I know it’s a small post, but I just had to call your attention to this post on TechBlog…
How awesome is that? Click the link above for a bigger screenshot and some good info (also a link to some humorous fake error messages). Oh, and for those thinking it’s a fake error message, Microsoft would like to talk to you:
- WSASYSCALLFAILURE
10107- System call failure.
- A system call that should never fail has failed. This is a generic error code, returned under various conditions.
Returned when a system call that should never fail does fail. For example, if a call to WaitForMultipleEvents fails or one of the registry functions fails trying to manipulate the protocol/namespace catalogs.
Returned when a provider does not return SUCCESS and does not provide an extended error code. Can indicate a service provider implementation error.
The truth is funnier than fiction sometimes… it also should act as a lesson to people who write and define error messages.
