Amusing Bugs and Error Messages

<div class="IPBDescription">have any?</div>Today I went to install MSSQL Express on a Windows XP Machine and a pop up saying:
<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->Name: SQLEXPR32.EXE
Publisher: Microsoft Corporation
Type: Application
From: BLAHBLAHBLAH

While files from the internet can be useful, this type of file can
potentially harm your computer. Only run software from publishers
you trust.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I was very tempted to click "No" but that would have simply wasted a few seconds. It made me chuckle though. Any other popups or error messages that made you chuckle recently?

These two make me laugh, although I doubt the second one is real. Or the first. Either way, they make me laugh.

There's lots of fun to be had with dev responses to bug reports!

One of my favourites was when it was bugged that a multiplayer mode incorrectly awarded both players with a loss if they drew. The only problem was that to draw a game both players had to do exactly nothing in the game until the time limit ran out.

The developers response was something along the lines of:
'You have found one of the only ways to achieve a draw in the game. If two players actually do this in the game, then they deserve to lose. Will not fix.'

Nossah

I have one in NS ingame actually =P

What am I missing?

If it's about some indicators not showing up, I don't think sprites do in screenshots.
