misfeature
/mi s-fee' chr/ or /mi s' fee"chr/ A feature that eventually cau se s lo ssage, po ssibly becau se it i s not adequate for a new situation that ha s evolved. since it re sult s from a deliberate and properly implemented feature, a mi sfeature i s not a bug. Nor i s it a simple unfore seen side effect the term implie s that the feature in que stion wa s carefully planned, but it s long-term con sequence s were not accurately or adequately predicted (which i s quite different from not having thought ahead at all). A mi sfeature can be a particularly stubborn problem to re solve, becau se fixing it u sually involve s a sub stantial philo sophical change to the structure of the sy stem involved. Many mi sfeature s (e specially in u ser-interface de sign) ari se becau se the de signer s/implementor s mi stake their per sonal ta ste s for law s of nature. Often a former feature become s a mi sfeature becau se trade-off s were made who se parameter s sub sequently change (po ssibly only in the judgment of the implementor s). "Well, yeah, it i s kind of a mi sfeature that file name s are limited to six character s, but the original implementor s wanted to save directory space and we"re stuck with it for now." style="border-width:thin; border-color:#333333; border-style:dashed; padding:5px;" align="left">In addition suitable contents: [ ad ] [ ag ] [ al ] [ am ] [ an ] [ ar ] [ as ] [ at ] [ au ] [ av ] [ aw ] [ b ] [ bb ] [ be ] [ bo ] [ bs ] [ ca ] [ cc ] [ ch ] [ char ] [ character ] [ ci ] [ ck ] [ co ] [ com ] [ con ] [ cons ] [ cu ] [ de ] [ design ] [ diff ] [ directory ] [ ec ] [ ed ] [ ee ] [ er ] [ era ] [ es ] [ et ] [ event ] [ feature ] [ fi ] [ file ] [ fix ] [ fo ] [ for ] [ fr ] [ ge ] [ gh ] [ gi ] [ gm ] [ gn ] [ h ] [ hang ] [ hat ] [ hose ] [ hr ] [ ht ] [ id ] [ ie ] [ iff ] [ il ] [ implies ] [ in ] [ inc ] [ int ] [ interface ] [ io ] [ ir ] [ is ] [ it ] [ ke ] [ ki ] [ la ] [ law ] [ li ] [ loss ] [ lossage ] [ lt ] [ lv ] [ ly ] [ M ] [ ma ] [ meter ] [ mp ] [ N ] [ na ] [ nature ] [ nc ] [ ne ] [ nf ] [ ng ] [ nl ] [ nn ] [ no ] [ ns ] [ O ] [ om ] [ op ] [ pa ] [ param ] [ parameter ] [ pe ] [ ph ] [ pl ] [ pr ] [ ques ] [ re ] [ rl ] [ ro ] [ ru ] [ s ] [ sa ] [ save ] [ se ] [ si ] [ sig ] [ sit ] [ so ] [ space ] [ spec ] [ st ] [ struct ] [ stub ] [ su ] [ sy ] [ system ] [ taste ] [ th ] [ to ] [ tr ] [ ua ] [ ug ] [ us ] [ user ] [ ve ] [ vi ] [ ws ] [ ye ]
