Why we call them bugs???

Any error made in an application is refferd to as bug.Why? Why not something else... Ok.Lets suggest new names for BUGS!!!!! ;P
Electrical wire was used to make connections (people actually had to move the connections by hand (hence the term "hard-wired" we use in software today). This waire used paper for insulation, and insects would ingest the insulation, cause shorts between wires, in turn causing the computer to malfunction. That's why we call software issues "bugs".

I don't like the habit of giving every incident a number. Is it really fair to talk about bug #1783? What does that tell you about itself? Nothing. All bugs should be given descriptive names, like "Hell bitch exception when the user tries to repeatedly press enter quickly" That would be so much more fun in the long run. A whole new job could be created, a "Software Bug Taxonomist" who names and classifies bugs.

Oh I got that all right. I'm thinking bigger picture as I read a design spec that just references the SEC Rule to be supported and fails to mention the business function that will be provide for it. :mad:

The name bug is as old as computers. Dear Grace Hopper[^] explained how the radar equipment was failing due to bugs [they flew into the system and caused valves to blow] and the name has stayed ever since. If you're brace enough to suggest something else go ahead. I won't.

The first bug, on September 9, 1945, was an actual bug.

Didn't microsoft already try that? I don't think anyone fell for it then either. :-D

Well if we're going to stick with the wussy, politically correct theme that is popular today we'd go with something like: operational variance.
But then we miaswell get ahead of the business and acronym it. OV sounds lame. Lets call it OpVars :D
Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet.

OK, here's a few suggestions: Damn, my program has an Obama! You found a Republican? I'll get right on it! I'll need a screenshot of that Democrat before I can determine how to correct for that behavior. There are too many Politicians in the current implementation. I strongly suggest a complete re-design.

Much older, think "fly in the ointment" older. :)
