I keep getting BSODs on my linux machine, every 20 minutes if I don't
touch it, that is my screensaver.

Nevermind
</emily litella>

what screensaver is that?

I had a bsod on my NT 5 machine for awhile but moved on to something else.
I've got some boring on on my NT 6 machine now.

Myself am noticing that many of those common WSOD programs are now start
hanging permantly and won't shut down till a restart.

I've found so many times that if I just wait 5 minutes it comes good, I
actually cackled the first time I saw it, what a way to get people to
just hands off for a second while the computer does something, reminds
me of SpeedScreen - the citrix technology that makes the egg timer
pop-up etc to give the impression your computer is doing something so
you'll just hands-on-head for a sec and stop quintupple clicking like a
crazed man.

Be glad its just an individual program and not the whole operating
system, which was in XP below, was incredibly troublesome.

Well at least now it just freezes the program and not the whole freaking
OS.

I really wonder about dumbfucks like yourself...I mean half the time
when you THINK the OS has crashed...it hasn't...it's just explorer
that's locked up, in which case just drop to the task manager, kill it
off and then reload it directly from the task manager...easy breezy.
Hell half the time I don't even bother running the explorer shell, not
when I can simply run programs from the task manager.
