Computer Bugs A Software Upgrade Won't Fix
from the stay-clean... dept
I'm not known for being particularly neat in my work area, but I've never heard about real live bugs making their home in computers. Apparently, it does happen quiet often, which makes sense if you think about it. There's plenty of space for a bug, there's a nice heat source, and there are usually crumbs or other sources of food nearby (assuming the owner eats at his or her computer - as many people do). Of course, this goes back to the original reason why computer "bugs" are called bugs, when a real live bug was found in an early computer having problems (though, nowadays, people say that the term "bug" actually predated that event).
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

Re: Bugs? I've had bigger problems
The little bugger had managed to squeze through an open expansion port, leaving a little bit of fur caught in the opening.
