Wooden Computer Accessories
polyp2000 writes "It's always interesting to read about case-mods, but this company has a novel twist, for nature loving geeks. Maybe even the perfect accessory for a wooden case mod. Swedx do a nice line in wooden monitors, keyboards, and some sweet looking wooden mice in a selection of different woods."

windows (452268) is hated by no one?!
It is your duty as a Slashdot reader to officially and formally hate windows. Slashdot is impure until windows' freaks outnumber it's fans! Strike down this vile evil corporate monster today! Show it how much you hate it. Do Slashdot a favor and bloat windows' freaks list!
Celebrate Our Success!
Our founder, users.pl, has enjoyed great success in persuading brave moderators to promote our cause. Both posts were modded back to -1 in short order, but make sure you metamod our positive moderations as fair and the negative moderations as unfair! Do not let our brave supporters' efforts be shot down by windows loving Nazis!
users.pl has gained public support in other areas as well, gaining nearly unanimous moderator support in a posting promoting the benefits of open source. Waves of people have already joined our cause causing windows' freaks list to inflate rapidly. In response to our onslaught, windows has posted a frantic and angry journal entry criticizing no less than all of Slashdot for it's open source zealotry! Surely, as faithful readers of Slashdot and loving supporters of open source you will not let this blasphemy continue! Make windows your foe today! Every Slashdot account counts!

ANSWERS
1. What is BSOD?
BSOD is a shortcut from Blue Screen of Death. BSOD is closely tied with Microsoft's operating systems. Due to large number of system bugs, a blue screen can appear freezing basic operations, an application's work, or even with no occasion, decreasing system's functionality, or permanently hanging it at. BSOD displays as an blue screen, filled with more or less clear error message.
after Jargon File: "The following entry from the Salon Haiku Contest , seems to have predated popular use of the term:
Windows NT crashed.
I am the Blue Screen of Death
No one hears your screams." back to top
2. Who supports BSOD? Who develops it?
BSOD exists because of the great creativity of Microsoft's programmers. That's why it works on probably all systems.

3. How to get BSOD?
BSOD is a part of Windows, so you don't have to install anything to use it. You have to do only a few, usually untypical, sequences, widely described in question 5.

4. What is Black Screen of Death?
Black Screen of Death is an ancestor of Blue Screen of Death. It was developed in the DOS environment.

5. Is it hard to execute BSOD?
Putting a little bit of invention to your work with a computer, it is very simple to execute BSOD. But sometimes it depends on what version of Windows you've got. BSOD execution problems are more precisely described in the BSOD-HOWTO, available at bsod.org.

6. Do other systems support BSOD?
As far as I know, other systems are rather using their own error messaging methods and only Microsoft's systems support it correctly. But there is a small possibility you can get a Blue Screen in other systems, see question 9.

7. Is BSOD a bug, or a tradition?
According to definition, a bug is a part of program that is not working correctly. Despite so many versions of windows, BSOD still exists so it's a useful feature. The bugs are scattered quite liberally in most of Microsoft's operating systems, so the BSOD, an error reporting system as well as an end to all your current work is in fact a feature. What would it be, if we had no BSOD? It would only cause confusion and chaos, because Windows, without a Blue Screen just is not old good Windows. Your machine would just die with no explanation. A BSOD is like the rolling of the credits at the end of a movie, you know it's The End.

8. Where can I get more info about BSOD? ;))
Main source of information about BSOD is a web page of an unofficial organization: http://www.bsod.org A lot of interesting information should also have BSOD designers: http://www.microsoft.com And, like always, the best knowledge source is your own computer: 127.0.0.1 (if it's not hung

9. How to get a BSOD in other operating systems?
Getting a BSOD in system other than Windows is rather difficult, but not impossible. One way to taste bsod, is to install some poor error emulator. This can be for example xscreensaver. By de

I have my stupid personal life principles.
One is to NEVER EVER use html when plain text will do. Another is to NEVER EVER have a M$ passport account. There are others....

All Nazis wore Hugo Boss uniforms, so they are much more chic and get all the fun that way.
