Screens Of Death

There are some on here I hadn’t seen before.
Everyone knows the BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death) on Windows. It usually means failing hardware or in the least a reload is needed.
I’ve also seen the Sad Mac, the “Bomb”, Guru Meditation (my personal fav, though it did have a tendency to piss me off regardless of its intrigue) and Red Screen Of Death on Windows development builds. Believe it or not, I have even seen the BSOD on GNU/Linux, though this is usually due to a misconfiguration and most often can be fixed fairly easily. But yeah, there are a few on here which were new to me.
My Black Cat Linux system here even has a nifty little screensaver on it that displays various Screens Of Death in a slideshow. Anyway, here’s the Wikipedia article on Screens Of Death [wikipedia.org]. An entertaining read for those of us with computers that work.
