A reminder to keep your mind open
From http://nedbatchelder.com/blog/200811/print_this_file_your_printer_will_jam.html:
Another story from printer-land of 20 years ago: this time about a seemingly impossible bug.
While working on the LPS-20 PostScript software, a bug was filed that said roughly,
Print the attached file. The LPS-20 will jam. You’ll have to open the printer to remove the scrunched up paper.
…
A reminder to keep your mind open. “Just because a bug seems impossible doesn’t mean it is.”
Also an interesting read in the same vein (found in the comments): http://www.ibiblio.org/harris/500milemail.html
