Bullshit

I call bullshit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.85.176.65 (talk • contribs)

The "lp0 on fire" message is a goof, originated in the Linux kernel Way Back When. I'm trying to find a reasonable reference. --67.85.176.65 00:38, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This story is questionable, agreed. Moreover, nobody has seen this message simply because it's no longer in the kernel anymore. It's been replaced by "unknown error" IIRC. -- A chicken passeth by —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.169.41.37 (talk) 10:01, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it is. Linux kernel 2.6.22-13-generic here (with Ubuntu patches), and in drivers/char/lp.c, line 255, you can see printk(KERN_INFO "lp%d on fire\n", minor);. (You can also find other instances of the "on fire" in other components with "grep -R 'on fire' /usr/src/linux/*".) — SheeEttin {T/C} 23:17, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

To this day?

and continues to baffle users to this day. The reference cited for this is from 2000. Do we still call 7 years ago "to this day"? 200.83.177.115 04:48, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
