Hey, stop that! ApMeFo is throwing unknown errors, too! :D

Re: Windows (rant)
 

Yeah but your software is in beta stages and still in testing. It is normal for unknown errors to occur. And you don't charge for it either.

Re: Windows (rant)
 

Hehe, true on the charge part, but the unknown write error won't go away in later stages, simply because I'm too lazy to learn how to get more information out of Python/QT (QFile only returns "An error occurred while writing file", which in ApMeFo translates to an unknown write error :D).

So, at what point does it stop being funny and start being an insult?

Re: Windows (rant)
 

I think that the quintessential, amazingly honest, ms windows error is:

Re: Windows (rant)
 

Oddly rsync gave me a similar error when I was trying to copy some NITDroid files over to my SDCard (because their bzcat command for extracting the tbz failed miserably on the vfat partition... )

It basically said "There were errors" then the next line said "Operation completed successfully" It was just the symlinks anyhow.

By far the best error ever is the Bios error.

Pure awesome.

By the way, I have always hated windows. I grew up using an Atari 800Xl, then an Atari Mega STe, and Amiga 500, then had to suffer through the crashing of Windows 95 (thank god, I never really had to use Windows 3.1 or earlier. Though I did fix a DOS CD-ROM driver issue with an old Windows 3 box.)

I had to fix the exact opposite in one of my applications today when I got a success message that roughly translates to:

Re: Windows (rant)
 

BIOS != Windows

Just saying...

Re: Windows (rant)
 

I think that was part of slaapliedje's point. Pretty much all systems have really stupid error messages.
