Capture the Hog: BSOD Strikes The Bay

Blue screen of death...LOL. Why wouldn't they turn off the illumination until they fix it?

Now, if only we could get the ones in Dundas Square to follow suit... ;)

Somebody call Guinness! :P

that is pretty funny.

Is there a higher quality image somewhere?

ben probably wants to be able to read the error code so he can cold call the Bay and offer to fix their bad disk sector :P

LOL. Thanks for the heads up, no one told me. I've fixed the problem.

They are 2 storeys high, so, over 20 feet tall, and I'd suspect about 40' wide?

The better quality image would make for a great desktop image :)

This reminds me of an error message I saw on an electronic billboard in New York York last October.

I wish I had seen them when it was like that. But unfortunately they are back to normal.

I certainly would love to have a wallpaper version of that pic. :D

If this doesn't let that part of the world know that Macs are TRULY where it's at, then, I fear, not much more will.

uzuff - The TO in BlogTO is for Toronto.

I saw this the other night but didn't have my camera with me.

looks like the file is ntfs.sys

holy cr*p, ..they'd better get linux.

thank you for the screen :))

Dont live there, but it looks like a fake, isn't it ?

HappyPanda, In perhaps 20 years of working with Unix (and more recently, Linux) systems, on many different hardware platforms, I've seen a "kernel panic" exactly once, and the pot of coffee spilled on the top of that particular machine that day probably had something to do with it. If it's "mission-critical," folks tend to pick Unix on big boxes and Linux on desktop boxes. MS Windows has 95% of the desktop/consumer market, but 98% of the servers on the Internet are running Unix/Linux. Any questions?

@Bobby Flay Which is exactly why the cashpoint at the shop up the road WILL NEVER WORK.

"Umm, I've got news for you. Most ATM machines run on NT."

Um, news for you....no they don't. Try OS/2 or any flavour of Linux/Unix...not NT.

Hello,

In the UK, certain bank machines (ATM) do run Windows NT or 2000. This worries me as I often to see my local ATM (near the office) with a "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Error" popup on the screen.

As a Linux user, I tend not to use that machine very often (only in emergencies), as I often wonder if the runtime error could occur after your bank balance is updated but before the cash is dispensed.

Bloody Windows!
