How do you attach a .DOC file to a moron? :-)

Office Space, cult classic among cube workers, See also.

Your stapler can be found here.

I have not tried working in a white noise space, but it's a good idea if you want to implement acoustic privacy. I remember some research on outdoor spaces that showed people in areas with waterfalls did not necessarily pay attention to the waterfall itself - the attraction was the insulation from the street noise. You'd have to tinker with the sound level and speaker placement so people didn't find themselves in a Cone of Silence. I'd try a grid of small, unobtrusive speakers. Try to use materials and decorations with good acoustic properties (large plants, cieling tiles, fabric banners, etc).

Cube farms can totally suck the life out if you if they are visually unattractive and bland. You can make spaces more interesting using quirky tricks - use an old computer (white noise generator?), LCD projector, and theater blinders to put a dynamic mural on the wall without blinding half your staff. Corkboard or painted homasote walls also allow rapid customization as well as enhance sound dampening.

Maybe he'd give up the rights if we gave him his stapler back?

you sure it wasnt a Red SwingLine stapler?

it is not funny at all.

If you do.
There will only be one thing left.

I've had a burgundy-red Swingline 767 for quite a while. VirtualStapler has documented such a beast here. Now, the red 747 does appear to be new, though.

Is it just me, or does the stapler from the movie look more like the the durable stapler than the new Swingline Red Stapler ? Maybe spray paint is still the best way to get a Milton stapler - ignoring the 100% markup for red paint...(?)

The server is effed, but you can get most of the content of the Gallery page from Google's cache, as well as get a direct link to the red stapler image.
