Not exactly the message I'd expect from 1,000+ software ... but hey. (from Mike Hoye)

Wow.
I just took a look at their website, and, they must be awefully proud
of their product. $1195 for Windows version $2595 for Unix version.
Heh. I'm not sure I could bring myself to answer yes to that dialog. But I certainly could bring myself to ask for a refund.

any particular -reason- that's such a big issue for it or just lazyness?

Yes, there is a reason. Their code can't handle large lists.. :) ... Which is scary, but, hey!
-
What's this software supposed to do anyway? Win a snail-race?

Either some developer put that in while testing and it never got taken out, or that's a shocingly bad error. lol
Not only that, there's also an errant, comma, in, there, too.

Should have placed the Fear Factor logo instead of the question mark.....

After having written my own database manager (like sql enterprise manager, but fewer functions and much quicker when talking to an MSDE), I understand this message.
He means that it might look like the program isn't responding, but actually it's getting and parsing the data. Perhaps a new thread with a progress bar would help...

ArcView GIS, huh? What version # are you running?

We should start a thread for Funniest Test Data you forgot to take out before production.
I think the one that takes the cake is the large non-profit
organization that sent out a few thousand letters to their biggest
donors, each of them with the courteous salutation, "Dear Rich
Bastard:".
There's no substitute for courtesy. According to the story, the
programmer was sacked. I figured, if true, quite a few other
people ought to have been.

While writng our pricing tool for our nationwide sales representatives, a discussion came up where the programmers asked, what if the user does this, then that, then does this. Our boss said "You'd have to be a real dumba** to do that." So they jokingly put code in that if the user did those steps, and error message would pop up
"You can't do that, dumba**"
Well, then they forgot about it... then my boss got a call from a rep who (thankfully) was cracking up laughing. He had evidently tripped the error. They had to realease a critical update immediately (This was before anyone was doing web-based software updates).
