Timan Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 Like you need a screen saver to show one of those. Still quite funny.Need a kernal panic one for osx, since those occur just as much. Link to comment
Soniku Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 o hell ya i am sooo gettin this when i get home...LMAO Link to comment
Ludge Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 Like you need a screen saver to show one of those. Still quite funny.Need a kernal panic one for osx, since those occur just as much.Do you actually get kernel panics regularly then? I've only ever had two. Once was just random, and the other happened when I unloaded the kernel extension for my powerbook trackpad and then tried to move the mouse pointer with it (doh!). Link to comment
jbgamble Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 Do you actually get kernel panics regularly then? I've only ever had two. I've never had any in almost 2 years with OSX. I'm graphic artist and have multiple progs open all the time, and this is on a G4 made in 2001. Maybe its just luck... Not that I havn't had issues with progs freezing, or glitches that have forced me to reboot. On a lighter note, I just loaded this screensaver on our NT machine and really freaked out the girl that works with me....Very Funny, LOL. Link to comment
Slewed Posted November 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 i thought it was a joke, i didnt realise it was a proper screensaver and that people would take it so seriously, maybe its in the wrong section Link to comment
wizard Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 Wow, I've never seen a company so proud of their ultimate sign of failure. Need a kernal panic one for osx, since those occur just as much. What do you do? Show your Mac a picture of a microwave oven?!? I've never had one of those before. Link to comment
gnomexp Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 It's still good. Wish I had rights to install it throughout a 20 computer lab. Link to comment
Timan Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 Not the best pic, camera was dieing. Link to comment
gnomexp Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 Even better when the whole screen goes transparent overlay black with that symbol. But yeah..... Kernel Panics are pretty on Mac. Link to comment
iGo Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 I have had those (Kernel Panics) on my damn mini... but never on my iBook, anyway as for mini it had to do mostly with me as I had opened it myself.why? don't ask... curiosity killed the cat. Period. Link to comment
nightcrawler1089 Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 Haven't had a kernel panic (yet), but OS X has crashed twice in just over three months. Not sure, but I think my Windows laptop crashed less . -NC Link to comment
Paralex Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 @Timan: Do you mind sending me that Kernel Panic screensaver (if that is a screen saver) or pointing out a link to me? That's an awesome screensaver and I'd probably scare myself from forgetting that I saved it as my screensaver. Link to comment
thehundredthone Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 Wait, how would you know the difference between the screen saver and the real thing? Link to comment
The Cereal Mouse Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 Ubuntu 5.10 came with a kickass screensavers full of crashes over many operating systems... Its nice to have this on Windows Link to comment
gnomexp Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 Because if it was the real thing, the ONLY thing you could do is hold the powerbutton for three seconds. Otherwise, you can just mouse out of it. Link to comment
Slewed Posted November 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 you can't mouse out of this one gnome, you must press esc...it actually had me a bit stumped for about 5 seconds Link to comment
testos Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 Ubuntu 5.10 came with a kickass screensavers full of crashes over many operating systems...Its nice to have this on Windows Thats a screensaver thats on most linux distros. I can play with that that for hours. Link to comment
gnomexp Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 you can't mouse out of this one gnome, you must press esc...it actually had me a bit stumped for about 5 seconds I'm talking about a hypothetical kernel panic screensaver on Mac... I don't think one exists right now. I don't have a Windows computer and am not talking about the BSOD funness. That clarify a little? :cool: Link to comment
Austin123 Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 I've only gotten a BSOD 4 years ago and it was because i clicked on every "Hit me and get a ps1!" those days Link to comment
thehundredthone Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 I used to get them only on 95 when my old CD-ROM failed to read a disc. Haven't seen one in all the XP years. Link to comment
godpunk Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 If you're getting constant kernel panics, check your hardware and firmware. My Mac Pro used to kernel panic at least 3-4 times a week and sometimes 2-3 times per day, and the culprit turned out to be my USB wireless adapter. Link to comment
Slewed Posted February 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 oh look what i found!:http://globalgeek.thepodcastnetwork.com/20...4/clippy-prank/it's actually not that annoying, it does sit in the memory but it doesn't do anything worse then appear every minute, and it doesn't even seem to take focus.but maybe its the way i've set up xp...

Levi- The perfectionist Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 Good. Its about time Microsoft got a bit of a sense of humour... (and accept that thier OS' have fundamental flaws) "Use Bluescreen to amaze your friends and scare your enemies!" shall do ... this'll be really bad publicity if it catches on with everyone... somone better Digg this... hehehehe @Timan- at least Apple's version is a little prettier with transparencies and a smooth font... and it happens less often. Its usually due to dodgy or poorly installed ram Link to comment
Conner Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 Haha, it would have been, if it isn't old news by now.That is still funny though, and for mac users, someone around here made a kernel panic wallpaper. Link to comment
