Kernelhackers can understand it. I guess, they made it in a way to get all relevant info. There used to be an ascii-Art kernelpanic as well, but I can not find it.

(this picture was from the BSOD screensaver, BTW)

wow it's really hard to read those professional words>_<
i guess maybe i should by a new dictionary:P

Naturally the stuff on the Kernel Panic screen is just code,... leftovers from the UNIX (NeXTStep/Darwin) base that OSX is built on, I'm sure.  ^^

As for the rest

Unix = old but very successful operating system from the 60's that pioneered many of the features we use in today's OSes.  Has more descendants than there are non-UNIX OSes like Windows.  ^^;

Guru Meditation = error screen from the old Amiga operating system.  ^__

Kernelhackers = anyone who can access, understand, and modify the code of the Operating Systems kernel (the code that tells it how to run).

ascii-Art = ascii is the text you see in the Kernel Panic screen above, so ascii art is just a picture made from that text.  In the old days of typewriters, some people had enough skills to create beautiful works of art just by creating images with type letters.  Same thing here. -v-

BSOD = "Blue Screen of Death"  The famous Windows death screen that everyone loves to hate.  ^__^

As for your string of Japanese in your signature, I'm gonna guess it means something like:

"That bird can't fly now, but will soar one day!"  ^__^

Well, um, wow! I haven't seen that type of kernel panic before...
Though it sorta follows the typical OS X 10.0 to 10.1.5 Death Screens...

OS X 10.2 till now are much simpler, just a box in the middle of the screen.





What version were you running, Kami-tux-san?

C-Chan

[dreamily]  Aaaaaaaah yes......  That's more like it.  ^___^
I knew the OSX girls wouldn't let me down, what with their fine choice in aesthetics.  -v-

*amorous sigh*

Kami-Tux said she got it from the BSOD screensaver, so I betcha it's probably from an old Darwin beta.  

Speaking of which,...  Pop Quiz time....  -v-

C-CHAN CHECK!!!

I'm offering 500,000 C-chan points to whoever brings me an old Guru Meditation screen.  ^___^

Hehehe I suppose this doesn't qualify as an "Old" system, now does it?

thanks a lot for explain those words to me and the signature is actually a sentence in the lyric of tori no uta (birds' song?), and it's the theme song of AIR^ ^ but anyway, u got the meaning of it^o^

C-Chan

QuoteHehehe I suppose this doesn't qualify as an "Old" system, now does it?

Nope,... but kudos anyway for making me envision the prospect of an Amiga laptop.  ^___^

Methinks I should ask the Amiga gurus (Raffaele-san and AmigaBob) whether such a thing may have existed at some point.  ^^'

Aaah, I see now.  ^__^
That reminds me, I do have to watch that series still (AIR).  ^v^

Guru... meditation? O_o

BSOD has nothing on that error line XD

"There's no school like old school"!  ^___^

But in fairness, there ARE much older death screens than even Amiga-san's Meditation.  ^v^

If Kami-Tux' screensaver is the one I think it is, she probably has the Apple ][ death screens available as well.  ^.^

Lovee

oh i like that anime very much and i think it's really a good anime as well as kanon

and i didn't notice that the mark on the power button of a mac is just like a bomb really until today -v-

It is the one, you think!

I just checked the documentation and found this gem:

It is just a photo of a laptop running Amiga emulator, guy...  ;011

And the very secret desire of any Amigan to run their OS native on a laptop.

Unfortunately ancient Commodore never produced Amiga Chip Set in a mobile version, so an Amiga laptop never took place.  ;014  ;066

Here are mac Bombs

And I found also Atari ST row of Bombs...

And there comes other funny interesting Amiga facts:


Amiga animated mouse pointer sleeps while loading from disk or Hard-disk.

(if a block occourred during this operation, maybe due to an "out-of-available-memory error", the mouse pointer will freeze in this aspect)

Amiga "Insert any bootable Disk" starting screen 2.0 and 3.0

Amiga Boing Ball Demo:



Unfortunately you can't see it animated and playing a gentle "boing" ping sound when it collides with border walls.

[Edit]

Wow! At least I found an animgif of it...



[Edit End]


Lorraine the Amiga prototype...

A bunch of boards connected together emulating chipset of Amiga which was still not in solid silicon and reduced at chip-size...


WOW! Moving entire screens with Mouse:




And here comes a little gift for you all:

A fabulous site which preserve many of the Amiga Demos:

http://ada.untergrund.net/

Did you ever heard of demoscene? There were sort of videoclips showing the capabilites of programmers who fight each other to demonstrate who was the best.

See here an anim file showing how much powerful was a 7MHz clocked Amiga 500 with OCS: Old Chip Set (only 4096 colors).

State of the Art demo by Spaceballs group:

Here should be an .avi version of it (warn: 20 Megabytes of weight)

Very famous Amiga Juggler Demo.

http://www.randelshofer.ch/animations/anims/various_artists/jugglerVE.html

If Amiga boing ball was a false 3D and in the real it was just a sprite colliding with virtual walls, but with stereo audio effects...

Then the juggler was one of the first 3D demo of ray tracing rendering with MONO music collisions on a personal computer in 1986 .

It took various days for modeling and tracying but the resulting anim it is in real time by Amiga at 7MHz OCS old chip set (only 4096 colors).

Initially people believe it was an hoax.

Movie in .avi format here:

Then Amiga 3D modelers and raytracers evolved so far:
