That runs on Unix.

 
It'd better, if it has systems to keep brain alive.

Who knows... all matter, does not.
 
But if XP doesn't have BSoDs, what does it have then?

Or black... though it would be still BSoD.
 
But some people have said that X-Box has a green screen of death. I don't know if I believe...

HAH! Never new that! Though I do know for a fact that they seem to scratch the CD/DVD's! It was on the news a while back that some of the models were set on recall and were fixed, at least here in Finland. It was funny too cause I was at a store that just started to sell Xboxes and there was the one for everyone to try out. Anyway, I give it a go, play a while, then it suddenly stops and freezes on me! The sound in a loop. So I call the clerk, who looks at me evily, thinking I broke it somehow. Which is impossible cause the Xbox is behind probably bulletproof plexiglass. So he takes a look. Restarts it and the demo cd wont start, all that flashes on the screen is a message saying that the CD in the drive is not of Xbox format! Hahaaha! Its own demo cd that was working only minutes before. They even cold booted it and it didn't start anymore. Even funnier was what I heard behind me when this was going on, "Well, ****. I'm not buying an Xbox anymore!" Man I almost cracked up.

[OT, though X-Box related]
Heh, I have also tried an X-Box and I tried Halo MP with my friends. Well, there were two controllers, other of them was the regular one and other was some strange one. Well, I played with the strange one and pressed "reprogram" button, by mistake. Well after that the controller didn't work anymore, and I came back after a few days (with my friends again) and thought that it'd work now, but it didn't. I guess it can be made working again, but it's strange that they put "reprogram" button on a place where it's easily clicked. :doh:

I dunno Dark, that wasn't up to scratch.

I merely laughed uncontrollably at that one whilst the 'dive dive pilot!' one made me laugh uncontrollably and fall off my seat.

[OT Xbox related]
Actually... I noticed quite a same thing in Tampere Anttila Dark. I knew that there was a Xbox with a Demo CD in it and since one day I had some extra time to kill I decided to have a look if no one was playing it and have a few matches of DoA3. I had played with the same Xbox a few days ago. Anyway, I wen't to the store and noticed that there was a message on the screen saying that "The CD doesn't work because it might be scratched"... or somethign like that. It could have been in heavy use but still... not very promising

After reading that X-box's can catch fire if left on too long I immediatly said Screw That!

Check the pamphlets that come with the machine.  Says that if a little red light comes on then it's overheating and should be turne doff for a minimum of 30 minutes.

Then I found an article that someone claimed their X-box caught their entertainment system (stand and stuff) on fire..

[Dark_4ce]

I could definitely see M$ using that as a marketing tool to show how POWERFUL their console is!

I loved it.
