I think I can share some of the more intriguing errors/general software weirdness screen shots that I've collected over the years. Here's a sample: Would it be bad form to dump ~30 of them into one post?

Yeah, 'questions' in some error messages can be awesome.

 The Word one says "Serious disk error detected in sparse.txt".

Lum posted:So you created a 16TB sparse file and then tried to open it in stuff? Yeah, basically.

Sagebrush posted:Those are all totally expected and reasonable error messages, though. The NotePad one even tells you exactly what the problem is. I'm sorry. "System cannot find the file"? "Serious disk error"? And outright crash of winamp? I don't see how those are reasonable in any way. "Disk full" I can kind of understand even if it's not really correct.

Sparseness of the file is completely transparent to the application. All reads of the "missing" parts just return 0. And if the application crashes on malformed input... Well, we're one step away from buffer overflows and code execution.

thelightguy posted:Next someone is going to post an IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL blue screen from pre-SP2 XP like it's some surprise. "But look at how unhelpful and obtuse it is, it doesn't even mention that it's a video driver!" You can always load the dump into a debugger and check!

 That's what I call an accurate error message!

 Didn't know + is not a character. I think it only accepts alphanumeric characters...

Still, it could at least show an error code or something.
