Inaccurate error messages remind me of my first winter in Alaska last year where when the temperature late one night when I was returning from a late night movie show, was in its sub zeros, I still recall it was about -12 or -15 Fahrenheit (close to -24 to -26 Celsius) and in a hurry to get into a store before it closed not knowing if it was open beyond 1:00 AM, I left my cell phone behind in my car was sort of already a wee bit heated up, got in the store and I may have left the store in under 15 minutes with some water and stuff..
This is what my phone screen read when I tried to use it to get back to my hotel. It had almost frozen in the car. My first thoughts were maybe some of the Apple developers are Eskimos where they thought -12 F was warm so they thought their devices need to 'cool down'! My second thought was lazy freaking developers - could not account for 2 separate error messages for both sides of the extremes... What I really should have thought of is putting it in the freezer after returning to the hotel so it can cool down!

The humour comes from the 7.6.04 Error Messages Guide: 123 Unrecognized server information tag. Error You specified a code for server information that was not recognized. Verify that the #define statements in the include file ar.h have a list of all valid codes that can be specified. Yup. Verified. The 8.1 ar.h does not have a list of valid codes :-) Ben Chernys Senior Software Architect logoSthInc-sm Canada / Deutschland Mobile: +49 171 380 2329 GMT + 1 + [ DST ] Email: ben.cher...@softwaretoolhouse.com Web: <http://www.softwaretoolhouse.com/> www.softwaretoolhouse.com We are a BMC Technology Alliance Partner.
