isus i agree... imagine tho, a computer bluescreening randomly, but not restarting, and not showing the bluescreen, the monitor just shuts off.

happened to me a lot. One of the few reasons i am going mac.

the only reason windows sets to restart is because the common user won't know what to do if they see that strange blue screen, nor will they know what the error is, therefore power users can set it so they know what the BSOD is. does that error screen even tell u what's wrong? i know the regular error screen on the mac just says "restart your computer" or something.

Thats the one thing that I don't like about the Windows BSOD. It should really turn off the screen instead of letting it burn-in.

monitor burn-in you mean? that's virtually unheard of today, you could let it stay like that for weeks and it should still be fine on a monitor made in probably earlier than 95. Most screensavers now-a-days aren't even made to prevent monitor burn, just to look pretty.

could it be that i updated the version of apache and php that ships with panther to the latest builds? I also have the developer tools installed so maybe that contributed to that weird screen lol

At school we have a crap load of old monitors that still have that problem.

actually burn-ins can still occur, even in lcd's. I actually went to circuit city and saw some of the display panels with burn-ins. I was horrified, haha, so now when I leave my comp, I turn off both of my LCD's.

This is definately NOT the case. My parents have a 2 year old monitor that has a slight burnin of winxp...the startbar and background. Add that in to the countless number of burnins on campus that lab techs never take care of. All newer monitors. I've never seen a screen saver that was made to just "look pretty".

As far as the KP....it looks almost like the Jaguar and earlier ones.

Yeh dude, i can tell windows not to reboot and hold the BSOD on screen. EGIT!

:D i honestly hope you don't feel special about that. anybody can do that, it doesn't take any reg editing or hex editing... it's a checkbox right there in the system properties.

but the fact is, that windows, on a regular install, sets "auto reboot" to default on.

i think auto restart was invented so that ms could say xp didn't bsod anymore. in fact, it screws up the troubleshooting process, bc instead of being able to write down the error message to troubleshoot, your computer just reboots. now that's ms innovation :rolleyes:

Really ? Have you considered writing a book ? "No Reg or Hex editing" i hear you spout.

Jesus mate, i know where the bloody checkbox is, thanks.

Plasma screens are the worst now, they have a pretty big burn in problem, and yep even liquid crystal when electified long enough holds a charge, which is the cause of LCD burn in

:D i've offended you? oh well, i don't care.

while i write my book on tweaking osx through the terminal, you should write a book on all your uber-hacker-1337 skills with winxp.

Looks like a 10.0 or 10.1 crash... what OS are you using? 10.2 and 10.3 have newer slicker looking ones that try to hide the techno info from most people before they freak out.

Unless this one totally kicked around that and was just too much for it to even display the KP screen.

Sorta like this one? :unsure:

Just curious, what is the little flag in your menu bar?

Also, am I right in reading Darwin Kernal 5.5? What version of OS X is that?
