**YoungBuck** · Feb 15th, 2001, 10:15 PM

Turning on the computer.

Sorry couldn't resist

**dimava** · Feb 15th, 2001, 10:16 PM

LOL :-)

**YoungBuck** · Feb 15th, 2001, 10:17 PM

... and BTW Linux isn't crash free either, at least not Caldera's version.

**HarryW** · Feb 15th, 2001, 10:21 PM

Windows gets a protection error if a program writes to a protected area of memory, which is an area of memory Windows is using for itself. The reason this happens so frequently is hard to say, but it could be prevented from happening with a slightly different core design. It's complicated and I don't really understand it too well, so I won't try to explain how it could be avoided. It should never happen, but most applications have at least a couple of bugs in, and it can happen occasionally. The OS really ought to prevent it.

Linux isn't crash-free, just more stable.

**dimava** · Feb 15th, 2001, 10:25 PM

yea thats what I meant.... cuz it never crashed on me (in the 2 months that I had to use it last year)

**nukem996** · Feb 15th, 2001, 11:43 PM

goto one of those newbies, tell them thier net connection will be faster if they goto start/run and type in "/con/con" THIS ONLY WORKS ON WIN 98!!! then watch them freak when they c a the blue screen of death come up.

**nukem996** · Feb 15th, 2001, 11:46 PM

every operating system can crash. my school got one of those new mac g-4 they thought it was crash prof. so i said i bet i could crash it on my norm use. running 25 ei windows, dling 6 files, playing mp3's, and tested a mac program. it crashed really bad.

haha showed them. linux is pretty good with that stuff. but i have linux on my old computer, that original ran win 3.1 and was upgraded 5 times and fixed once(i mean i had to reconnect every wire) i tryed running a program and it crashed bad.

**YoungBuck** · Feb 15th, 2001, 11:47 PM

ummmm.... If you read the thread the question asked was what makes windows crash, not how to make windows crash.

**nukem996** · Feb 15th, 2001, 11:55 PM

typeing in "/con/con" then clicking ok or pressing enter will make windows crash.
o yea and my old api cd player.

**nukem996** · Feb 15th, 2001, 11:56 PM

my http down loader. this one crashes win really bad. first it slows down then crashs. but only crashs w/ big files.

**Jeff_1** · Feb 16th, 2001, 03:41 AM

Bill gates makes it crash so he can increase his revenue by introducing so-called better OS's. That why.

Isnt "Crash Free" ive crashed it before

really fun when you see the faces on the admins' faces, even thou i am admin

**Active** · Feb 16th, 2001, 06:15 AM

Hah...Used the Red Hat Flavour Many Times...

Every time Linux Crashes...There is a Core Dump.
Some time they are 50 MB !!!

And I am Still Wondering How to Use the Core Dumps to
Diagnose Where the Problem is .

**chrisjk** · Feb 17th, 2001, 10:56 PM

Is Win2k free from crashes? I reckon it blows that they release a sub-standard pile of poo called Win98 that crashes at the drop of a hat (when something tries to write to a protected area of memory for example) and you have to pay s**t loads for NT or 2K which supposedly can handle this dumb situation. The number of blue screens i've had this week is starting to rival the miles from here to the Sun. And it's ALWAYS got something to do with that "buggier than an ants nest" app called IE5.5

Another thing, old gatesy is starting to p*ss me off with this non-copying version of apps. I mean, what are we ganna do if we actually have to pay for this crappy OS?? I REALLY hope NOBODY in the world buys Whistler then it will show that muther we ain't ganna take his god damn s**t.

ARE YOU WITH ME PEOPLE!!?!? We can do to Msoft what he did to IBM. Lets go!!!

**dimava** · Feb 18th, 2001, 12:24 AM

what did he do to IBM? IBM is just a type of computer 'main frame', the system in how it works, not an Operating System

**nukem996** · Feb 18th, 2001, 12:48 AM

I know what they did, but I won't say cause you'll all scream at me, and call me a fool when im not but your the fools.

Hint: IBM did make an OS, like win 95

Feb 18th, 2001, 01:06 AM

OS/2 was a joint development between ibm and MS, and was meant to be the next step from DOS. ibm did not want to aim at the 386 chip for fear of loss of sales from their mini division and thus loss their lead in the PC wars and notably the OS wars. MS was developing windows at the same time with Gates making the decision to go full ahead with Windows after the frustration of working with Big Blue.

PS: You are the fool.

**nukem996** · Feb 18th, 2001, 01:13 AM

whois that? he looks like a fat fu<|<er. hes ugly as hell. tell him i said dat. alright? DO IT NOW!!! DAMN IT DON'T TYPE WHAT IM SAYING!!!

My friend jack. I did not say any of it, he did. He was going to start a fight if I didn't.

**nukem996** · Feb 18th, 2001, 01:14 AM

PS: Dennis, I might be going to VA during spring break.

Feb 18th, 2001, 01:16 AM

Good for you. But do you know the city I live in, or which street I live on?

PS: I'm not listed in the phone book, so don't even try.

Wow, what a friend, he is going to fight you if you don't try to make me feel bad.

And what is he doing over at your house so late anyway? I didn't think teenage boys really had sleep overs anymore, unless they were... you know....gay...

**nukem996** · Feb 18th, 2001, 01:25 AM

He's here for a few more hours till like 4 then he's going home. at lest we don't say "I don't goto porn sites its my brother." I think you goto gay porn sites. Cause you know you cann't get any in real life.

At least I got a real girl friend. Not one you talk to on-line.

Feb 18th, 2001, 01:30 AM

I am not denying I look at porn, and I am not admitting it. I am only saying, I am tired of getting into trouble when my brother does it. And what makes you think I can't get any? What makes you think I even want any? I'm 14 years old, and not prepared to have a baby or contract an STD, I think I'm going to wait a few more years.

Feb 18th, 2001, 01:36 AM

I don't understand what you're saying.

First, you say I look at gay porn sites, then you say I have an online girlfriend. Something isn't right here.

But, of course, I don't look at gay porn sites, and I don't have an online girlfriend. I don't have a 'real' girlfriend, but I could. There are quite a few girls that wouldn't mind going out with me, but I am waiting for somebody in particular. A girl who is perfect, sweet, funny, and smart. I have found her, but I don't spend any time at all with her, because I am not in a single class with her. I her to know me better before I ask her out.

**nukem996** · Feb 18th, 2001, 01:36 AM

If you look at porn it means it want it but cann't have it.

**nukem996** · Feb 18th, 2001, 01:38 AM

My girl friend is a hot Porterican.

Feb 18th, 2001, 01:39 AM

I cannot beleive you are denying looking at porn, after accusing me of it.

If you look at porn it means it want it but cann't have it.

What is that supposed to mean?

And, I never admitted to looking at porn.

Feb 18th, 2001, 01:42 AM

It is spelled Puerto Rican.

Anyhow, she is 'hot'?
Is that all that matters? You did not say how nice, funny, or smart she is. And you never said how happy she makes you. Are you only going out with her because she makes you horny?

You freak.

What are you talking about, speak clearly damn it.

Feb 18th, 2001, 01:44 AM

I am speaking clearly, it means it want it was a quote from one of your previous posts.

**nukem996** · Feb 18th, 2001, 01:47 AM

Her stats:
Music: Same as mine
Programing: Basic/VC++
Grades: A/B
Comidey: Great jokes, like the ones you dennis think are sick
Artistic: Yes

**nukem996** · Feb 18th, 2001, 01:49 AM

I don't look at it.

Feb 18th, 2001, 01:51 AM

So, she listens to horrible music, can only program in DOS, has a very sick mind, and can draw?

I think you made her up. Most of all, because I have never found a girl who thinks swinging a dead baby around by it's testicles is funny.

**nukem996** · Feb 18th, 2001, 01:59 AM

no she tells jokes that you would consider sick. not like those, and if you must talk to her shes on right now, msn name blind.

**nukem996** · Feb 18th, 2001, 02:01 AM

Umm. . . VC++ stands for Visual C++. So they all don't come up in dos.

Feb 18th, 2001, 02:02 AM

What kind of jokes do you think I consider sick?

I was stating that the joke about the dead baby was very sick. I was not talking about any other joke that was told.

I know that, I'm not a moron like a certain person I'm talking to right now. But, I am just saying, that I'm pretty sure she doesn't know windows programming yet. If she does, I'm very sorry.
