    DbArtisan really tried to tell me it was dying...

    Yet another useful dialog - it crashed hard about 30 seconds later.

    Well, then I think it is useful, right? The dialog says "be sure to save your work within 30 seconds before I crash!"  You just have to learn it the hard way a few times. :)

    It just decided to die quitely.  Knowing it had lived a full life.  There was possibly initial shock when it realized it would die but there were no need for dying words...

    My method of measuring code quality is to ask myself if I would rather have herpes or maintain the code in question. In this case I would choose death by herpes. --akatherder

    My dad chased him off with a shotgun, which apparently pissed this guy off so much he felt the need to strip naked, sit in the middle of his front yard, and chop up live kittens with a machete to feed to his pet boa.

    Unlikely.  What really happened is a Navy SEAL snuck up behind it and drew a knife across its throat, severing its vocal cords so all that could be heard was wheezy gasps for air and the rhythmic sound of blood spurting against the foliage.

    and what exactly was so derserving of assination by a navy seal?  What if the OP was actually the root cause?  was it's death pointless then?  or just part of a bigger plan to assinate the OP?

    The seals needed to get close enough to the OP to paint the target with lasers so the bombers know where to strike. I think the lasers are chartreuse, for what it's worth.

    Yes but what has the op done to make themselves the target of a elite tactical assault team?

    How did you come to that conclusion? Should I have put <sarcasm> tags around my post?
