Maybe by running an application that needs root access on an unprivalegeded user?

Im pretty sure this falls under homework which would make it against the rules to ask for help here but you can just google how to make a fake error prompt and you will find tons of links that will teach you. There are even youtube videos on the subject.

And if you use a program like espeak you'll be able to make your computer actually say the immortal words. Just like the real Hal.

Dunno how to make it sing "Daisy" though. :p

for linux ?

gnome

gdialog --msgbox "I'm sorry dave, I can't let you do that" --title "Error"

kde

kdialog --msgbox "I'm sorry dave, I can't let you do that" --title "Error"

k Wow, I was told Linux Ubuntu had a strong community but damn. I didn't think I would get a resopose that fast.

I should have specified GNOME, but the
gdialog --msgbox "I'm sorry dave, I can't let you do that" --title "Error"

code worked like a charm.
