Ten typical problems of programs
Nothing else will, but the odd programs we tested. It would be impossible to put a number, but we're going to put numbers to another list, the most frustrating errors, evil, twisted and unfortunately also the most often repeated, that software developers make and that sooner or later , end 'suffering' all.
Waiting for our friends the programmers take note of our list, but to avoid it, start with number one.
1 - "It's free, but little"
Named to the programs that seem free, smell free and you know free, but then far from free. For example, start a program and tons of buttons and tools fabulous show to you, but when you click on any of them, a window will rejoice in your innocence, telling you that this function is only available in the full version (fee) of same. Total, eventually, it almost does not do much.
2 - "Programs to gift"
These gifts, also known as spyware / adware, Unlike the real thing, do not usually make too much illusion. Arguably, the author believes that program-usually-offer it for free, has the right to do with your team what he pleases, from adding search bar to really change your home page or display advertisements regularly.
3- "I decided myself thanks"
This group shows similarities with the former, but not become so evil. Here are encompassed programs that decide for you which should start with Windows, associated as the default viewer, look for updates when he pleases, automatically configured on the firewall, etc..
4 - "Try it, if you can"
Not all programs are free and not always served us with them. So sometimes we try for a limited period of time-or function-a software payment, to see if it suits what we want. However, there are some programmers who do not seem to want us to test their programs, then cut both their roles in the trial version that is impossible to see anything. This group also entered the cagaprisas, "said of those test programs that make you try everything at lightning speed and stop working on the next run, minute or day."
5 - "Little Frankenstein"
The appearance no longer an afterthought, but it is always nice to work with a little design. However, out there are all kinds of monsters mutated two-headed software and tacky, which threaten to destroy our good taste. Dear programmers, if you strive to change the program interface, try anything to improve it.
6-"See if you find it"
This group is also distinguished by its interface, but not according to appearance, but their usefulness. Its peculiarity is that many of their options / features are completely hidden with malice, bad faith and malice. Menus within menus, checkboxes within other, buttons unclear or off-site and undocumented keyboard shortcuts are the main methods of sowing terror. Also included here are those which completely change the / buttons site from one version to another.
7 - "Where there are two fit four"
If you need to install a program for a particular function Why not install in place twenty? It sounds outlandish, but a similar approach to that followed in programs that end up becoming full and heavy "suites." Has occurred, and continue to occur, since with antivirus to recorders, to design software, office automation
8-"Are you Chinese?"
The statistics say probably not, but after seeing that many programs are presented in the language, you may need replanteartelo. Okay, do not ask that all software is in Spanish, but what less than in English, and do less than well translated, not gotten into the Google translator, and ready.
9 - "Follow the instructions "
Let's be honest, when you install a program, we want to give "Next, Next, Next" and leave us alone, so when we come to a facility that carefully read a list of twenty steps to carry out , we drop the world at his feet. Fortunately more and more installers are simple and safe, but there are still facilities out there that need to have aerospace engineering degree, CI and eternal high dose of patience.
10 - "The world's longest name"
This is more than a mistake not going to be a failure (and three points in the driver's license). Here are those programs whose creator does not have enough imagination or ingenuity to devise a name and has been bringing together instead a list of tasks. For example, "FREE TO AVI CONVERTER FOR IPOD MP4 ZUNE AND MultiLanguage VISTA 32BIT EDITION." It's certainly not a name that you will remember to recommend to my friends
In short, software and more software. What would we do without it! Sometimes a hero, sometimes a villain, not to be culpeis how it is, just does what it is designed to do. For better or for worse.
