Cryptic Error Message H

Messages of All Time They're rarely helpful. Actually, they usually add insult to injury. But what would computing be without 'em? Herewith, a tribute to a baker's dozen of the best (or is that worst?). cryptic error oops By Harry McCracken | Thursday, September 18, 2008 at 5:28 am "To err is

right. One of the defining things about computers is that they-or, more specifically, the people who program them-get so many things so very wrong. Hence the need for error messages, which have been around nearly as

long as computers themselves.. In theory, error messages should be painful at worst and boring at best. They tend to be cryptic; they rarely offer an apology even when one is due; they like to provide useless information like hexadecimal numbers and to withhold facts that would be useful, like plain-English explanations of how to right want went wrong. In multiple ways, most of them represent technology at its most irritating. In classic error messages fact, people have an emotional attachment to many of them-like Proust's Madeleine, an error message from a machine out of your past can transport you back in time. That's a big part of why people form clubs to celebrate them, have them tattooed on their person, chronicle them for Wikipedia, and name albums after them. An entire company, the wonderfully-named Errorwear, exists to emblazon the images of such classic errors as the Blue Screen of Death (in four variations!), Guru Meditation, Red Ring of Death, and Sad Mac on T-shirts. And then there's this article-my stab at rounding up the major error messages of the past thirty years or so. I ranked them on a variety of factors, including how many people they bedeviled over the years, their aesthetic appeal or lack thereof, and the likelihood that they were notifying you of a genuine computing disaster. Your rankings probably differ from mine, which is why this story ends with a poll on the last page. Ready? Let's work through the list, starting with number thirteen and working our way up to the greatest error message of 'em all. 13. Abort, Retry, Fail? (MS-DOS) In many ways, it remains an error message to judge other error messages by. It's terse. (Three words.) It's confusing.

I do not even know where to look because there are either no lines given or the line numbers do not make any sense. Here is the error message:Code: Select allXPSPreProcessing.cxx

By Contributor Melonfire | September 8, 2006, neverwinter cryptic error 11:46 AM PST RSS Comments Facebook Linkedin Twitter More Email Print Reddit Delicious Digg Pinterest Stumbleupon Google Plus If you've been working with PHP for any length of time, you probably already know what happens when your PHP script turns out to have an error. Typically, the PHP parser will generate a message on the screen — maybe something like Fatal error: Call to undefined function on line 19 — and immediately stop processing the code. This message will scare your customer, who will immediately start yelling on the phone at you to fix it. If you're really unlucky, this phone call will come at 2.14 AM, just when you've begun dreaming about your next vacation to Aruba... Fortunately, there's a solution. PHP comes with built-in tools to let the developer trap script errors and divert them to their own user-defined error handler. You can then program this handler to display a more informative error message, log the error to a file or database and/or take remedial action. Heck, you can even program the handler to ignore the error

REDUCE for Physicists provides a comprehensive introduction to one of the most widely available and simple to use computer algebra systems, focusing primarily on the needs of physicists. As a means of performing symbolic computation, REDUCE reduces tedious manual algebraic calculations and the dangers of casual errors. Each chapter introduces some aspects of REDUCE and illustrates them with applications from various branches of physics including mechanics, dynamics, dimensional analysis, quantum mechanics, and plasma physics. Emphasizing hands-on work with REDUCE to tackle real physical problems, the book includes exercises to test understanding throughout. Students and researchers in the physical sciences and engineering using REDUCE for the first time will find this book an invaluable aid to learning.
