you will be sitting there for a looooong time belix

Hey, was wondering what the devil was taking the virus scan so long. Interesting file structure, eh? Normally takes 15 minutes. Left it overnight and it was still going this am. Defiantely something cooked somewhere. Restarted it and it worked fine the next time.

another Daily WTF collection....

avast! ye land lubbers...

Some of the older members might remember my old sigs. Custom made errors





[Edit by neon - spaces sorted out for images. BTW, lol I remember these]

Thanks neon, wondered why they wouldn't work

Hey DJT, no problem. Remember spaces are "%20" in html, bbcode.. etc.

From rusty,

This error I have recieved about three times in my life, and last night when I was shutting down my pc, it came up... I couldn't do anything on my pc, and I knew if I clicked "close message" I would lose it. So I just pressed MS's holy trinity of keys, and ran MSPaint, and was able to manouvre the stuff around and save it.

I was hosing myself!!!! Bwaaaahahahaha!!!

rofl!!! at least it was for your own good that it would close the evil program down zell

hehe... what noobs, honestly!!!

I caught this one just as it was about to finish...
Hmm... seems I do not understand the complex mathematics involved in Norton downloads...

the source file is duff.... the size declared on request and that actually on disc differ...

I get this a lot with AVG... the problem, i suspect, lies in the protocol being used not receiving a terminator bit in the order expected... whereas tcp/ip reassembles the frames in order, i have seen the avg data stream sans terminator... it just keeps dumping, uhh..., cow patties into the file...

still good for a laugh though...

ROFL!

Hint... look at the song length...

Yeah.. that was a common bug in WMP... I think they got rid of it in WMP v10?

im not sure... its da 1st time iv seen dat though... I downloaded the song.. (legally). And i was like... isnt this song longer than 2:39...

You should download Windows Media Player 10. Since I started sing that, I have only seen this error once.

I've seen it twice even a divx video clip showing play time 9 hours...?? 8O

for the eclipse user in us all....




there is a downside to opensource...

all this and more @ The Daily WTF...

i still think the worst is Half life two.... my word, they spend $40 million on a game and they still cant count... i wish i had a screen shot though... just take a look... go to the screen for starting a new game, then count the chapters and look at the chapter title numbers.... i think chapter 9 is repeated twice... i couldnt believe it.......

Yet another installment from The Dialy WTF :

This was on the [H]ardOCP frontpage. Some guy had taken a picture of his screen after his computer crashed:
