Comment on Is my cat Turing-complete?

Comments

Cats are a superset of Turing completeness. Cats are "undefined behaviour" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1463112

To replicate: In unity hit ctrl-alt-l, place keyboard on chair. Sit on keyboard.

I would recommend using a cat if available - otherwise, depending on the chair and on the weight of the tester, this might lead to permanent damage to the keyboard. I would definitely refrain from doing this if said keyboard is attached to a laptop.

Thank you so very much. This just landed in my bookmark list of great bug reports that made my day.

I really like the way the community dealt with this.

(Disclaimer: My SO and me are also a foster home for cats. The cat behavior described is relatively normal esp. for one cat model currently "in use" here.)

I think my favourite part about the bug report is that it was closed as a duplicate!

This bug report is a duplicate of: Bug #1538615: Cat causes login screen to hang.

Chaos Cat - the final QA tester. Ensure that your service can survive it.

Chaos Cat, a.k.a. the fluffy fuzzer...
