ahem
if (system_ok())
crash(to_dos_prompt);
That wouldn’t be a forgotten semicolon, would it?

LMAO 
Since noone else has made comments and 15 people have seen this I guess they did what I did.
Saw a page of code and ignored it.
It was only after going back and actually looking at the code did I get the joke…
[AS]while (sytem_running()){
if (x == random(1,100)){
crash_to_blue_screen;
}
}

no that’s actually right, in c/c++ at least.

**Reported M$DOS error (dont know if this is for real, many ppl make joke errors)
“No keyboard detected, press F8 to continue” **
actually, some BIOSes do say that, not actually DOS.

lol That a genieuss piece of code.

this is how windows would look like in java
import microsoft.trouble.*;
public class win98 {
public static void main (String args) {
for (int i = 0, i <= 0, i=i;) {
break;
}
}
}
would be the simplest code i think ^^
