Epic Fails
-
Accidentally muting a mod on a different site, lost my modship for that XD
Another was a rocket launch gone wrong...it was almost like Challenger, but came down like Columbia!
Last one was pressing the print button on a document like a million times, ended up wasting a quarter stack of paper...found out why it wasn't printing because of me not checking the correct printer. -
Ok, back on topic.
For those that know about C, I was working on some robot code and was trying to compile and got an error I couldn't understand (no suprise, I was very tired). I went back, saw some obvious errors, and compiled again. Same error, the other ones that I understood were gone and I just couldn't figure out this last error. So I asked a friend to look at it and he promptly pointed out that I was trying to compile a library. -
Our Chemistry teacher was telling us a story about how:
Johnny was a stupid Chemist
And Johnny is no more,
Because what Johnny thought was H2O
Was really H2SO4
and we all had water bottles, and my friend messed up the experiment with 12 molar Sulfuric Acid, he dropped it on the floor, what someone thought was H2O was really H2SO4, and burned up a smoke storm from the burning mop of the sulfuric acid and then the mop was no more -
not my epic fail but my coworkers:
opened virtual box in ubuntu 7.04, installed ubuntu 8.04 in a virtual machine wanting to see for himself what the effects would be if he gave the command: sudo rm -rf *
however he typed the command in the ubuntu 7.04 host by accident. and watched his system slowly die.
it took him 3 hours(he had a very slow drive at the time) to notice he was not using his vm anymore

I started a RTS game project with OGRE and I've got the little sample app sitting there. I've imported all the code got Visual Studio setup and I hit the compile button. It can't seem to find string (As in the file from STL). I have a look about and figure well perhaps they didn't ship VS2010 with STL (Don't know where I got this idea from, probably some article I read or something)? So I download SGIs version of STL and compile. Now it can't find some other file. I decide to switch the platform toolset over to using WinSDK7, which requires a download. Didn't work. So I decide to install VS2008's C++ Runtime and Libraries hoping it will install STL and everything will be fine. Still didn't work.
A couple hours later I found the problem.
A little check-box in the project settings asking if I wanted to import the default file include locations, it was unticked. -
