’t that a copyright fail?

    • Anonymous says:

      Yeah, and a pretty bad copyright fail at that, but maybe one out of a thousand people is going to push a copyright claim, and a little mea culpa usually fixes that.

      NoScript or AdBlock+ will prevent you from seeing all of the ads which are the reason for seeing this site’s watermarks all over other people’s pictures.

  14. Vladimir says:

    This bank is fully in shit!

  15. artslover says:

    the bank of fail..

  16. exizt says:

    Whooo, Russia again!

  17. zenotek says:

    Windows Genuine Advantage Fail

  18. F3nNec says:

    l0l fukin russia!! ATM WIN!!1

  19. Anonymous says:

    That’s what happens when they just won’t use Linux.

  20. Sean says:

    what does first even mean

  21. Christine says:

    russian cost cutting at its best

  22. Bubba says:

    “In Russia, ATM’s withdraw money from you!”

    \Can’t belive nobody has said it yet.

  23. durr says:

    “we’re sorry but bill gates has decided he wants this money too. please move along”

  24. soviet russia says:

    we fail you

  25. chicpea says:

    windows fail. mac ftw.

    • raelalt says:

      I dunno if it is a MAC win. If it were, Steve Jobs would be there selling smaller and smaller versions of the same ATM. (but at least they would work).

    • Pr0grammer says:

      Lol. Macs fail even worse than that sometimes, and you can’t fix it by clicking a button.

      (By fail, I mean “epic hardware failure that renders the computer completely inoperable, and then another such failure with the same computer, and then another such failure.. With the same computer”. Such as the fails I experienced last year.)

    • Lupus says:

      Lol. Windows? Security? I’m scared. “Srsly”.

  26. Scarlett Smithinson says:

    /Palm Face
    should’ve uzd Linux

    • Bill G says:

      Yup, linux, barely a 20% market share in industrial servers, and just passed Windows 98 with a 1.2% market share on PCs. Go tell me how both ATMs on linux are working.

      • Anonymous says:

        “linux, barely a 20% market share in industrial servers,” u are wrong!
        Linux has more then 80% on servers!

      • John Snith says:

        Dude, far more servers run Linux or BSD. Google uses Linux. Windows is for n00bs who can’t run a real OS.

  27. Sathien says:

    Happened to me once. Oh crappy day…

  28. l0lz0rd says:

    ftpd.exe error is also quite common.

  29. Dakker says:

    I wonder if it runs minesweeper.

  30. mvzm says:

    Epic fail.

  31. Inno says:

    Man, even the ATM’s run pirated software in Russia.

  32. elfboi says:

    Why don’t they just use Linux, or BSD, or Solaris or something like that?

  33. ji says:

    Why the fuck is windows running on an ATM?

  34. k says:

    oh the joys of Russia.

  35. FrozenOne says:

    Did you ever try to buy original genuine legal software in Russia? –> EPIC FAIL!

  36. Captain Wow says:

    Feed Me A Stray Cat.

  37. Vetrina says:

    That ATM is a loser lol

  38. sonic says:

    window$ fail, not atm

  39. Dark says:

    Hey Mr Happy, what’s wrong? Did momma drop you on your head as a child, or were you an asshole anyway?

  40. Dark says:

    I agree, he is a tool.

  41. qtee-grrl says:

    lick my lickey lick lick!

  42. Y says:

    Because you’re a wanker?
