Pluto is attacked by a Disneyland tourist. Pluto returned with another park employee who talked with the woman, and Pluto left the scene. Everything appeared to be settled peacefully.

Via boingboing. Totally hilarious.

Miguel Carrasco’s Real World: Linux Crash Top 10 Images

Nos. 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 10 do not show any kind of crash. Those are normal messages. Note a couple of them are too blurry to read, so they might even be BSD or even OSX in diagnostics mode.

#1 looks like SVGAlib crashed, implying bad third-party software, but that’s not what a kernel panic (linux itself crashing) looks like.

#3 again, looks like some third-party software crashed. Linux is doing exactly what it ought to, prompting to launch a recovery (”diagnostics”) console

#7 isn’t even Linux. That’s what Windows looks like when it crashes, my friend.

As for those listed at the beginning of this comment…

#9 and #10 are perfectly normal. That’s what DS Linux looks like after a successful boot, and #10 shows LILO saying it successfully loaded the kernel.

# 2, 4, 5, 6 are too blurry to read. They appear to be normal kernel messages during boot. I can’t even confirm whether 5 is Linux.

#7 displays an inability to access the drive it’s configured to access. Either bad configuration - which is user error - or hardware problems, which is not a problem. Either way, it does not show a single fatal error - the picture shows a successful boot.

The bonus crash image looks like some kid was trying to demo his software and it segfaulted. His fault (bad code), not a Linux crash.

About a year late to the lulz, but this is a totally hilarious collection of “linux crash” images. The comic gold is really in the comments, most of which are just like the one above. As I’m currently battling to build a heavily patched 2.6.18 kernel on potentially unstable, poor-selling 2003-era server hardware, I would have some real pictures to share…
