Response to: error message that could drive you nuts
yeah, I would prefer if it would go like: # export ERROR_MESSAGES=abusive # ./somefile you stupid idiot, I cannot find the interpreter given on the first line, so edit me and correct that before you try to execute me! #

Showing messages 1 through 2 of 2.

  I like the error message I get when I try to save an image in Gimp as html:
  
  "Are you crazy? You are about to create a huge HTML file which will most likely crash your browser!"
  
  Now THAT'S a good error message...LOL

  The best one is when you execute xchat as root.
