Title: Funniest Program Bug
Post by: Mince on February 17, 2008, 07:49:30 PM: I once spent ages trying to track down a bug in a program I wrote. Finally I found that I had written isset(context['user')) instead of isset(context['user']). I typed a round bracket instead of a square one. And what made it even funnier - hang on while I get my breath - is that the round and square brackets are not even on the same key!!!!!!! :-\ :D

I did laugh.

So what's your funniest computer program mistake?
