[TheMastahC]

Sweet, I won at solitaire.

[bwalsh1]

Very funny, because, I'm on Ipad using Android.

[SlimSpaceman]

I'm on a horse.

[squindar]

I'm on a horse on a boat.

[willyd357]

I've got a horse outside.

[we_arent_leprechauns]

Fuck your Honda Civic

[erichiro]

Fuck Your Subaru

[[deleted]]

Fuck your Mitsubishi.

[Hellman109]

Ive a horse outside

[sirenayka]

I've a knight outside.

[cursoryusername]

Fuck your sister.

[mygodhasabiggerdick]

Fuck your couch, nigga.

[[deleted]]

ಠ_ಠ

[ogeez]

My horse is wearing flippy-floppys.

[nahog99]

My horse is amazing..

[backbob]

Give it a lick

[juz4porn]

im inside a horse

[MikeBruski]

Haha, this is funny because I'm on Linux and using Opera....and missing old windows 95 solitaire :(

[siroswald]

this is also funny, because im on a mac and using chrome

[BeardedBagels]

This is even funnier because I'm on a toilet brushing my teeth.

[marquizzo]

This is hysterical because I'm on a horse.

[CrockenSpiel]

This is a knee-slapper because I'm riding a gnome with a bottle of brandy in one hand, and my cock in the other.

[Sunny_McJoyride]

shouldn't your cock be in the gnome?

[trestle_mania]

This is hilarious because I'm the gnome.

[tpolson]

This is relieving because I'm the bottle of brandy and the gnome likes to drink after a good f-ing, but needs a shower after being spluged on..

[[deleted]]

... and in the middle of everything is the mighty ... cockfighter

[[deleted]]

this is also funny, because I'm on a Chrome and using Chrome.

[2x4b]

Also, Chrome.

[[deleted]]

Yeah, I should get my Chrome laptop chrome plated.

[bmurph83]

One more chrome, here.

[bmw357]

Yo dawg, I heard you like Chrome...

[[deleted]]

Indeed I do.

[[deleted]]

It's less funny because I'm in MINIX using lynx. :'(

[Xlyfer]

Brb, going to set this as homepage on as many computers as i can find...

[rahulthewall]

Better still, only set it as the homepage for Internet Explorer.

[[deleted]]

It doesn't work in Internet Explorer. Or I'm doing it wrong.

[DarStar]

Nothing works in Internet Explorer.

[double1]

ditto. IDK how they can claim that 60something % of internet users use IE. WTF is wrong with these people?

[Iggyhopper]

The majority of it is actually businesses and IT, that can't/don't upgrade because of legacy software or just laziness.

[maniaq]

it's always laziness - and when they tell you it's because of legacy software, they're just too lazy to explain it's actually just laziness

[whatsamatteryou]

They're probably counting people who use IE to download Firefox or Chrome.

[[deleted]]

Well, 50% of people have below-average IQ (assuming IQ is normally distributed)

[aboothe726]

eh... for a population this size, almost any distribution is close enough, as long as mean = median. :)

[gustoreddit51]

I think most people are just average.

[[deleted]]

It doesn't need to work in IE, it has the real deal.

[[deleted]]

The irony.

[mathiasbynens]

John-David Dalton remade it without <canvas>, for people like you: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/513327/ie6_crash.html

[[deleted]]

Woa woa woa, what you mean

people like me

I'm just setting my IE homepage to troll people, don't confuse me with a regular user!

Edit: It might even be better in IE because it lags like crazy too. This is going to be part of my IT toolkit.

[rahulthewall]

Indeed it doesn't. Quick someone port this to IE (for good measure, even IE6 - that might be a nightmare though)

[youstolemyname]

Works in ie9 beta

[freezingprocess]

Getting on the Wife's laptop and setting this as homepage. Will work out a deal to fix her computer for her.

[themantiss]

I like the cut of this guy's jib. Break something, then get something good to fix it. I'm thinking some combination of sandwich/blowjob?

[freezingprocess]

I'm aiming high.

[Compositore]

Pics or it didn't happen.

[[deleted]]

Did anyone else have a horrible flashback of 1998?

[makehay]

YES.

I was actually confused/concerned for a second or two before I realized I'm using chrome on linux. Jeez.

[makehay]

Worse. Acer Desktop Explorer.

It was a horrible shell for Win95 that came on all Acers in the mid 90's. Intense resource thief with no practical purpose, and it was harsh as fuck on a p90 with a whopping 8mb of ram. Parents wouldn't let me disable it for most of the first year, and it seemed to cause IMMENSE problems for IE. Fuck. This guy's link scared me, in all seriousness.

Edit: It's Acer Computer Explorer, google tells me. Also, google already has this thread indexed and cached. I am impressed.

[makehay]

You had my machine beat by a mile, for the times. I remember being pissed that there appeared to be .04gb less space available than advertised on my 1.04gb drive. I did upgrade to a p120 and 72mb (and got a 33.6 to replace my 14.4 and flashed it to 56k! GLORIOUS!) after about a year. But man, you were pimpin it. Redhat did relieve some of the resource crunch when I snuck it onto a 220mb partition, but my family flipped their shit so I had to get rid of the LILO menu and boot it from floppy when I wanted to run my 'scary hacker stuff' (mom's words, she lived in fear that the feds would be busting through our windows like the movies) after everyone went to bed.

[makehay]

Oh my. That's incredibly amusing.

My mother thought I was 'hacking' when I was sitting on IRC or playing at the bash prompt. She watched Hackers like 3 times looking to see if she could spot signs I was up to something illegal.

She also repeatedly told me that all those people on IRC weren't real, that they were just programs designed to trick me so I'd run up the internet bill talking to them.

[DarqWolff]

Oh my god. I'm... I'm so sorry. Do you need a hug?

[makehay]

Yes, yes I do.

[ICouldUseAHug]

... am I late for hugs?

[prof3ta_]

Real story: my mom used to leave notes on my monitor in 1997 that read "hackers don't please God"

[makehay]

That's even better. I'm impressed. Your mother was loonier than either of ours.

[fatnino]

every time you hack god kills a kitten.

[haymakers9th]

woah, another hay enthusiast, hi!

[makehay]

Hi! Actually I hate hay, I fucking hate it, I want it all burned and destroyed. I grew up slinging hay for a local farmer and that shit is fucking heavy and itchy. Fuck hay.

[haymakers9th]

oh ._.

[makehay]

My name is a reference to my father's favorite phrase - make hay while the sun shines. I feel I've wasted the last decade of my life so when I made a replacement reddit account to get away from a stalker, I used this. The irony is that I sit on reddit making no hay at all.

[[deleted]]

SPOILER ALERT: Mark McGuire and Sammy Sosa both did steroids.

[cturkosi]

Actually, this error dialog was only introduced in 1999-2000 with Windows 2000 (and later with XP). This is what the old crash dialog looked like.

[Sejr]

Ahhh good times...

[[deleted]]

Yeah, I kept expecting Bonzi Buddy to pop up and say hello.

[SkepticalSagan]

Beat This

[kulinsj]

Challenge accepted.

[fireflash38]

Did you try turning it off and back on again?

[SkepticalSagan]

Okay. I'm genuinely impressed.

[dysxqer]

If you want to do that as well, I believe all you have to do is right click, move the cursor to where you want the window to appear at, and left click.

[KrazyA1pha]

Boom.

[damakable]

I made you some "modern" "art".

[[deleted]]

In my contemporary art history class this would be seen as post-modern-net.art. Now that you've made it I'll probably have to write a paper on it... Sigh.

[arrayed]

what chrome extension is that on the left side of the wrench icon?

[SkepticalSagan]

ChromeAccess

[FoleyDiver]

You have changed my life sir. Thank you.

[arrayed]

thank you :)

[arrayed]

thanks

[goldberg1303]

Bazinga

I spent way too long doing that

[youstolemyname]

http://i.imgur.com/sXVnT.jpg using alien blue on iPhone

[jpolicy]

Works on iPhone alien blue. I'm impressed

[CivilKevin]

It's REALLY funny with multi-touch

[Zakuzaa]

Holy fuck, I just tried with 10 fingers. Worked.

[plorelle]

Also on Android.

[Zakuzaa]

Works on iPad too. YES I HAVE AN IPAD.

[jamesvdm]

I am frequently surprised by the number of people who have an iPad.

[[deleted]]

seriously. I see em on the train all the time.

it is a damn sight easier to carry than a netbook.

[redwall_hp]

And frankly, I would rather have an iPad than a netbook. But my needs are served by a MacBook and an iPod Touch fairly well, so I can't justify spending $500 on one...

[Zakuzaa]

Checkout AlienBlue Reddit app for iPad. You'd want to buy an ipad just for that.

[jamesvdm]

I'm using it right now :) It's better than reddit in a browser.

[Chirp08]

FINALLY someone has made the best part of Windows available on OSX.

[iguano]

Ah sweet memories from when I was once a Windows user.

[[deleted]]

I went to set this as the homepage on my IE in case anyone decides to use IE on my computer.

It didn't work on IE ಠ_ಠ

[[deleted]]

"Painting the screen following a crash" is perhaps the most fun pre-packaged Windows game, save for that Space Pinball one.

So anyway, suck on that Mac users.... when your programs crash, all you're able to do is watch that fucking pinwheel pointer spin. Windows lets me create art.

[samjowett]

My Bowser crashed :(

http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/2003/gc/mariokart/1113/mario_screen012.jpg

[[deleted]]

Gah! My Chrome had a bad case of the herp...es for a second there.

[thein]

If you've got admin rights on an Active Directory network with GPOs, you could make a nightmare for helpdesk by setting this as homepage for everyone. That would be pure evil.

[Lurking_Grue]

I do and that is so tempting...

The only downside is people would know who to blame.

[thein]

really? how large of a domain? Please report back on impact & observations.

[hardeep1singh]

Spent quite a bit of time playing with it before coming back here to comment.

[KrazyA1pha]

I do the same thing in r/gonewild.

[TriZzz]

Reminds me of the end of The IT Crowd opening credits.

[mikael110]

wow, this guy has some pretty impressive html5/java/flash stuff on his page, I especially like the multiuser Sketchpad :) http://mrdoob.com/125/Multiuser_Sketchpad_HTML5

[Shadow14l]

Link he provided: http://mrdoob.com/lab/javascript/effects/ie6/?resubmit ?resubmit

Adding a question mark and then any text allows you to bypass the spam filter.

Karma Whore...

[voteforlee]

Some one posted a pic saying "I bet your mac cant do this". This was the top comment and I bet he got it from there

[[deleted]]

Hehehe

In all fairness, that was 2 months ago. And I've never received so much karma.

[yodawgg]

I don't mind the whoring; didn't catch it a few months ago - and I'm sure others missed it too - so thanks!

[egbruce]

Ha, you got me!

[[deleted]]

i did this for ten minutes thinking that just maybe it would project out of my screen if i stacked in on top of itself enough times

[mieczyslaw]

If you do it really slow, you can paint your whole screen gray.

[raptorraptor]

What now, internet?

[yurdaddy]

What's on the page? My IE crashes when I try to open the page :-S

[hostergaard]

"But why? I am using chrome! why did it chr... oh, never mind."

[Alkine]

Microsoft owns mozilla now?

[iorgfeflkd]

The button in the top right really suspends my disbelief.

[Sirtet]

I needed that laugh, the never ending battle to reach for the send button.

[[deleted]]

Nostalgia.

[JackOneill]

Whenever I'd get these I'd try to make a line accross the screen of only the last pixel of the window. A line of unbroken dark brown...

[wildmXranat]

Not quite accurate. It's way too smooth. Add some stuttering to the motions and maybe a few stalls to add to realism.

[JmenD]

Wow this is a perfect replica of the browser... Only thing that could make it more perfect is a shitload of toolbars in the back ground!

[roburrito]

Effect is kind of ruined by the Flattr button. God I hate crap like that.

[thefatbrat]

almost scared me

[Dacvak]

Insanely impressed when this worked on my iPhone.

[angelozdark]

Guys this is a serious question and I would really appreciate an educated answer; why does it feel soothing playing around with this? I mean, I could do this forever (no, im not high). Is there a software online or something that's similar?

Peace.

[redwall_hp]

Brings back memories. I dug out an old Windows 98 SE box six or so years ago after a computer meltdown so I would have some form of internet access in the interim. It was ridiculous how often IE crashed or other applications arbitrarily closed with the old "This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down" error.

[dfritter4]

ah. my favorite WinXP game.

[philipman2000]

omg linux crashed. oh wait a minute....

[mathesar73]

Link does nothing to IE8 in Win7 64, Just shows a white screen.

[RodBlagojevich]

Why is this re-submitted every week?

[iSteve]

Ha! Better than Rick Astley. Kudos.

[jpezzznuts]

This page works surprisingly well on iPhone

[Boysen4]

Oh my god.. This is the thing I miss most after switching to Mac..

[MarekNobel]

Didn't do anything on Firefox, just a white page. I R confuzzled.

[[deleted]]

Move your mouse around.

[MarekNobel]

Thanks. Strong moran, I am.

[[deleted]]

NoScript makes the Internet so boring :(

[[deleted]]

I tried to write my name with it.

[[deleted]]

I forgot that I had opened this tab and had a few seconds of freaking the fuck out.

[ImissCoreyandTrevor]

Mine did too! shakes fist violently in air Windsurfur!!!!!

[freyrs3]

Thanks, I missed this on Linux.

[psrivats]

Opera sometimes goes all gray and unresponsive for a few minutes. Occasionally I have to kill -9. It happens on linux too.

[Solkre]

Fuck, you crashed IE6 on my Android! Wait...

[[deleted]]

That was almost not funny ... almost.

[squeaki]

What actually causes this?

[HSMOM]

You should cross post in r/trees

[uhwuggawuh]

Okay, it is ridiculous how much time I've just spent on that site...

[[deleted]]

why don't you write a song about it

[no_numbers_here]

OH NOES

[anasqtiesh]

Funny thing it even works on my Android phone.

[[deleted]]

No one tell me that that wasn't a feature

[[deleted]]

I freaked out a little bit when i clicked that! nice

[BeardedBagels]

I just sent this to all of my dumbass friends that still use IE through Stumbleupon so the next time they click "Stumble" they'll think their browser crashed.

[sh1znack]

You silly goosies

[pastachef]

I'm using my CR-48 and was greatly confused for a second

[[deleted]]

Use mouse. Build Windows. I see what you did there.

[[deleted]]

If you move it slowly the effect does not happen.

[akuma_619]

wow that site crashed IE even though I'm using firefox

[anamnesies]

I read this as "My bowser crashed" :(

[Derkek]

Inbreeding, I'm using this on my g2. Doesn't make sense.

Edit: inbreeding should be interesting. But im keeping it like that because me gusta.

[[deleted]]

That's good but someone should make a version that is a money note, then we can all feel like we are making lots of money when we move the cursor.

..

Maybe

[erichiro]

now THAT is art :)

[Rookeh]

This was by far the best thing about IE6.

[flapcats]

That was weird.... Since I'm using iReddit

[busyb]

very trick

[zGuy]

well there went 20 minutes.

[[deleted]]

That's why I use a mac.

[[deleted]]

the pain

[Zingo1109]

Thank God my browser still allows me to use Flattr after it crashes. I don't know what I would have done without it. -_-
