Recursive fail?
re-curses! failed again and again!
The only way to break an infinite loop is to divide by zero and hope string theory holds true.
*crosses fingers and crosses streams*
Nooooooo. You’ll break the universe!
But it’s been so long since BFF got to hit the Universe Implosion Button.

I wouldn’t do that! Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.
Important safety tip — THIRD!!
(now who you gonna re-call?)
…I don’t remember.
Out of memory (OOM) is an undesired state of computer operation where no additional memory can be allocated for use by programs or the operating system. Such a system will be unable to load any additional programs and since many programs may load additional data into memory during execution, these will cease to function correctly.
Not to be confused with Fuzz Out of Memory (FOOM!)
Don’t forget that when the universe implodes, it is instantly renewed with an even weirder universe…
No one can be told what the matrix is.
But, 42.

Oh yes, uh… now what was I asking?
FAKE
No, no. I’ve seen them, and they are definitely real.

There is no spoon.
Fake? 42!
Yes, that makes sense!
Be the spoon!
But if there is no shutdown, how can you be the shutdown?
*head assplodes*
I think the more important question is, if shut down is running than who shuts down the shut down?
*shuts down*
*dittos*
*thrittos*
There is no spoon. There is only Zuul!
Wait. Wut?
really :S
but its well easy to fake just re name an application “shut down” run it then shut down
That Hello Kitty in the Shayde is a nimble little minx, in’t she?
Well I’M not going to toast her!
It cant be faked. it uses the HARD CODED application name, not the file name.

I get so mad when I lose my unsaved work in the shutdown program. I should save more often.
What would Jesus do?
What would Brian Boitano do?
What would chuck norris do?
What would a goalie do?
They would all beat up the computer.
what would goatse do?
he can shutdown the shutdown.
In fact, that is probably exactly what happened: pilot error by telling the computer to shut down a second time while the first attempt was still working on it (stuck on some other unresponsive program). People get impatient with everything, and computers/hardware of any kind (e.g. tape or CD drives) do not respond well to impatience.
what would tony montana do?
Division by cucumber error.

(Just because I don’t like being told what to do.)

I laugh maniacally anyway.
Maniacally is a great word….
“Menacingly” is better…

So if you shut down the shut down program, then windows can not shut down?
But what happens if you can’t shut down the shut down program because windows is shutting down?
Use the force.
That’s your answer to everything.
… that and bacon luke.
You’d have to reboot the reboot application
*load letter error*
When you force the shut down of the shut down program, in anticipation of shutting down your computer, it may leave you shot down. This shuts down the production of serotonin and replaces it with dopamine, which makes you feel better. So even though you’re shot down in the shut down of your shut down program, you don’t shut down your emotions despite the failure to shut down.

I’ve never failed to think that I might never cease being the type of person who would not do those things I never thought I would never do. I guess when you don’t think about it, you stop being the type of person you’d never think you would become.

A beautiful dream. A calming dream. You’re back on the beach in Hawaii, and there’s not a computer in sight.

Ms. B is not responding. Should we report the error to Microsoft?
*Ctrl Alt Del*
Aren’t you worried she’ll come back as a butterfly if you do that?
Trust me, it happens.

By downloading Windows, the chances for errors and bugs are big.
*Whew* Glad I didn’t download Windows then! I just installed from the disk I purchased and everything works great. Dodged a bullet there!
Yo dude, we heard you wanted to shut down, so here’s a shut down for your shut down so you can shut down while you shut down! Or something.
At this point I think I would be scared to hit the “Shut Down Now” button at the bottom.
Maybe this is what happened to Andreotti.
HAHAHA!
I’d pull the power cable, probably the only way to break the loop.
That won’t work with a laptop…
You could plug it in, and then unplug it! (though on second thought…)
Then take the battery out.
Ya. That too. And maybe flush it down the toilet.
I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

Not generally, no. I find that if I don’t “keep an even strain” (as my Dad used to say), it borks the family. Everyone else can be hormotional or have a tantrum but me…
Just don’t get hormocidal.

Oh shyt!!!
he just took a document and named it shut down.

Good poit. If this were Windows, it would be complaining that “shutdown.exe” was not responding

FAKE FAIL!!!!!!!!
FLAKE FLAIL!!!!!!!!
When will it end???
Oh the humanity!
Are you trying to say that somehow it isn’t still a fail if a document is preventing your machine from shutting down?
Sorry timmay, this is a fail no matter how you look at it.
LIES!!!
FLIES!!
Well done, Grasshopper.
I prefer my grasshoppers medium rare.
no it’s a safety measure for protection of documents. that’s it why is says if you use force shut downs, programs will close whether or not you saved your work.
Actually, no he didn’t. I have win 7 and have seen this screen. I won’t go into all the boring stuff about running processes and all, but yeah this is legit.
Oh silly Windows!
Sorry everyone… I’m a PC, and this was my idea.
I’m a PC and I wish MacOS was my idea…
lol i got the exact same error a few days ago. I also got one from my anti virus telling me that the update it bugged me to get for a program or my computer would die a horrible death could somehow be used to infiltrate my computer and cause a horrible death.
computers are wonderful aren’t they.

What OS is this screen form? Seems unfamilar.
Vista is the greatest king of bugs -_- Even XP is better.
i’l bet $50 it’s windows vista
Here’s you go it’s vista you win i still win but… whatever
i use vista and i’ve never ever seen that screen and i usually have all sorts of computer issues….. funny as crap that i’m a helpdesk person for computers too. lmao
Yes, it is. I was a Vista User for a year and a half up until a month ago. I can assure you that it is, in fact, Vista. One can only get errors like this when running a Microsoft Product. Microsoft and Microsoft Windows suck so badly it isn’t even funny anymore. Did you know that when Bill Gates was introducing Windows 98, he got the Blue Screen of Death? yes, that’s right…Microsoft has always had problems like these. Bill Gates, Microsoft, Windows, and all other Microsoft products suck, are the worst, and shouldn’t be purchased (should be boycotted in an effort to put this horrible company out of business) or forced onto everybody by the computer manufacturers (Dell, HP, Sony, Toshiba, Compaq, eMachines, Acer, etc.). MS and MS Windows SUCK!!!!!!! FAIL IS VALID.
There is a solution to this problem. 1. Yank the power plug and battery (if applicable) from computer. 2. Replace plug. 3. Restart but first put in a live CD of any type of Linux. 4. Install. 5. Live free and happy.
proof vista sucks
Ahh this one of the things I’ve had to disclaim since I changed from PC to Mac: the stupid funny errors that made my days before
In beta windows 7 i saw this dialog with “”playing shutdown sound”, when it played, it shutted down
This should definitely be called “Vista Fail”
Or shorten it to: Windows.
@Bonkskey
Hah, I know! Now I use Ubuntu and XP.
Ubuntu isn’t real Linux. Go for Fedora or CentOS. After all, Ubuntu is based on Fedora. XP is decent, but I am slowly moving away from Microsoft products as they all suck and moving to Linux because it is free, stable, fast, secure, and expandable.
that happened to your mom
comment fail.
it’s actually true, i saw that in my computer (windows 7)
Microsoft when its best! hahaha
no, blue screen is
it’s sorta like wikipedia-ing wikipedia
|the kid|
Microsoft’s new operating systems are continuing to make me shake my head in shame.
Just today I got a message titled “Windows has found a solution to your problem!” I clicked on it and it said “No solution found”
haha. same thing happened to me. another reason added to my mile long list to get away form microsoft and switch to linux.
So….this is like it? and we all run on Moebius strip forever, never seeing the other side of the computer(the inside(not the physical inside, but the emotional inside))? is there a world of small dwarves with spears inside? or maybe the computer’s just gone bonkers and runs off to Hawaii with the floppy disk it met on the production line many years ago when floppy was the thing?
Windows FAIL. IDK if its Vista or 7, but FAIL either way >.>
microsoft fails…
once again. tell me something that isn’t old news.
ok, thats the favorite bug of Bill Gays…..oh my mistake is Bill gates…xD
Something like this happened to me once, it said the following programs are preventing the shutdown: shutdown sound
lol
I hope this never occurs with newer updates of MS Windows 7.
{I could just click ‘Shut Down Now’.}
Happens. I didn’t laugh when this happened….and now I get it. :l
Only on a Microsoft computer. MAC RULES!!!
Up with Kafka!
That was totally my computer last night! I’m not kidding. I didn’t send this in, either.
Without walls and ceilings,
who needs Windows and Gates?
there’s no discount for agreeing with me.
I don’t get it.
I suspect that is possible if you manage to run two “shut downs” at the exact same time. They would both try to shut down the computer, and at the same time keep the other from doing so. This is just an assumtion. I have not tested it.
That’s when I unplug it from the wall.

…How come vista’s are always like that
404 Error Not Found.
1. make program that does nothing but interfere with shut down
2. call it ‘shut down’
3. post picture to fail blog
WINDOWS = FAIL
Still glad with windoos 7 XD?
yo dawg, i heard you like shutting down so we put a shut down in your shut down so you can turn off while you turn off
Oh I got this before XD
Ok, Vista by itself is an epic fail…
lol, that looks like something vista would do…
7 actually, there appears to be a bug in shutdown.exe (where this window is from) in 7, I know someone who gets a empty list…
Windows
This program is preventing your computer from working properly.
Install Linux and reboot.
You may get a lot more work done after you do this.
goooooo microshit!!!
I uploaded this and I can assure you it isn’t fake. It is just pure fail.
Oh BTW, it is Windows Vista Business.
photochopped fail
at win vista/7, shut down is “shutdown”, not “Shut Down”
…Thats not a fail…It’s easy to just rename a program to that name.
fake fail
Thats why u gotta love vista
it’s windows alright
Haha. How can anyone use windows, 4 real.
i don’t know if it’s a fake fail..
Use a Mac. Save the universe.
Windows 7 at its best.
I don’t see why this is an issue. This is how Windows works. Always
I once got this too at work, somewhat a slow comp. I have also gotten a “Playing shutdown sound”
ROFL, That’s happened to me xD
ive had this on windows vista and no it wasnt a pilot error just general reawsons why vista fails and it does loop the best way is to cut off power or in case of a laptop hold power button in
Vista is FAIL itself XD
I’ve had that too.
it’s especially funny ’cause it’s happened to me before XD
