And the first story is called

With your faults

Like a mistake?

This system is bristling with defects and drawbacks.

But I'm glad to say that I think we know the cause of all these conditions, and that cause is NDD

Remember Prickly Pear.

What's my flaw ? Your temper.

As I say, it sounded good. But when we came to go into the thing, we saw that there was a flaw.

You don't know that this is a defect.

To correct the defect, such that it no longer produces an infection but actually makes the program behave correctly.

Why?

Computers are obedient to a fault.

But it's flawed.

Now, Biff, I never noticed that the car had any blind spot before when I would drive it.

I am quite content not being the leading lady

It's... a genetic defect of some kind.

This system has obvious defects.

Errors are typically unwanted and unintended. Failures are error. A defect is also an error.

This one... is a bit... defective.

I'm correcting a defect in its genome.

Simple point the old civilization is no longer sustainable.

Router malfunction in hard drive 3.

Apparently there was some sort of banana in the transmission.

What seems to be the trouble with it?

Vosk's time travel device had a drawback.

They can be.

And here is the crucial thing.

It's a flaw in my character that I have...

We detected a great fault in the system.

Second, the more active assertions there are, the easier it is for you to find the defect.

But the problem was, you see, my idea had one fatal flaw, and that flaw was this.

You running a glitch in the program or something?

Is E.T. starting to insult everyone arround him when the icon is activated?? (ASSHOLE! I FUCK YOU!)

But that doesn't work.

We want to make sure that the defect is actually error, that is it is wrong.

And I remember saying on the morning of the accident,

Next example.

So, we're sitting around and thinking,

Her timing was fatally flawed.

What is this?

This notion of causality is important in debugging because when you fix a defect we want to make sure to think first.

And virtualreality displays show our geneticists the gaps in the DNA sequence.

Where'd you get that? Your literature?

Are you blind, McFly? How else do you explain that wreck out there?

I just think I might have, you know, the attention deficit....
