Talk:TPS report

message: The TPS Report has become a legend thanks to the movie "Office Space" based on the Milton Cartoon that was syndicated on SNL (Saturday Night Live), and was created by Mike Judge (Beavis and Butt-Head, King of the Hill, Milton...etc)
The wow comercial is a scene stolen directly from Office Space. Therefore, it is an inelligible source because it duplicates an already cited source. I mean, it isn't even re-acted... they just use computer editing to paste a short WoW scene in. (He was actually playing tetris... notable because you can't really play WoW with only the arrow keys.)
Finally, this article does NOT cite it's refrences... everything after popular use is bullshitted into the article.
I took a management class a couple years ago and my professor was quite confident that TPS reports referred to Transaction Processing System reports, not transactions per second.  Could be wrong, but one could certainly speculate either way.  I would trust my professor over some random wikipedian, however, so some sourcing is definitely needed.

:Now that you went and started a new article without any discussion, please be so kind as to fix the mess you made. I already added the seealso and a GFDL split notice. You can fix all the incoming links. — RevRagnarok Talk Contrib 12:43, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article Split 

message: This article has duplicates of the entries on TPS.  A disambiguation pointer to that and removing the duplicates seems called for.  —EncMstr 01:14, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Duplication? 

message: The TPS report cover sheet that's pictured in the article is a made-up one that someone put together in Word. That must be specified or the image needs to be deleted. It's a fictional TPS report. ask123 (talk) 17:10, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Made-up TPS report image 

message: The narrator of the movie "10 MPH" mentions TPS reports during his introduction to the film (prior to 02:30), and leans on the Office Space reference for comedy.~~  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.52.47.145 (talk) 04:29, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Additional Pop Culture reference 

message: I believe that though there is a good amount of similarity between this IEEE specification and the paperwork in OfficeSpace, I do not believe it is quite adequate to combine these two subjects, much less to give credit for the cultural references to this specification. 
The only one I spotted that is vague enough, due to it being itself in software which could have been an actual reference to the paperwork the developers had to fill in, is Borderlands 2. Everything else is much more a reference to the movie.
If these two similar, but distinct subjects should remain under the same heading, then there should be clarification as to where the reference is more likely to have been sourced from. The movie and it's fictional document, or the IEEE specification. ~AeSix 96.254.154.93 (talk) 02:40, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Popular culture references 

message: This article prominently claims that TPS means Test Procedure Specification which refers to IEEE 829. That's utter bullshit and should be removed. While IEEE 829 does talk about "test procedure" it does not include the word "specification" anywhere. There is no such thing as a "test procedure specification" in IEEE 829, and no such thing as a "TPS Report." TPS Report is 100% from the mind of Mike Judge and this article should acknowledge it as such.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.6.0.156 (talk) 02:14, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
