“If we could assemble all the antimatter we’ve ever made at CERN and annihilate it with matter, we would have enough energy to light a single electric light bulb for a few minutes.”

IBM Remote Insight Board (RSA) causing Windows XP to blue screen (BSOD) when attempting to remote control a system.

IBM Remote Insight Board (RSA) causing Windows XP to blue screen (BSOD) when attempting to remote control a system.

Was getting a BAD_POOL_HEADER error, with stop code: 0×00000019 & 0×1A020001 almost every time I tried a remote control session.

That error code seems to be device driver related according to my research, but what device drivers are involved in a Java application in Internet Explorer?

The solution was to remove the SD card from the card reader in my laptop!

My guess is that the part of the remote control that allows you to map a local drive or file to be mounted by the remote system was causing a crash when it saw the SD card while going through my local drives to find suitable devices for the local drive list.

When the prosperous man on a dark but starlit night drives comfortably in his carriage and has the lanterns lighted, aye, then he is safe, he fears no difficulty, he carries his light with him and it is not dark close around him; but precisely because he has the lanterns lighted, and has a strong light close to him, precisely for this reason he cannot see the stars, for his lights obscure the starts, which the poor peasant driving without the lights can see gloriously in the dark but starry night. So those deceived ones live in the temporal existence: either, occupied with the necessities of life, they are too busy to avail themselves of the view, or in the prosperity and good days they have—as it were lanterns lighted and close about them—everything is so satisfactory, so pleasant, so comfortable, but the view is lacking, the prospect, the view of the stars.

Gabriel Marcel speaks of “availability” as a “being who is ready for
anything, the opposite of him who is occupied or cluttered up with himself.”
