When the performance is a performative and the performative is a performance we think about performability:
A virtualization is virtualization.

While reading Software Studies: A Lexicon (Leonardo Books) 
“The highest perfection of society is found in the union of order and anarchy.” ->
-> “The highest perfection of software is found in the union of order and anarchy.”
Therefore, a bugtation as paradigmatic substitution can be seen as specialised topical patching. It is also augmented with topical coloring:
“The highest perfection of” debugging “is found in the union of order and anarchy.”
Double patching now?

Reinterpreting Mr. Sherlock Holmes’ words (as heard by Dr. Watson) in this zero-paradigmatic (no word substitution) semantic suffixal bugtation:
“Stop, driver, stop!” Did he forget a stop code?

Software “bugs have been around for” decades.

Debugging at large. Remember those bugs from The Day Earth Stood Still movie that were nicely deactivated at once? Remember Nobel Laureate Professor Barnhardt was threading with Klaatu over the correct version of General Relativity on a blackboard and then at once realized that he was talking to an alien? His next phrase was the one that I repeat every day (and I also listen to Bach every day):
“I have so many questions to ask” this memory dump.

Symmetrical bugtation:
Delusion of “difference and repetition” in debugging.

I’m very excited to announce that Volume 3 is available in paperback, hardcover and digital editions:
Memory Dump Analysis Anthology, Volume 3
In two weeks paperback edition should also appear on Amazon and other bookstores. Amazon hardcover edition is planned to be available in January 2010.
The amount of information was so voluminous that I had to split the originally planned volume into two. Volume 4 should appear by the middle of February together with Color Supplement for Volumes 1-4.

Completely mutated Richard Dawkins‘ quotation after listening to his latest book “The Greatest Show on Earth” and reading Fern Elsdon-Baker’s book “The Selfish Genius”:
“Memory dumps are facts”.
Dmitry Vostokov’s statement upon hearing “Evolution is a fact.”
No offence to Dawkins’ camp, watch out the publication of the next issue of Debugged! magazine about systematics and evolution of software defects:

In its simplest form the first law of troubleshooting and debugging states that:
The more frequent a problem is, the simpler tool is needed to resolve and fix it.

Computation “is a brief gasp between one” crash dump “and another.”

While reading memory snapshots (dumps) from Clive James during lunch I came across this:
“… beauty” in debugging “begins as consolation for what can’t be” debugged.
- Dmitry Vostokov @ DumpAnalysis.org -
“You” run code “from beginning to end. You” debug code “the opposite way. You start with the end, and then you do everything you must to reach” the beginning.

I don’t read mere books. I analyze memory dumps. Books are memory dumps. Memory dumps are books.

Dao De Jing bugging
Bang the Debugger, explains his extraordinary skill in debugging:
“The Thread is the Way, the flow I follow. When I started I could only use !analyze -v command. After 4 years I could see through memory bits without lenses of a debugger program because Dao is beyond computer understanding and more than technical skills.”
Based on the famous story from Ding the Butcher.
