----highlight below to reveal explanation ----

Geeks call software bugs *features*. For example, a feature of XYZ program is that anything you enter in full uppercase gets converted into wingdings. A VW "Beetle" car is a bug. Get it? :p

I often say at work it is not a bug, but a new feature. :D

Geeks call software bugs *features* .

Well no . Not exactly .

Its an IT joke that Programmers say it isn't a bug - its a feature .

VW = beetle .
Beetle = bug .
Bug = (no, its not a bug, its a feature) Feature .

708439 2008-09-29 21:18:00 From a tester's point of view (being sarcastic), bugs are "undocumented features". Haven't found a piece of software yet without any... johcar (6283)
708440 2008-09-29 22:12:00 Bugless software is an ideal. As software gets more and more complex, its harder to get to that ideal. Just look at Vista :) dolby digital (5073)
