It's a "Type of Reply" response.
I.e. if anyone asks about a problem he's having with windows, some bright spark always suggests installing linux.

I believe that the Wii is based on Linux, so your suggestion is moot.

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

First thing I did. Didn't work.

Hmm... Well that's it. I out of ideas. You need to follow normal Apple procedure then. Throw the old one away and buy a new one.

As I remember it the repair function for any TV is two sharp raps to the right hand side followed by one piledriver to the top if still necessary! Always worked for my Dad!

The Sony has more issues than all projects on Github combined. Nothing seems to fix it. I even tried the complete reset, which didn't fix anything (it actually broke some things  )

That is the standard procedure applicable to TVs of all makes and models. Certain TVs may require an additional step involving one tight slap on the back.

For some reason, that just popped into my head.......I wasn't even looking at anything code related, was watching the "Couch Commander" video 
Anyway, the question is are there any other "statements" such as the one in the subject' in any other programming language that so eloquently and succinctly tell you exactly what it's doing.......? The more obscure the language the better.
And if anyone says this is a programming question, which it is, but it's not, will get a skelped dock!

ERROR_SUCCESS
Not so much a statement, but a wonderfully descriptive return value.

Like catch (Exception) {} ?
I pretty much like my catches, so I'll keep using those thank you 
If I couldn't use lines of code, functions, or libraries whose usage has made me cringe in the past I should really find another job. I've seen things

It dones't mean they don't have to be used - I use this one too (Yes, I still work with VB6) - but it would be way better to forget them at all.
The problems caused by those lines after years they have been developed... basically unfindable bugs because the sucker acts like there is no problem at all. Add this to the fact that the runtimes throws exceptions like candies instead of returning a status value and you have to manage exceptions for perfectly reasonable beahviours, like opening a non existing file. It can happen, it's usually no big deRUNTIME ERROR! CLOSE THE HATCHES! PREPARE FOR IMMERSION NOW!!!
So many times you simply stick to On Error Resume Next and then problems arise, after years of seemingly fine running. It's like having a bazooka for home defence. Effective it is, useful also, but it's farking dangerous.

Most TrySomething (like TryParse) methods swallow exceptions if you don't check for the return value.
The if-statement can be just as harmful. Take those huge nested if-else branches. Impossible to test, impossible to change (without breaking everything).
So we replace the if-statements with switch/case-statements, same thing happens.
We need to loop through some collection, but it's kind of recursive, and now some programmer uses foreach foreach foreach... (yeah, I've seen it happen).
In SQL Server when an exception occurs it's more or less swallowed UNLESS you use try-catch (how many programmers know that?).
So I now shouldn't use catch, TryParse, if, switch/case, foreach, and SQL Server
Well, I agree ON ERROR RESUME NEXT is the most useless of them all

You're absolutely right about the huge nested ifs, I usually tend to modularize a lot and where multiple checks are involved I use a SEQUENCE of if and a cumulative status, so that it becomes
bool keep_going = true;
if (error_cond1) keep_going = false;
if (keep_going && error_cond2) keep_going = false;
...
It's easier to read and modify, also it's not mandatory to have a single cumulative status. Since I work with stdcalls, VB6 and plain old C code on old compilers (long story short: we can't change.) I can't reliably use exceptions outside the deepest functions and being the VS6 stdlib what it is I don't really need them since it's better to stick to CRT functions, which don't have exceptions. Being VS6 CRT what it is many "safe" functions that use SEH exceptions do not exist so I don't use them either.

I think you could also put in a "goto" instead of setting "keep_going" if you want to break up that nested if architecture.

If your code is something like this
try {
statement
} catch () {}
try {
statement
} catch () {}
...
Then the ON ERROR RESUME NEXT statement makes sense. I actually use it on occasion where I have a short procedure and I want the errors to be consumed and don't care what they are. Doesn't happen often but it does every now and then.

I think you need
catch (void) {} At least in C++ you can throw any type, not just derivations of
class Exception

Still waiting for one of the "modern languages" to implement that one.

Best line ever.
I think every language should have something like 'On Error Resume Next'. Once I added it, my program stopped crashing entirely! It's like magic! Imagine if we could just apply this to every application worldwide... No more software bugs!
(Before you start screaming, note the joke icon... Seriously... I'm crazy, but I'm not an idiot)
