Colin Lindsay Posted June 12, 2021 Report Share Posted June 12, 2021 I heard it was in Harvard in 1947, where they actually removed the dead moth, stated they had 'debugged' the computer, and sent the moth as proof. It's supposed to be still there in Virginia and visible as a museum exhibit of the first computer bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Twitchen Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 Even Thomas Edison used the word. Here's an extract of a letter he wrote in 1878 to Theodore Puskas, as cited in The Yale Book of Quotations (2006): 'Bugs' -- as such little faults and difficulties are called -- show themselves and months of intense watching, study and labor are requisite before commercial success or failure is certainly reached.

I spoke to Pete yesterday, we're both on Windows 10, both upgraded recently. But he's got this alternate front end and I haven't. Weird. The only difference is he's Grand Master and the rest of us are blue rockets. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinR Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 There are 13 ranks to progress through, with the 13th rank being “Grand Master”. The update got rid of the dots to designate rank and replaced it with a small image file, and by default they were all set to the Blue rocket. to get something more meaningful up quickly, I’ve used the rank badges from Karate, starting with a white belt, going up to a black belt. The Dan grades then get a yellow band added to the black square. The last 2 grades have shooting star logos. Pete being the only person to achieve the top grade. Colin will hit the 2nd from top in the next few days. I’m still working through the list correcting points scores as the new ranks are based on a combination of reputation and postings made, but they ignored the previous posting count when the upgrade was applied, so each person has to be manually corrected. Posting totals up to the 700’s have been corrected, those below 700 will have to wait a few days. don’t know what Pete’s problem is, it’s not something I’m changing, it could be his browser. In particular, the Forum no longer supports the use of Internet Explorer, but this is not new with the latest update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
