There's the good old "Not a typewriter" error message :)

Also, HTTP 418 "I'm a teapot"
From RFC 2324:

10 Hi, I am dtgreene!

20 goto 10

Nice :)

I often work on Linux kernel modifications or drivers that manipulate various block I/O or file system layers transparently. As part of regression tests I run some routine file system diagnostics. When a bug creeps in, I usually end up with this in my logs:

WARNING: PROGRAMMING BUG IN E2FSCK!
OR SOME BONEHEAD (YOU) IS CHECKING A MOUNTED (LIVE) FILESYSTEM.

Speaking of tea"I'm a teapot" means something very different in russian.

It literally means "I am a newbie"

The "Idiots guide" is actually officially named "Teapot guide" in russian. :P
So, perhaps the Error 418 actually means - "I am too stupid for this", as server response ofc.

PS.
Happy birthday!!

I doubt it. The official documentation says that 418 is the error code you get when you try to brew coffee with a teapot. Seriously.

I am not excluding this, but if you reread the RFC keeping the other interpretation of "coffee pot" in mind, it reads as "HTICP" :D

There is even a wikipedia article! :O

What is the other interpretation of coffee pot? I thought teapot was meant as a newbie.

Still don't follow, unless I stands for Idiot, in which case the coffee pot means the same as the teapot, which would mean I'm even more confused...

Its more a combination of, like "dummy" as an adjective.

But if you like confusions, there is a third meaning - "head". For example the phrase "head hurts" can be said as "(my) teapot hurts" (чайник болит) :)

That's not what he said though. Since sis creates lot of threads about programming he said it would be better if they're all under one title like a general thread for programming itself. A reasonable suggestion IMO and something that we already do here to an extent with regard to topics like humble bundle deals, free games on other sites threads, etc.

Maybe I've missed something but the number of threads in the forums that I've seen that cover the topic of computer programming is so negligible as to be practically non-existent. If one were to categorieze every thread into an appropriate topic label, there are probably 50 topics that would be more commonly discussed on the forums, and yet the forum is divided into a single general forum.

I rather doubt that GOG plans to divide the general forum into multiple sub-forums now or any time in the next several years if ever, even if the general thread becomes a go-to place that puts stackexchange out of business.

But I could be wrong. Call it my gut feeling.

I think you're right. That was kind of addressed recently in response to one of the recent requests for an off-topic forum:

fables22 has posted the new forum rules to the forum, which among other things tell people to not try to police or moderate the forums, to let GOG do that. It's my understanding that if something is considered off-topic here on the GOG forums that fables22 or some other GOG employee will directly contact the person and politely request they not post such things, but if GOG hasn't told someone their post is off-topic or doesn't belong on GOG, then it isn't really.

There's all kinds of stuff on the GOG forums that people post that I'm not fond of every single day, and a lot of it could be categorized as "off-topic", but that's up to GOG to decide, not me. I simply scroll past it and don't bother reading it usually, which is what people should do if they don't like programming questions or other things that aren't their cup of tea.

Somewhere like stackexchange or similar might be a better place to ask such questions, but barring it violating a GOG forum rule I'm afraid I can't see a problem with it even if it were on a topic I don't personally care for. Sometimes its best to tolerate others and selectively choose what we read/engage in, than to try to police them and tell them what they should do - without any authority.
