We have a new euphemism for 'patch'

You know what George? I wish you'd posted this an hour or so ago :( Just installed the patch on one of the servers and after everything was done (and after waiting a few minutes) did a restart. The machine died and it'll be a few hours before someone can come in and fix things up on that server. :mad: cheers, Chris Maunder
Odd, I installed it, and have not experienced any problems. Yet... :-D

I was giving Nick Hodapp (MS VC++ PM) a hard time the other day and he threatened to insert
#ifdef CHRIS_MAUNDER
random_crash(SEVERITY_TERMINAL);
#endifito their code. And I thought he was joking :rolleyes: cheers, Chris Maunder

Why dont they just call it UBF [Universal Bug Fix]? Isn't that what the patches or SPs are! Nish Sonork ID 100.9786 voidmain www.busterboy.org If you don't find me on CP, I'll be at Bob's HungOut

We all know that, Microsoft knows that we know it, BUT Microsoft have always maintained that non of their products have ever had a bug in them. Problems are always "issues", "next version feature", "design decisions" or "user faults" :-D regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love, and be loved in return" - Moulin Rouge Martin Marvinski wrote: Unfortunatly Deep Throat isn't my cup of tea Do you Sonork?

"Security Rollup Package". Love it! Microsoft have released a new patch - er, update, er, service pack, no, I mean security rollup package for W2K that covers all known security issues since SP2. Get it while it's hot. I assume the usual suspects will point and laugh if this is already common knowledge. cheers, Chris Maunder
Everyone has figured out what 'service pack' really means, so they had to go and change the language. Perhaps this is what Bill was talking about in the 'security is top priority' letter.

It will take me so long to download it that by the time I download it I'll have gotten feedback on the patch :-) Nish Sonork ID 100.9786 voidmain www.busterboy.org If you don't find me on CP, I'll be at Bob's HungOut
By the time you finish downloading Win2K will have joined DOS in the bit-bucket Fixing Microsoft bugs must be a lot like herding cats...

I've known about the random_crash() function, having found it in use in many products, especially popular GUI OSs. Thanks for sharing the correct syntax, Chris:-D I've found a reliable way to prevent all user-induced errors! It executes from the Run= key in the Registry, and immediately restarts the PC!
