Since this has been necro'd again, I thought I'd share this little tidbit.
There was a little study, which basically concluded that people were happier with more "polite" error messages versus the "informative" ones (IE The ones that say "Blah blah computer junk you probably don't know").
Was that the study conducted by Apple ?

I'm sorry but the greatest error message was already made back in the 80's. It was infact...

In case of the forum, I would actually have expected this message instead:
"WE'RE SORRY, NOTHING HAPPENED".

Saddly we may truly be at the end of an era. So let us have one last laugh at this thread before it is officially dead due to the release of Trinity: Originally by: Patch Notes

Although it would be nice to tell me what actually went wrong, rather than saying
"Tell a Programmer to UP_VERTEX_BUFFER"
What am I going to do, walk up to some whiz kid and say "Hey... up underscore vertex underscore buffer?" and hopefully expect a useful reply. And I'm serious, one game I have that crashes constantly tells me to tell a programmer to up vertex buffer or something similar.

This is a great story and all things considered it really deserves a Sticky because it is a timeless classic.

There is one error message I would actually like to see very much...
(in large, friendly letters...)
DONT PANIC

Great Post! I am still chuckling. You are a very witty person, Bravo!
I feel your pain I too am a programmer tasked with supporting the systems I did write and plenty of those I didnÆt. I have always been a fan of straight forward error messages in my code, however most of the time it is frowned upon by the company and they insist I remove them. When I was in school (many years ago) I used to be very creative with error messaging much to chagrin of my professors, they were not amused. Here are a few examples of my rude message file.
Error Message: æYes this is an error but you are an idiot. How the heck did you mange to produce this error.Æ
Error Message: æIf you would just follow direction you would have never ended up here in the first place.Æ
When trying to access a secured function in the software without the proper security.
Error Message: æDonÆt not display you ignorance by messing with things you do not understandÆ.
After repeatedly (usually 3 times) receiving the same edit error on a date. The messages were progressive.
æInvalid Date, Please Enter a Valid DateÆ
æStill Invalid, Please enter a Valid DateÆ
æOK what part of Invalid Date donÆt you understand? Enter a Valid DateÆ,
æYou are too Dumb to use my software, have a Nice DayÆ at which time they were booted to the dos prompt (I told you this was a long time ago).
Free your Mind!
Acknowledge and Move On!

This is exactly like Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy by Douglas Adams and i love it. Very well written and it totally fits the current EVE situation. Thank you for this comic relief.

Thank you to whoever raised this thread from the dead. Necromancy is usually a bad thing, but in this case, I deeply thank the necromancers. The OP is distilled genius.

Good for a laugh, but you've been drawn into the lazy programmer trap too. Even if you aren't one.
Ok only dialogs are the worst, laziest, UI action that a program can possibly take.
It steals focus from the user, and forces the user to take an action that doesn't result in the software doing anything but getting out of their way. And it shouldn't have been IN their way in the first place.
IMHO, the ability to create OK only dialogs should be removed from Windows, X, Javascript, Java, .NET, and VBA.
Sorry for the tangential rant, but I'm sick and tired of seeing people continue to use those abhorrent crutches instead of a real notification system.
