Sodding BSOD -- 3:58 pm CST, Update by The Master

Okay, I've had about 10 minutes to get revved up for this one:

THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THE BSOD!
NONE! ZERO TOLERANCE! There is NO reason for a decently (hehe) written kernel to crash. An app can crash. A browser can wipe out. But the BLOODY SYSTEM KERNEL SHOULD BE A FRIGGIN ROCK! Okay-I'm going to take my valium now. . .

A.T. Hun comments: Linux looks better every day. When the next version of X comes out with the DRI (think DirectX) stuff, I may no longer have an excuse to stay with Windows.

J.t.Qbe comments: Come to the light side, where the light is not blue. Keep Windows for games; it's acceptable for toys to break. It's unacceptable for an OS to take your real work with it. Repeat after me: Linux and BSD, Linux and BSD, Linux and BSD. . . I guarantee that you will see no BSOD in the Unix world. (Well, actually I came to work today and found the NT BSOD on my screen. Weird, since I run Linux. One of the screensavers is an "OS death hall o' fame". . .)

The Master comments: I wish I could switch OSes at work. However, I can't break corporate policy that easily. Plus I think it'd be rather difficult to write Delphi Win32 code in Linux. Or NT for that matter since the Win32 "API" isn't consistent between NT and Win9x anyway-and my user base is Win9x. Gotta love Windows. NOT.
