A pioneer in data processing, Rear Admiral Grace Hopper (shown in the photo below) received credit for creating the first compiler in 1952. Hopper helped to develop two computer languages and to make computers attractive to businesses. One of the most prominent women in the computer industry, Hopper died in 1992.
In 1946, when Hopper was released from active duty, she joined the Harvard Faculty at the Computation Laboratory where she continued her work on the Mark II and Mark III. Operators traced an error in the Mark II to a moth trapped in a relay, coining the term bug. This bug was carefully removed and taped to the log book September 9th 1945 [sic]. Stemming from the first bug, today we call errors or glitch's [sic] in a program a bug. [4]
Who Knew the first bug was an actual bug, and a moth no less.
Thanks! Has anyone heard anything about rapidshare search engines( http://www.rapidsharemix.com )?
