I Believe You Have My Stapler

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the chisel-point dept.

yack0 writes "After three years of demand and countless calls, emails and letters, you can finally buy a Red Swingline Stapler. Hooray! As noted in this wall street journal article and confirmed by this page at the Swingline Stapler web site you can now pick up a Red Swingline stapler for merely twice the price of a plain black stapler. However, a colleague of mine says that the online order form is reading around $16 for his right now. Now all the cubicle dwelling prairie dogs can get one step closer to burning down the building." The red stapler has become some sort of cult icon at this point.

    ...post a fucking article about Gene Kan, for Christ's sake!

    The man is dead by a gunshot wound, Jack Valenti and Hilary Rosen were seen leaving the scene in a hurry, and you posting shit about stupid fucking red staplers?

    And you want us to PAY for this?

    Come on guys, there was about fifteen, twenty minutes TOPS, of "geek cult movie". The rest of Office Space was just more of the same regurgitated Hollywood "boy meets girl, boy gets girl, boy loses girl, boy regains girl" schlock.

    ummm it means there's an error, internal to the server...

    It happens if the CGI program crashes and didn't send any output. You see it a lot on servers running java servlets or jsp...

    Servlets/JSP aren't CGI, you dumb fuck. Slashbots are so ignorant about anything that isn't Perl on Apache on Linux on Intel. Fuckin' newbies.
