MIcrosoft Admits Screwing Up

[kronarq]

I was browsing around on Microsoft's site and I got this message when visiting MS Live Ideas.

The text is a little small. Here is what it says..

Now that is what I call an error message.
Public.. (well sorta) admission that they have indeed errored.

Now off to bed I go.

and the point is? Wait, I bet there is no point. Thihs is just a random bash of Microsoft. Question for you. Since you despise Microsoft so much, why aren't you using Linux?

Lighten up Francis. :p

I like the 0xDEAD message. No guessing what the problem is there, it's DEAD!

[XOR != OR]

I used to code in all sorts of fun messages in the websites I'd admin/maintain. My personal favorite:

"Oops! Ran out of electrons, can't give you the page you were after. I emailed the admin, he should be by shortly to refill the electron bucket. Try back later"

Granted, these would only show up under very odd error conditions.

Lighten up Francis. :p
Who's Francis?

Who's Francis?
From Stripes (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083131/quotes). :p

Psycho: The name's Francis Sawyer, but everybody calls me Psycho. Any of you guys call me Francis, and I'll kill you.
Leon: Ooooooh.
Psycho: You just made the list, buddy. Also, I don't like no one touching my stuff. So just keep your meathooks off. If I catch any of you guys in my stuff, I'll kill you. And I don't like nobody touching me. Any of you homos touch me, and I'll kill you.
Sergeant Hulka: Lighten up, Francis.

Uhh yeah, MS sucks, fight the power... and so forth... Emo rocks... I'm a hardcore rebel beeeyotch... Open source rules you all.. *mumble mumble* 'n some bread too.

Wait... sorry about that guys, I was trying to fit in with the Internet "cool kids" by hating on anything mainstream, I've learned my lesson, I won't do it again!

I hate hypocrites. People say they hate Microsoft and their products and refuse to pay for a licensed copy yet they use anyway (illegally of course). I purchased licenses for all the computers in my house for WinXP since I use it and I support Microsoft for them making a great product, although it's usually the drivers that cause a faulty setup.

:rolleyes: somebody hacked microsfot :D

although it's usually the drivers that cause a faulty setup.

Yes it is.

Uhh yeah, MS rocks, support the power... and so forth... Yanni rocks... I'm a loyal respectful team player sir... Corporate licensed code rules you all.. *mumble mumble* 'n some caviar too.

:rolleyes:

Wait... sorry about that guys, I was trying to fit in with the MS cheerleaders by hating on anything that appears negative towards MS, I've learned my lesson, I won't do it again!

The OP posted an amusing error code. Which will undoubtedly lead to people ragging on MS, so on and so forth. It's sad that one can't even mention the word Microsoft on here anymore without a flame fest.

When will you trolls learn to keep the anti-MS crap in the linux/mac forum?

Most of us who help on this forum work extensively/exclusively with/for Microsoft. So we don't want to hear a bunch of 12 year-old script kiddies bashing on how The Empire will crush us all. Oh, and it's disrespectful...not that many of you would understand that though.


Thank you for you cooperation.

[z-lite]

Haha, The Empire. I like the name. <zombie voice>All hail The Empire</zombie voice>
