Re:Hah! I've got something that will crash IE also
No, his own OS does.
(I actually don't know if your whole machine will crash hard with this, I don't have a machine to test it on, but there was a lot of buzz about it on flipcode awhile ago).
This is from here.
And finally, a non-screenshot related bug: the following neat little program, when compiled and run, will completely crash XP (and any earlier version of NT) (when I ran it, XP rebooted). I don't recommend you really try this program, but if you do, save all your work etc first:
#include <stdio.h>
int main (void) {
while (1)
printf ("\t\t\b\b\b\b\b\b");
return 0;

LOL (Was 'Re:boycott XP?')
"---
The Microsoft Crash
Gallery "
this idiots' sig links to a gallery of MS OS crashes. Wanna know why there's no Linux crashes gallery? cause you can't take a screenshot when X eats shit. LOL. and we all know how X blows up for the slightest reason too. What a bunch of pimple faced bozos!
Oh yeah, and funny stuff about the Justice dept too!!! hahahha the same folks 'oppressing geeks and sklyarov'. HAHHAHA!
Linux geeks can't tell their heads from their asses! -
Re:boycott XP?
Perhaps you missed it in the news, but Microsoft was recently tried in court for illegally abusing their monopoly position to retain dominance and unfairly squash competition. It was generally called the "Microsoft antitrust trial", and not only was Microsoft found guilty, but the appeals court upheld the guilty verdict. So Microsoft's success was ill-gained - this is not just arbitrary opinions of some people, its a fact that has been not only found in court but upheld by the appeals court (or do you think all the judges are also just jealous of Microsoft's success?).
The reason for the boycott is basically that all the illegal tactics that Microsoft used to gain dominance are still being used, they continue to break the law, and the lack of competition that results from this is harming customers.
Did you really not notice this trial that was going on? It was very well publicised. Or did you just neglect to listen when the facts of the case were discussed in the media?
