Crash Dump Analysis

I found the book How to Avoid Huge Ships: And Other Implausibly Titled Books in a local bookshop yesterday and couldn’t stop laughing. So I took some implausible titles and bugtated them into implausible debugging book titles:

• - Old Bugs and the Men Who Debug Them
• - How to Avoid Crashes and Hangs or I’ve Never Met a Bug I Liked
• - Blue Screen: What’s in it for You?
• - What to Say When You Debug: Powerful New Techniques to Program your Success!
• - Redmond: The View from Greenland
• - Fabulous Small Bugs
• - Better Never to Have Coded: The Harm of Coding
• - Code for Impact
• - Whose Bug? The Clash between Software Vendors
