drop dead message

A useless (toy) computer message with no remedial action suggested.
The general meaning is that this is the end of the line and you made the wrong choice in the beginning. Also, a message with remedial action suggested that could have been automated.
I just got a drop dead message that says "UNABLE TO OPEN FILE" as in wouldn't it be nice if the genius programmer would tell us more specifically what the problem is and what we might do about it. If the message says "You must dial a 1 before this number", one wonders why the system couldn't just make life a bit easier.

Dune Jacket

Piece of clothing or wearable accessory that conceals a water canteen. Used in harsh environments where dealers want too much money for a bottle of water and you won't make it thru the day without it. Safe sucks.
Concerts and events where the security folks won't let you in with your own drinking water supposedly for "security" reasons but really just to jack corporate sales of teeny bottles at 4 bux a pop. Just bring your Dune Jacket so you don't get gouged and you don't get sick either.
