Anyone got any 'better' dialog box messages?
Error


No description. No error number to look up, not even a confirmation button.
I vaguely remember I once got an empty dialog with nothing, not even a title, just an OK button. Honestly I don't even remember on which OS it happened.
If you try to open a project in the software I use and you're missing a plugin that the project uses, it gives you a retry and cancel dialog with a list of the missing plugins, and if you click cancel it says "Failed to load project" followed by "An unknown error has occurred". Apparently this is the intended behavior, despite it knowing that A. the error was that it failed to load the document and B. it failed because the plugins weren't installed.

In the same mentioned software, if you close the animation editor via Cancel after making changes, it used to just lose all your changes without warning, but now they have a dialog "Are you sure you want to cancel the changes? [Yes] [No]" and, since it looks similar to the "Do you want to save your changes" dialog, most people click "Yes" and lose all their work anyway.

When you update to a newer version of FTB on Minecraft and try to open a world saved in a previous version, you just get a big blank screen with a "Yes" and "No" at the bottom half way off the bottom of the game window. You have to click "Yes" to load the world.

Whenever I log on to one of the school computers I use, a dialog box comes up saying "Error loading: variable must be of type object" and it seems completely unrelated to any software I use on it.

Also on those school computers, sometimes hey run out of memory (they're old XPs) and thus the dialogs can only show you one control at a time - if you hover over a control it shows up, if you hover over another the previous one stops being drawn and the new one gets drawn. Unfortunately since text isn't a control you cannot see the text of the dialog.
If I start my computer with the keyboard unplugged I get this:
"keyboard error, press F1 to continue"
If I start my computer with the keyboard unplugged I get this:
Just kidding, it starts up normally and I have to plug in my USB keyboard to type in my password and log in.

Not that there's anything wrong / or that I have any idea what this mysterious statements mean. Everything work as expected. The program just want to tell me something...

  Help!

Please, get me out of here!

I would leave the prisoner, I don't think they would enjoy being destructed and marked as unused.

you can imagine what sort of loop this becomes. I cant remember what it was from, but I had to kill the process.
Make sure you don't lose your pointer to the prisoner, otherwise you'll cause a prison leak.
