I know this will come as a surprise to absolutely everyone, but my winio tablet crashed, today.

It's only about the three-hundredth time it's crashed, in the few months I've had it, but this time it actually gave me an error code: 0x80070008.

"Wow!" thought I, "if they're finally going to the trouble of giving me something to look up, I guess I'd gosh-darned better look it up!"

So guess what I did.


Yup. I had dinner.

Later, I decided to google-with-yahoo the error code.

Apparently it's an "insufficient storage space" error, which I found somewhat surprising, given that there's tens of gig free space, and all I was doing when I got the error was logging in from a cold boot.

So I googled-with-yahoo further, finding a site named wikifixes, which sounds all very collaborative and nicey, that told me...

... Actually, it told me things completely different from what the ms MVP (Most Vainglorious Pillock) page had said.

Intrigued to the point of just-barely-incomplete ennui, I permitted my gaze to rest on the address bar.

It read: http://wikifixes.com/errors/b/0x/0x80070008/

That sounded perfectly reasonable, thought I -- but then I thought: "What if I change the final 8 to a 3?" (because 0x80070003 was another number that had shown up in my initial search results).

Lo and behold, it worked! It gave me information that was---

... Word-for-word verbatim (numbers notwithstanding, obviously) of the information given for 0x80070008.

Not only that, but it did exactly the same for any number!

In fact, not just numbers:
http://wikifixes.com/errors/b/0x/0xTheSiteOwnerisaLyingSh1thead/[^]

Click it, do!
The site is harmless (unless you click through to any generous offers of succour -- in which case, what the Hell are you doing on CP?), but I think it would be nice for the lying sh1thead to see in his logs that lots of people know that he's a lying sh1thead.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!
