Public BSOD Sightings?

Posted by Cliff on from the inescapable-blue-screen-of-death dept.

Sanksa Wott asks: "My travels over the weekend brought me to a very popular fast food restaurant, where, in the drive-through I was greeted with, what else... a blue screen! Since BSOD's can show up almost anywhere, I thought I would ask: 'What has your funniest/most interesting/noteworthy/etc. encounter with public displays of the BSOD been like?' Note: This isn't meant to be a troll, so lets be nice ;)"

  1. For three years! by Kethinov · · Score: 1, Troll

    I hadn't seen a BSOD for THREE YEARS until I started college. The first thing I saw when I came home after the first day of classes was a BSOD on my roommate's computer. That was my first moment of real doubt that I'd find anyone else at my little community college who knew anything about Linux. The blue glow of the BSOD has become a common thing in my dorm these days from the opposite end of my side of the room.

    I suppose this isn't really a public sighting, but there's very little privacy in a dorm room. Since I'm the only Linux user a the entire school, BSOD sightings are pretty common.

    You're right, I wouldn't steal a car. But if it were possible, I sure as hell would download one!
  2. BSOD least of your worries... by hal9000 · · Score: 0, Troll

    I wouldn't be worried about a BSOD there, pal.
    Not when you've got a HMOD** to deal with.
