lol if you had a debugger attached to a PC while running word 1.0 or multiplan it would do this turns out it didn't actually erase the disk, but it performed an infinite loop of zero seeks that made the floppy drive sound like it was going nuclear. apparently they took it out in '85 because pc clones were triggering it and damaging their drives.

Blackula69 posted:could someone who is actually smart about computers read this interesting thing about windows 3.1 and tell me what it means whatever windows 3.1 application has focus owns a sort of synchronization token of which there is one system-wide copy. no thread can block whatever owns the token so even if an application is "hung" it's trying to make progress on whatever it's doing. every time the windows scheduler had the token, it set a magic register to 1. every time it lost focus, it set the magic register to 0. this allows the ctrl+alt+delete handler to know if something's hung or not. when you ctrl+alt+delete, the ctrl+alt+delete handler checks if the running program is an MS-DOS program. if so, it terminates it immediately. if it is a windows program, the ctrl+alt+delete handler sets the magic register to 0, tells the scheduler to inform it when it is available, and waits. if the ctrl+alt+delete handler was never contacted by the system, then a device driver is hung and it pops up a blue screen saying that will give focus to whatever owns the token when you press a key so you can respond to it. if it was contacted and the magic register is 1, then the token is being passed around properly. nothing is technically hung and it'll pop up a blue screen saying that no application is hung, go gently caress yourself. if it was contacted but the magic register is 0, then a windows application is hung and won't relinquish control to the windows kernel. it told device drivers to finish up their current tasks, waited about 3 seconds, and popped up a blue screen saying the system is busy or unstable. finally, if no device driver is trying to accomplish a task, then it pops up a blue screen saying a specific program is hung. if you tell it to exit, it just waits for the CPU to be executing that program, and will trigger a DOS interrupt for the running program to immediately terminate.

Mr Dog posted:wish ballmer had retired to pro wrestling or something instead He put hard times on Steve Ballmer and his family. You don’t know what hard times are, daddy. Hard times are when the IT consultants around this country are out of work, they got 4 or 5 kids and can’t pay their wages, can’t buy their food. Hard times are when the Microsoft store guys are out of work and they tell ‘em to go home. And hard times are when a man has worked at a job for thirty years, thirty years, and they give him a watch, kick him in the butt and say “hey an iPad took your place, daddy”, that’s hard times! That’s hard times!
