Tired of the word "Bug"

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
I have had it with hearing the word "bug". Al to many people are using it for everything they think is wrong, some witht he game and some with them.

I think we need to break it down to some categories.

"Mosquito": any anoyance that just keeps popping up, but down not really effect your game play all that mush. Just the occational swat.

"Tarantula": It looks scary, but just leave it alone and it wil go away.

"Ant": They come, they creep around, then take your stuff.

Any others???

Thank you for letting me waste your time.

    I disagree with your definition of "tarantula". The correct one is "ZOMG GET RID OF IT NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW!"

    U-huh.

    I once literally used a BB gun to get a spider off the ceiling.
    No amount of force is too excessive when dealing with those disgusting creatures.

    I like the 'Mosquito' part, alot of people do seem to go on and on about things that are essentially a minor annoyance.

    Actually, you don't need to make up words/definitions.

    One of my favorites is "misfeature".
    misfeature: /mis�fee�chr/, /mis�fee`chr/, n.
    [common] A feature that eventually causes lossage, possibly because it is not adequate for a new situation that has evolved. Since it results from a deliberate and properly implemented feature, a misfeature is not a bug. Nor is it a simple unforeseen side effect; the term implies that the feature in question was carefully planned, but its long-term consequences were not accurately or adequately predicted (which is quite different from not having thought ahead at all). A misfeature can be a particularly stubborn problem to resolve, because fixing it usually involves a substantial philosophical change to the structure of the system involved.

    Many misfeatures (especially in user-interface design) arise because the designers/implementors mistake their personal tastes for laws of nature. Often a former feature becomes a misfeature because trade-offs were made whose parameters subsequently change (possibly only in the judgment of the implementors). “Well, yeah, it is kind of a misfeature that file names are limited to six characters, but the original implementors wanted to save directory space and we're stuck with it for now.”

    Scorpions in fact do not bite, but sting.

    Well excuse me--i was not really interested at the time on wether it bit me or stung me--I pull my foot out of my combat boot and it was attached and i was slightly histerical--foot blew up like an elephants hoof for about 5 days and i was not a happy camper at the jamboriee.
    But what you said makes sense he had me by the tail not the front of him.

    If we find a Bug in the Borg content can we then call it a Burg?

    Out of interest... did the scorpion sting you through a combat boot? Or did it hit a part that was not inside the boot?
