    This is fantastic! I haven't seen a BSOD in years (no Vista for me), but what's funny is that it's actually microsoft that's distributing it. Along the same lines: you take a screenshot of your desktop environment with the terminal open in the middle of the screen. Then use that as your bootsplash image. When friends and enemies ask how you did that you just tell them "I reversed the boot process: first I load KDE, then the kernel. It's a lot faster this way."

    I used to have that as my screensaver. It's been around for quite a while; I think there were several different implementations. It really fooled a lot of folks at the office who would approach me in the morning with serious expressions and say something like "something happened to your machine overnight... it keeps rebooting and blue-screening.

  As a teenager I learned to program in Win 98 days. I wrote a program that faked the "this program has performed an illegal operation" dialog every few fours and put it on my dad's computer. His programs never crashed but he thought there was something very wrong with his computer. Drove him nuts for a few days. :)
