F*** Os X
<OK I'll admit it's a rant>
Nothing pisses me off more then when an app bounces and quits out with no warnings or anything. It just won't open. That is BS.
</you know>
Trying to turn this thread into something not just a waste of your time...
Why? Is there any way to fix this?! This has happened at least once on ever OS X computer I've ever used for a prolonged period of time.

What app is this? Check the console.log.

Oh my, a little irritated today ast3r3x? "happened at least once" is no grounds to get all bent over. What app?
It has happened with Toast 6, Starry Night, DVD2One, Ten Thumbs Typing Tutor, and most recently which got me pissed Illustrator CS. All of them (except Ten Thumbs Typing Tutor...which just gave me a problem tonight along with Illustrator fix themselves magically with time without any reason or rhyme, although I think reinstalling panther helped Toast.)
And soundtrack does this on my brothers G4...not sure if it does still or not.
How do I check console log?

Utilities>console.app.
Generally, though, its after I've been messing around with the software.

I've NEVER had it happen to me. And I tinker quite a bit...
I rarely tinker with OS X or my apps.
Version 8.0 has a bug that prevents setting the "execution" bit for apps. Upgrading your copy to 8.0.1 will fix the problem.
disk utility is finished repairing permissions.
acquisition has been on for awhile (I'm not registered.)

I used expander 8.0 to unstuff Ten Thumbs but that doesn't explain stuff like Illustrator CS which I got off of the CD. Oh well Illustrator is working (seemingly no reason) and I just updated stuffit so we will continue to see and possibly complain.
As others have pointed out, /Applications/Utilities/Console.app is the easiest way to see this file. Next time this happens, take a peek at that soon after, and it should tell you *precisely* what went wrong.
You may not understand it, but it'll be precise. In which case, post the relevant text here and we can help you decode it.

maybe i missed something, but what is the comand line to fetch the log information from console.app?
if this question seems buggy, than skip it;-)

Run Console.app.
It shows you the console file in a nice GUI window.
Select, copy, paste to post it here.
Why would you need the command line for anything? Console.app means you don't have to. That's what it's for.
If you want to access it directly, the file is in /var/log/console.log Generally you read a file on the command line with 'more' or 'cat'. If that makes no sense, you might be best off just using Console.app.
