- n666, on 08/11/2008, -0/+256.It's a part of the $100 mil Olympic production, the BSOD is actually 2008 people with small blue and white leds.
- Darksider, on 08/11/2008, -11/+259Shouldn't that error message be in Chinese?
- Pic0, on 08/11/2008, -2/+220The IT department is now working in a coal mine.
- AmazingSteve, on 08/11/2008, -4/+162That's what you get for buying your OS in the Fish Market for $3.
- twoblackeyes, on 08/11/2008, -6/+142Now confirmed as real—visible on the NBC broadcast. Haha.
- BossKey, on 08/11/2008, -5/+129I loved the ceremony, thought it was awesome.
But when it became clear just how much of the over-the-top spectacle of the Chinese opening ceremonies depended on massive projections and LED screens, I couldn't help but start praying under my breath:
"Oh please, oh please, hackers of the world, somebody...rickroll the Olympics!!!" - oneredeye, on 08/11/2008, -3/+109Why would be in Chinese? Nobody reads it when it's in English.
- Kenzan, on 08/11/2008, -1/+104Or dead.
- psykeeq, on 08/11/2008, -24/+112Olympic Fail

it could only be topped by a copyright popup - Greengoo, on 08/11/2008, -1/+81It is faster, over five thous... BAM
- leerayIG88, on 08/11/2008, -3/+81lag.
- metaphyze, on 08/11/2008, -5/+79They thought about calling MS Tech support but reconsidered when they remember their copy of Windows was pirated.
- chazuk, on 08/11/2008, -2/+62Could have been worse.... It could have been a Windows Genuine Advantage popup....
- altgeeky1, on 08/11/2008, -2/+55Lots of Windows software doesn't work right when you run localized Windows. If you want fewer headaches, you run US-local Windows. They may have other reasons, but this is the most likely.
- Leprince, on 08/11/2008, -0/+53Or both.
- wannapiece, on 08/11/2008, -19/+71Usually a hardware fail
- todamax, on 08/11/2008, -2/+50Whats the stop code?

- baldycraig, on 08/11/2008, -1/+41Here's the best view i could find from the NBC HD broadcast. It is right center screen.
http://www.filedropper.com/bsodbnnbc - inactive, on 08/11/2008, -3/+41another ABIT board bites the dust.
- BossKey, on 08/11/2008, -3/+39Maybe they didn't, uh, pay for the Chinese version.
- Aero347, on 08/11/2008, -8/+42If 13 people dugg you down that's 13 people that don't know what causes the BSOD or think that 0x0000007e couldn't possibly refer to the fact that their hard drive has issues physically.
Here's a lesson in Troubleshooting 101: BSODs don't come out of thin air- something's wrong with hardware or the way it's been configured (Drivers). - dazparkour, on 08/11/2008, -0/+32It's only an illegal copy in China if the Chinese government says so - would you like to be the one to suggest it?
- rdvon, on 08/11/2008, -0/+32Zombie coal workers.
- flamingchorizo, on 08/11/2008, -1/+31***** Windows 98!!!!
- Jhiaxuz, on 08/11/2008, -3/+32It can't beat the original though.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzFUcDKC64E - 4321234, on 08/11/2008, -2/+31?Chinese make bad drivers?
- wontstoptalking, on 08/11/2008, -1/+28Holy *****. That would have been the greatest thing in the world. Somebody please get on that right now.
- shutaro, on 08/11/2008, -2/+28*****' lag. =P
- natenovs, on 08/11/2008, -5/+31@CCmachine, mbsjoblom
BSODs aren't caused by application failures - they are cause by driver failures. drivers are extensions of monolithic kernels, and when they crash, the bsod is the error message. fwiw, osx, bsd, and the linux kernel all suffer from the same issue, they're just called kernel panics or sad mac face screen. - gcnaddict, on 08/11/2008, -0/+24It was a driver issue, from what I heard.
- Eezyville, on 08/11/2008, -0/+23WGA?
- beingdevious, on 08/11/2008, -3/+25bill gates just did a giant facepalm
- ghostlywind, on 08/11/2008, -16/+38Wasn't Bill Gates also attending the opening ceremonies?
- FolkTheory, on 08/11/2008, -0/+21...continue...?
- megadan76, on 08/11/2008, -2/+21It's a pirated version.
- PabloMac, on 08/11/2008, -1/+17Nobody has to read that which is permanently burned into memory.
- UltraMegaFilms, on 08/11/2008, -1/+17Mac? In China? The only time you'll see a Mac in China is when it rolls off the manufacturing line.
- ssatish88, on 08/11/2008, -6/+21My thoughts exactly
- mpastrana, on 08/11/2008, -4/+19Olympic Fail
- FutureGuy, on 08/11/2008, -2/+16So would that mean that pretty much everything else ran on MS software in a opening ceremony almost everyone agrees went pretty well? So how would that be Epic fail, wait only this one was running Windows, everything else was Linux or Mac?
- pupppet, on 08/11/2008, -15/+29That's right because all software written for Windows is flawless and bug-free so the OS itself must be to blame when anything goes wrong.
- CColtManM, on 08/11/2008, -1/+15At least it didn't happen to the touch software recording Michael Phelps WR time.
