 Software bug - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A software bug is an error, flaw, mistake, failure, or fault in a computer program that prevents it from working as intended, or produces an incorrect result.
Picture of the "first computer bug" The error of this term is elaborated above.
Bugs are a consequence of the nature of the programming task.

 The "First" Computer Bug
official record of the use of the word "bug" in the context of computing is associated with a relay-based Harvard Mark II computer, which was in service at the Naval Weapons Center in Dahlgren, Virginia.
Furthermore, "bug" was used as far back as Shakespearean times meaning a frightful object (derived from a Welsh mythological monster called the "Bugbear").
(Grace was a pioneer in data processing and is credited with developing the first compiler, which is a program that translates a high-level human-readable language into the machine language understood by the computer.

 THE Y2K COMPUTER BUG -- UPDATE FEBRUARY 2000
Concerning the Y2K computer bug, there was an appalling silence on these questions from academic scientists -- to whom we usually look for answers.
Although not widely publicized, there were quite a number of Y2K computer problems, but most have been glitches that have been quietly fixed without public fanfare -- much like the computer glitches that occur chronically in everyday life.
The most important issues about the Y2K computer bug -- along with all the other potential problems in life -- were/are: "What is the truth?" and "How can the truth be known?".

 Animated animals
The computer establishes a software program that makes, say, an arm, with two segments, connected by a hinge at the elbow.
Jessica Hodgins, who experiments with computer animation at Georgia Institute of Technology, was particularly impressed with the opening and closing scenes, with their waving grasses and hordes of ants working together.
The computer then creates the in-between frames more or less automatically.

 Stalking the Elusive Computer Bug
[19] I.B. Cohen, "The Use of 'Bug' in Computing," Annals of the History of Computing, vol.
In the early 1950s, the terms "bug" and "debug," as applied to computers and computer programs, began to appear not only in computer documentation but even in the popular press.
In 1947, when technicians building the Mark II computer at Harvard discovered a moth in one of the relays, they saved it as the first actual case of a bug being found.

 Kevin Lynch: First computer bug
The first bug causing a computer error was found by Grace Hopper's team in 1945 using Harvard University's Mark II computer.
I think this was actually a *hardware* bug, not a software bug: a moth in the relay made the machine compute erroneously.
She taped the moth in the log book and from that coined the phrase 'a bug in the computer'."

 CNN - Big business, government brace for 'millennium' computer bug - Jan. 4, 1997
Many of those programs are still being used in large mainframe computers and some older PC software.
The problem dates back to the 1960s when computer memory was limited and expensive.
This long-anticipated computer glitch could cause chaos in far-reaching and unexpected ways.

 Questions & Answers: Bug
My understanding is that one of the first computers (the room-filling monsters) would occasionally short out because a moth or other insect had gotten inside and bridged the gap between two circuits.
I've been assured by one of the editors of Edison& papers that the word was commonly used in his notebooks from the 1870s to describe a problem.
It is also said that this was the source of debug, the process of finding and removing errors from a computer program.

 The "Worst" Computer Bug
On the basis that the launch, including the probe, cost in the region of $10,000,000, this has to rank as one of the more expensive (and visible) bugs in the history of computing.
The investigating team found that a logical negation operator had been accidentally omitted from the computer program in charge of controlling the rocket's engines.
(I'm glad I wasn't that programmer!) (See also The "first" computer bug.)

 Does Not Compute
The carryover to computers (certainly complex systems) is almost unavoidable.
The operators affixed the moth to the computer log, with the entry: "First actual case of bug being found."
As the "Mother of Modern Computing," Rear Admiral Grace Hopper was a much sought after public speaker and did, indeed, relate the story often.

 [No title]
In 1975, the year I was born, IBM released the IBM 5100 Portable Computer, a fifty pound monstrosity that was about as "portable" as the G4 was a "supercomputer." From those beginnings, the portable computer just kept getting smaller.
Inspired by the IBM 5100 and Xerox's Notetaker -- a 48-pound machine with a keyboard that folded over the display -- Osborne's eponymous computer was cobbled together from the cheapest parts he could find.
The portable computer: from 50 lbs to a few ounces in 30 years

Over more than four decades to follow, she was in the forefront of computer and programming language progress.
Commissioned a Lieutenant (Junior Grade) 1944, she was assigned to the Bureau of Ordnance and immediately became involved in the development of the then-embryonic electronic computer.

Hungarian-born von Neumann demonstrated prodigious expertise in hydrodynamics, ballistics, meteorology, game theory, statistics, and the use of mechanical devices for computation.
After the war, he concentrated on the development of Princeton´s Institute for Advanced Studies computer and its copies around the world.
On September 9th, Grace Hopper recorded the first actual computer "bug" — a moth stuck between the relays and logged at 15:45 hours on the Harvard Mark II.

Tippett urges computers users and companies to block all e-mails that have attachments as a precaution, or if they can, simply block attachments with.vbs files.
As long as the user deletes the e-mail without opening the attachment, their computer is safe from harm.
Once a computer is infected, the virus transmit itself through e-mail using Outlook's address book.
