» 248 Failures in Communication

  1. Bernie says:

    A comment that should never be made, has been made.

  2. SomeIrk says:

    That’s windows for you. Perhaps you will now invest in Linux.. Oh wait. Linux is free… er uh I mean.. Linux is open-source. Learn it, live it, love it! For the rest of you, enjoy your lol-errors

  3. capt. awesome says:

    Ah, but why did it fail? I say it’s because Anubis dressing up like a fox while listening to Led Zeppelin, possibly Achilles’ Last Stand. That’s the answer to the question.

  4. anonymous says:

    old time posters guess my name

  5. Simon says:

    hahahaha, its so honest as well xD

  6. LB says:

    I think this is a win – they thought through EVERY possibility, including the fact that something that should never fail might possibly fail at some point, and produced a message for it (rather than letting it fail with an obscure “Windows Generated an Error at 0×2930291 Read Address 293209 etc”).

    So I say this is a software design WIN!!

  7. Blanka says:

    I thought I would never say this, but potoshopped?!

    • emygirl says:

      You are kidding me. You’re saying that Po the toe went shopping? It’s crazy!

    • one and one and one is three says:

      what is a poto, and where does one shop for such a thing?

    • LB says:

      Honestly? Probably not. I do this sometimes when I’m writing software – I know something can’t ever fail (because it would break all laws of god and man if it did) but, just in case they add a new law when I’m not paying attention, I put an error check in just in case :)

  8. Lachlan says:

    *farts loudly*

  9. James says:

    Can something that’s edited, really be a fail? :/

  10. Lee says:

    Ah, I’ve written errors like this before. This is an error which will only occur if there’s a problem with the code and not the data. Hence, the code just needs fixing and then the error will never appear again!

  11. besn says:

    unfailable fail =)

  12. Ofek Navarsky says:

    Get a Mac :P

  13. Bob says:

    one of the best fails evar!

  14. ICDK says:

    EPIC!

    FAIL!

    MICROSOFT!

    All synonyms for this travesty of common sense.

  15. simbr says:

    Seen this error once before, but that was on XP in a command prompt.

  16. zyklonb says:

    if dis is shooped = fail ahead else WINA ALERT!!! continue wif da epicness.

  17. pc says:

    If the system call was never gonna fail, then why did they make the error message at all? That’s like writing “Sorry for crashing in your house” on the Hubble telescope.

    • matt says:

      But it does fail.

      • pc says:

        Yeah, but if they actually were confident it wouldn’t crash, they wouldn’t made the error message at all. Just like there’s no sticker on the Hubble telescope – they’re actually pretty sure it won’t fall down and hit someones house.

        On the other hand, maybe Microsoft expect certain system calls to fail while others “shouldn’t”.

  18. matt says:

    Error: You are using Windows which will inevitably screw up in a matter of minutes. Please switch to a sensible operating system.

  19. Bram van der Heijde says:

    Now presenting, after Windows XP and Vista:

    Windows XD!

    Macintosh FTW!

  20. Doragon Shinzui says:

    That’s definitely windows…

  21. Divided by zero says:

    Wait, it’s not supposed to fail?8O It all makes sense now!

  22. anonymous says:

    that’s windoze for ya

  23. x-bert says:

    Ok, I’m a bit late here.. but I’ve got to add this…
    I’m a computer programmer… I have done this myself, and I know others who have done similar things… for instance…
    A programmer’s boss/superior/project manager was warned about a specific error that could occur – they told the programmer “Oh, that will never happen”…
    So, the programmer added error handling for it with the message “Boss’s Name said that this error would never happen”

  24. Dexaan says:

    Now, if everyone blames Microsoft when things go wrong with their computer, who does Microsoft blame?

  25. Avlee says:

    Shouldn’t such a paradox cause Windows to explode?

  26. TeEf says:

    I’d like to know how this error happened. If it was via normal use on working hardware it’s a definite fail, but anyone can run an operating system with a dodgy processor – or just fail at trying to hack the OS – and get all kinds of funky error messages. “You don’t exist, Go Away” is my GNU/Linux favourite.

  27. fehl says:

    WSASYSCALLFAILURE (10107)

    System call failure.

    A system call that should never fail has failed. This is a generic error code, returned under various conditions.

    Returned when a system call that should never fail does fail. For example, if a call to WaitForMultipleEvents fails or one of the registry functions fails trying to manipulate the protocol/namespace catalogs.

    Returned when a provider does not return SUCCESS and does not provide an extended error code. Can indicate a service provider implementation error.

  28. Cellie says:

    WIN!!!

  29. R!B says:

    I’ve actually had this happen while trying to download a file from source forge with Interfail Explorer. After that I switched to firefox (H)

  30. WootMaster says:

    lmfao epic fail on an mini scale!!! IF you guys want, I’ll make a better fail using windows xp xD.

  31. Mandi says:

    This topic is boring.

    This usually works on WoW.

    CHUCK NORRIS!

    • WootMaster says:

      LOL Chuck Norris probably made Windows so fked up by punching his comp with his chin, which spread all over the Internet

  32. d30n says:

    microsoft = fail
    except for xbox 360 thats pretty cuuuu

  33. jp192 says:

    Windows Vistafailurenism

  34. compwhiz212 says:

    I thought at first this was a photoshopped error… but then I searched the error code, and it actually exists. Fail on Microsoft’s part for actually creating such a retarded error message.

  35. scully546 says:

    Fail fail? Or Fail win?

  36. bugs_1987 says:

    Sounds like something Windows Vista would say, lawl

  37. huntzman says:

    duuude this is real the same thing happened to me!

  38. AdUki says:

    programmers have sense of humor too…

  39. wat the hell!! says:

    obviously fake but still funny

  40. Lord De Vis says:

    dont u just love windows?

  41. Racecar 56 says:

    Now wait for Windows 7…

  42. gh says:

    PHOTOSHOP!

  43. OmegaForce says:

    It’s fake. Someone made that up.

  44. gwgwgwg says:

    hahahah

  45. Dig Bick says:
