	Crash (computing) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A crash in computing is a condition where a program (either an application or part of the operating system) stops performing its expected function and also stops responding to other parts of the system.
		Many crashes are the result of the execution of a single machine instruction, but the causes of this are manifold.
		The art of debugging such crashes is connecting the actual cause of the crash (easily determined) with the code that set off the chain of events.

		The sheer number of computer devices is forecasted to rise at a compound rate of 38 percent a year; most of these devices will be connected to one another other and to the Internet.
		At U.C. Berkeley, the buzzword is "recovery-oriented computing," or ROC (as in "solid as a").

		When you're facing a computer screen, few experiences are as sickening as seeing that screen go blank without warning right in the middle of a perfectly good brainstorm.
		If a crash is unfixable, however, a good utility often can stall the crash long enough to let you save your work and escape from the application unharmed.
		Impending crashes are intercepted by a dialog box that, in most cases, lets you recover or quit a doomed application.

	Daring Fireball: Smart Crash Reports
		So: crash logs are an incredibly helpful debugging aid for developers, but, because Mac OS X’s built-in Crash Reporter only sends them to Apple, developers don’t get to see nearly as many of the crash logs from their software as they would like.
		So: Smart Crash Reports is a free solution from Unsanity, which attempts to modify Apple’s Crash Reporter app in as minimally invasive a way as possible so that when an SCR-aware app crashes, Crash Reporter will send the crash report both to Apple and to the developer of the software involved with the crash.
		The architecture of Smart Crash Reports is such that it leads to a chicken-and-egg problem — it’s not useful unless the input manager is installed, but users don’t have much motivation to install the input manager on their own.

		Spurred on by recent dot-com crashes and failures and the much-publicized loss of Mars probes due to computer failures and miscalculations (one reason for NASA's heavy involvement in the HDCC), the need for crash-proof computers is becoming more evident.
		The goal to "make computing and communication systems dependable enough for people to trust with their everyday lives and livelihoods..." is noble and worthwhile, and I would be happy to join the effort.
		Crash proofing is impossible, but I'm sure there are things that could be done to make then occur less or lessen the damage of such crashes.

		No crash, lockup, or freeze is more mystifying than the one that happens when you're trying to start up your PC or shut it down.
		If your PC tends to freeze when you have several applications open at once or when the computer is performing multiple tasks, you might be able to avoid the problem by adding more memory to your system.
		Yet, by narrowing down your troubleshooting based on the type of crash and what you were doing on your computer before the crash, you can drastically reduce that unknown factor and get back on track to smooth computing.
