Stupid computer error messages

[soapbox]

Any time you do business with a system resource (file, network link, etc.) you should check the status and display an INFORMATIVE error message if the operation fails.

Bad: File open error.

Good: Date/time program_name - file open error: /path/filename.ext (system error code) (error explanation text i.e. perror())

Some even in Haiku!

I’m quite fond of: “Error. Disk is full. Delete some files and try again” popping up when you’re trying to delete files. :smack:

I get an error every so often when I boot up Windows XP

PAGE_FAULT_IN_UNPAGED_AREA

Huh :confused:
