Discreet error code for Id:10t!
Posted on 27. Mar, 2010 by admin in Humour, Uncategorized
Tired of the same computer complaints?
Want to make error codes fun?
I was sent an email which had me laughing because it just represents the “have you turned it off and switched it on again” type errors. Or reminded me of the time when it was a video recorder that received the same contempt from the young-uns, but I was a young-un then.
The mail received from my Friend:-
“Hi Sean,
I was having trouble with my computer. So I called Eric, the 11-year-old
next door, whose bedroom looks like Mission Control and asked him to come over.
Eric clicked a couple of buttons and solved the problem.
As he was walking away, I called after him, ‘So, what was wrong? He
replied, ‘It was an ID ten T error.’
I didn’t want to appear stupid, but nonetheless inquired, ‘An, ID ten T
error? What’s that? In case I need to fix it again.’ Eric grinned…. ‘Haven’t you ever heard of an ID ten T
error before?
‘No,’ I replied. ‘Write it down,’ he said, ‘and I think you’ll figure it
out.’
So I wrote down: I D 1 0 T
I used to like Eric, the little b*****d!”
That had me thinking
- whilst rolling around laughing
The Ascii ID10T is converted to
Hexadecimal – 49 44 31 30 54
Binary – 01110101 01101110 01100100 01100101 01100110 01101001 01101110 01100101 01100100
But String Code for this was error = ?
Yet every error code has an ID! So what happens if we take the “ID” away from the string for ID10T and use only 10T?
Result =
Thus it would read – error code id
Quite interestingly if the is placed into the Google search engine it returns nothing, thus no error really exists.
But nevertheless not a symbol one wants on their correspondence.
