Geek test

This photo is funny. But to get the joke, you have to be of the cellar or attic dwelling kind that writes code (or did so at some point).

So take this as your geek litmus test. If you don't get the joke, you're a poser. Scroll down for an explanation crawl back into your closed source world where the only Apple logo you have is on your iPod.

Bugfeature

"It's a feature, not a bug," is a common programming term. It essentially indicates that a software failure can't be redflagged because it was put in there intentionally. This can be accomplished by describing the "feature" in the manual.

This VW Beetle (aka: VW Bug) is a feature, judging by its license plate.

That looks like the Intel Folsom parking lot. Neat place. Lots of quirky cars there.

To get that joke, it would help to be American, as well as a geek. That car's a Beetle. It's only known as a "bug" to Americans.
