Re: DirectX error in Times Square
My school's main monitor for roster changes is carrying an error message twice a week now. Really bloody annoying, but not half as big as this one, though.

I remember my universities chem department used to have a nice TV display showing the latest messages. One day it simply had a black screen with a guru meditiation number on it. :)


About 5 people will probably get what that means :)

Speaking of windows errors in funny places, this is my own experience, while on a cross-Atlantic flight to Italy. I was on an Airbus, with those little video screens in the seats in front of you, and this showed up (it's blurry cause it was dark):

Re: DirectX error in Times Square
Well, at least it was the video and not something like, I dunno, the control or navigation system that crashed. I really hope those systems aren't running windows.

[Edit] Seems I type slower than starfox :p
