  • April Insanity

    I must be getting all the April 'fools' in a day early, because here is a little sample of the craziness I've had to deal with just today:

    Me: Guess Who
    SC: Well, guess who


    First Call of the Day:

    Me: Thank you for calling Satan's Software Company, how may I assist you?

    SC: HOW DARE YOU ACCUSE ME OF BREAKING THE LAW???

    Me: ...ah, what? Ma'am, I just said thank you for calling and asked...

    SC: YOUR SOFTWARE SAYS I BROKE THE LAW!!!

    Me: (thinking she's seen a piracy warning that comes up for some people who unwisely bought pirated software off of Ebay): Ah, I apologize for any confusion, ma'am, we certainly don't mean it to sound like we are accusing you of anything. Could you read the exact message you are seeing?

    SC: "Explorer has performed an illegal operation...

    Me; *sound of head hitting desk, followed by 10 minutes of 'thats not what that means'*


    **************************


    Third call of the day:

    Me: Thank you for calling Satan's Software Company, how may I assist you?

    SC: The controller I just bought doesnt work! I want my money back!!

    Me: I can certainly help you get that arranged, sir. Could you tell me what controller you purchased? If you dont know, there is a sticker on the bottom that lists the actual title of the item...

    SC: Playstation 3...uh...Sixaxis...uh...

    Me: Err...sir, did you say this is for a Playstation 3?

    SC: Yeah

    Me: And you do know that the Playstation is produced by Sony?

    SC: Uh...yeah?

    Me: And you know you called Microsoft?

    SC: Yeah. Aren't you guys all the same?

    Me: ....

    I'm losing the rest of my brain cells. Really, I am.

          Oh wow. I like that one.

          I get that a fair bit. I show someone a gamecube game and they ask if it will work on a 360 or a PS2/3.

              We once had someone hand in their PC at the local Police station after that error message. Apparently they'd been browsing a few 'racy' sites the day before and thought their PC had shopped them

                  "Illegal Operation" means that the program tried to do something it is not allowed to do by either the operating system, or more often in this particular case, the programming language and/or code.

                  So in the code lets say I try to run the function addTwoPositiveIntegers(x, y) where x and y MUST be positive integers. But for some reason I try to call the function where x=2 and y = -8. Y cannot be less than 0 so it's an illegal operation, and the error is produced. Other times, the operating system might notice that the program is trying to do something it shouldn't be doing, maybe trying to read memory that doesn't belong to the program, and the error is produced to protect sane operation.
