CHARGE!!!! SUPERFAIL!!! lol
No spywares founded!!!
God dammit, I love you Microsoft.
My husband works for MS and as an example of their ineptitude at times (I’m trying to be nice because they’re our bread-and-butter), his boss told him some coding they were working on absolutely could NOT be fixed and all they could do was damage control. Well, my husband fixed it. I’m noticing a pattern that has 98% to do with time and 2% to do with finding the right person to do the job. They don’t want to take the time to fix things and they don’t want to spend the time finding the right person to make it work. That’s why you see black screens in Times Square (I’m assuming that’s where this is).
And people wonder why Linux users are violently loyal.
GENTOO FTW!!!
why are linux users violently loyal? because no program running on linux can segfault? why blame microsoft for a wank application that happens to be running on their os?
now if the screen was flooded with a variety of malware, that would be a different story.
Technically its operator failure, not Microsoft failure. Thats what happens when you try to play Call of Duty on your billboard when no ones looking.
If i saw someone playing call of duty on a billboard, I would probably stop in the middle of the road or something to watch. Who cares if we cant see the news? Call of duty is far more interesting.
more accurately, microsoft has an archaic and cumbersome api built on many years of compatibility, while linux is open source, so anything that is not well understood (notice I do not say documented) either becomes well understood over time, or gets replaced with something easier to understand. So while it is probably true that whatever application, and not the OS, crashed in this case, it can be said that it’s easier to code for linux than for windows. And before you claim that linux is hard to code for, I’ve written little openGL programs in c on linux, and i am by no means a programmer. windows is cumbersome to code for, but developers tend to be scared of open source because they don’t believe it pays well. which is true, in a sense it doesn’t pay at all, but on the other hand, if you are really good, you will find someone willing to pay you. with windows, you just have to be competant, that’s all.
sorry for the rant, for the record, i am typing this on a windows machine, though i have 2 linux boxen running all the time
I like how you just mentioned programming devices that are platform independent, and said that it was easier to use one of them on a specific platform.
C (and programming languages in general) were meant to abstract away the hardware, so the same code could run on any platform.
openGL is the same sort of thing, but specific to graphics work.
I will give you that some OSs can be more forgiving of programmer fuckup though.
Personally I am a microsoft supporter, just because I hate mac snobs and I feel that MS has been getting a lot of unfair resentment. People want the impossible and then get mad when it doesn’t happen.
heh, now I’m gonna get ragged on for being supernerd.
NEEERRRRRDDDDD!!!!!!!!
We’ll see how well that goes over when your working for one.
Probably for starvation wages in the factory making the robots he designed.
i second that
I dual-booted my system with Ubuntu Ultimate Edition and I love it! The ONLY reason I still have Winblows is that I’m a gamer and I got some “legacy” (like Doom CE and Diablo 1) titles that won’t run on WINE. Other than that though I prefer to do EVERYTHING in Linux.
I’m sure Steve Jobs had nothing to so with it…
heh heh I love these kinda fails.
lol, when did this happen ?
Vista wins!
If you look closer, it’s the Spyware Fail.
I can run more on Linux than I can on Vista. Vista is a cancer for your rig.
Where’s the damn CTRL-ALT-DEL!
You have to do it at the giant keyboard at the toy store down the block.
hahah! win!
seems like a photoshop job to me.
And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for you kids and your dog….
Like, zoinks!
Fail
It definitely is. Looks at the edges of the warning box and compare them to the edges of the screen (especially the left edge. Plus the black screen background is way too pixelated.
I’ve seen this happen at photo printing Kiosks
THIRD
lol FAIL
please tell Failsoft about this problem.
Or their subsidiary Microfail (or should that be Macrofail?)
XD
The new Windows Fail model is doing its namesake.
“you too can be a foreigner”
rofl.
haha.. I didn’t even notice that first time around
Get a Mac
Macs are owned by microsot in the end and the only reason they dont get as many viruses (they DO get) is because few people spend the excessive amount of money that a mac costs.
People! get LINUX…. FREE - SECURE - FAST
Or you can just get whatever the hell OS you want…
Except Windows, of course.
“Macs are owned by microsot in the end”
Ignorance FAIL. Microsoft owns some non-voting shares of Apple as part of a deal because Apple used to be dependent on Microsoft apps, which they’ve now completely replaced: Office with iWork + Mail.app, Internet Explorer with Safari, Windows Media Player with the third-party Flip4Mac codecs.
“and the only reason they dont get as many viruses (they DO get) is because few people spend the excessive amount of money that a mac costs.”
Stupidity FAIL. There are no self-replicating viruses for Macs. Not one. People have written unwanted programs you can run manually, but that’s it. The platform is secure by design.
Most Macs, apart from the specialty Air and Mini, cost slightly less than a comparable PC, especially after a refresh. The only relationship between price and market share is that Macs don’t target the low-end junker market, so they don’t get high-volume injection into low-margin customer bases.
“People! get LINUX…. FREE - SECURE - FAST”
And a giant pain to set up and use in any graphical capacity. Yes, even Ubuntu, which uses GNOME, which at least has a HIG and some customization options, but is still modeled after the Windows 95 UI and the Windows XP paradigm of “never stop bugging the user about every little thing.” Until I got my Mac, Gentoo is the only OS I ever enjoyed using because I felt like I had some control over the machine and its configuration, but it wasn’t worth compiling all that crap and then recompiling when it threw unexpected errors.

firefox 3 fail.
the above reply is for another comment, which i was replying to earlier. Apperently firefox saw fit to send both at the same time, minus some information.
or maybe this is a failblog fail?
… or probably my fail :(.
I’ll go ahead and copypasta it where it belongs.
Mostly right,
but:
mac OS is based off of someone else’s design, so they can’t take credit for it’s security. they can take credit for the choice, but not the design.
also: an OS is going to show its weak points the more it is used. There are more windows machines out there getting misused and abused than macs, so problems show face more frequently.
MS has, in the past been very concerned about backwards compatibility for the reason that many large businesses run windows and would flip out if their apps couldn’t work after an update. apple (although still concerned with backwards compatibility) has given it a less important place in design. Things that could potentially have fixes in windows (such as prevent self replicating viruses, perhaps) are not implementable because it would break existing legitimate software.
and since everyone hates MS, people would not say “oh, they are making it more secure so it is the software developers job to adapt their application to the update” everyone would instead complain and say “ms is stupid, they update and now my apps don’t work”.
Lastly, you definitely can NOT get an equivalent mac for the price of a PC. where do you shop for PCs? bestbuy? ripmeoff.com? apple is getting a bit better… but historically you have had next to no hardware choices in your mac, so you cant even really compare them if you wanted to.
I run vista (I wanted to be able to use DX10 properly), and honestly, i dont see what the problem is with it. a bit of a large footprint, but all those annoying warnings are easy to disable. and it provides nice interfaces to control services and has lots of integrated features.
ah well, you seem to be a mac snob, so I’m sure I’ll hear some kind of angry response to this.
SHOTOPHOPPED
I agree. Looks triple fake imo
aaw poor avenue q, no porn for them!
Comment win
Speaking of Avenue Q, every other billboard in Seattle was advertising it when I visited there a month ago…
do you wish to send an error report?
if you press OK a pre written error report will be sent to failsoft
to do nothing press cancell
OK CANCELL
someone should cancell your llife.
Someone should CANCEL both your lives. Learn to spell.
Jackasses.
Bondo was being funny, hence his spelling of life as “llife”.
JUMP THE GUN SUCCEED!
rofl
Someone did cancell his life. This is what we got.
Microflop makes for macro-fail win.
…wait, was that like a double negative?
dammit i saw this yesterday but i didn’t my phone on me. fail.
Shouldn’t someone at CNN be paying attention to this?
what’s the error message?
It looks like a, “This program tried to do something wierd and was forced to shut down. You may choose to tell Cockrosoft about this problem. To send an error report, click here.” type of message.
If its avenue Q this is an older picture because Avenue Q is at least 2 or 3 years old. This picture might be fore Failavista.
A muppet musical? Wow, fail.
do you even know what avenue q is?
it’s right there in the picture. do you even know what eyes are?
Uh…I don’t think Muppets use the same…language that these puppets use.
