There is a story, probably a myth, about "debuggeing".

Years ago computers are not like they are today with 1,000,000(s) of microscopic parts.
Before ICs, before transistors, there were tube and also relay computers.
A relay has mechanical switches. Pieces of metal that move to make contact.
They story said, the computer stopped working right. A bug had flown into a computer, probably to get worm. The bug had died and fallen into a relay. It dead body was stuck so the switch could not close.
The repair man removed the dead bug and the computer worded.
debuggeing= the act of removing a bug
**broken link removed**

Its true! I read it on the internet ;)
 
True, I read on the internet that for $14.95 they will make me an inch taller. (or is that longer)
I get those adds as well ;), not needed in my case :p, an inch longer is greatly different from an inch taller!! lol
 
For $$ I can learn the secret to make any woman jump into bed with me.
If I had $$$$$$ there would be less of a problem.
 
For a few $$ extra I would remind what to do once they were there :D
 
K S .. As you see its one of those terms there to confuse... Programmers sometimes don't get it right first ( or twenty-first) time , so the code is run on a physical system along side a monitoring program, ( and/or hardware interface) this can step or break the execution of the main program, the bugs or unexpected results can then be traced to problem code. sounds easy , but is not.
 
Debugging does not have to be software, but can be hardware, or automotive, or aircraft, or looking for errors/broken/missing in almost any field. Usually technology related fields. This word came from computer repair and spread from there.
 
If your bugging out can you be debugged? :D. Or maybe debug someone who is bugging you?
 
Yes a 6.6 year old sister, and I do have several several debug techniques I use with her ;)
