I can just imagine the average Mac user tapping the paper with their finger repeatedly and then still saying their system is better.

The overflow point might be 100,000,000 - as per old 8-digit calculators, lacking scientific notation, which just displayed 'Error' at you when numbers contained more digits than they could display. "Int" could easily mean "internal" rather than "integer".
So that's still over $6 million or £3 million.

1. Surely no one will ever need more than 640K czech crowns.
2. You sure it isn't a haunted house called "In Terror"?
3. More jokes like this
4. ...
5. Profit!

The display has 8 digit spaces, so it should be able to display a 24-bit (or even a 26-bit) integer, right? Or does the "Int" stand for "Internal" Error?

I want to know what happens when you type in "FileNotFound" into that confirm box.

Does it come back with a cryptic message about Paula?

The secret of eternal life?

A clever haiku?

... probably it just crashes, but it's worth finding out.

Unfortunately it's in Zimbabwe dollars.

Would be interesting to see the validation code for that confirmation box. What happens when you type "Yes" and hit Cancel?

These are all pretty good. Possible reason is Success

{@SomeNameGoesHere} is how Crystal Reports refers to functions defined within the .RPT file. I have to assume that some moron typed that into a text box, rather than actually inserting a reference to the function.

#2 reminds me of my first computer a Tandy 286. Whenever I shut down though the command prompt it would as me "Do you want to quit?" and as long as the first charater was a 'y' I could saythings like. "Yes Shut down you old ass piece of shit" or "Yea baby yea!"

No, the mac user will click once and expect it to work.

The Windows user will repeatedly click, but they will expect it NOT to work.

Linux users will click once and expect to be told what they need to install to get it to work.

It's what the system trains you for ...

slighty off-topic, but the automated phone payment system for my old ISP never seemed to understand the word 'yes' when I wanted to confirm my payment. It did however accept pretty much anything else I said, like Yo, hell yeah, fo' shizzle.

No. Most slashdotters talk about Linux all the time, but don't actually use it or know what they are talking about.

But since most of them run Windows, I can't imaging a Beowulf cluster of them either.

If the developers had any decent sense of humor, it might stand for "Interesting" Error.

Yes, it will. APPARENTLY it will just crash, but what it means (and what you couldn't possibly know) is that you would need to buy an E10K (see Out of Balance) to compute the new and improved question.

Why does the size of the display have to have anything to do with what kind of numbers the system is handling?

My screen has 4800 sub-pixels by 1200 pixels. Therefore, assuming a character takes up a 5x5 area, it should be able to handle numbers with 230400 digits natively.
The windows calculator won't even calculate numbers that large. 10^230400 = "invalid input for function"

The first rule you'll need to learn in the business world:
What would seem to make sense is meaningless to PHBs.
