A while back, I developed a program to generate invoices for about a dozen busy warehouses. During testing, for convenience sake, I hard-coded in my local printer.
Unfortunately, I forgot to return the printer name to a variable when promoting into production. Hilarity ensued.
- jacquesm 17y agoHehe, that one had me laughing here. Ouch. Hope you put enough paper in it ;)
- newsdog 17y agoBetter one. Guy I knew - awesomely good - hex edited a DOS boot sector on a in house machine to use FUCK.SYS instead of whatever.sys it normally is (I forget). He renamed that file to fuck.sys, rebooted and the machine ran. Cool! We laughed and reinstalled DOS and two days later the boss come charging in yelling 'I have a client on the phone who says his new machine can't find FUCK.SYS!' The awesome guy goes 'uh oh'. I laughed.
