Debian GNU/Linux - Got Apt-Get?
The Advanced Package Tool (APT) is a part of the software management system
for Debian. Analogous to RedHat's RPM, but infinitely more capable, APT
features automatic dependency handling and much more. If you're not a Linux
type, it's like Windows Update for adults.
1. Login to a shell as root.
2. Type "apt-get moo" and press ENTER.
3a. An ASCII-art drawing of a cow will be displayed, with "Have you mooed
today?".
3b. If you use just "apt-get", a help file is shown with the various
switches available. At the very end it says "This APT has *Super* *Cow*
*Powers* ".

Oh, right, like microsoft never put any easter eggs in their programs.
Heaven forbid they should bloat their software more than it already is...
oh...
wait...
They do bloat BIG time, so of course, they have to do bloaty easter eggs to,

Of course they have, but people like Roy have been using easter eggs as an
argument against Windows, saying that open source software doesn't have
them.
Of course Roy will say any argument he can think he'll get away with,
regardless of whether it's true or not.
Examples:

You can't have the argument both ways. Either Easter Eggs are bad, and thus
this is bad, or they don't really matter either way.

At your 3rd rate polyversity where you got your "hons" degree in CS withouth
ever studying compilers you obviously never studied this concept of "on
demand paging" of memory either. Ask someone who attended a good university
to explain it to you. You might be surprised to learn that code/data that
isn't referenced at runtime just sits there on disk and doesn't actually
consume any memory.

Rubbish.
I've heard of at least half a dozen easter eggs in various programs,
including gnome, open office and, yes, apt.

Why? Have you ever heard of a dynamically loaded library? The easter egg
isn't in memory unless you trigger it. The apt easter egg is, though it's
likely reasonably compact.

Regardless of where the flight simulator code resides, it represents:
1. Time spent on fun that could be better spent on debugging.
2. A potential additional vulnerability.
3. A potential back-door to worry certain classes of users -- who
knows if that is all the easter egg does?
4. A lack of respect for business protocol.

Someone at a much higher pay-grade than you'll ever see disagrees. Perhaps
you work in some "sweat shop" where it's nothing but work-work-work but
developers actually like to have some fun once in a while.

You're right. I wrote that you got your "hons" degree without every studying
compilers. What I really meant to say is that not only didn't you study
compiler, you sneered and laughed at the very fact that a computer science
cirriculum would even bother teaching compiler theory.

The only thing pathetic here is the so called "edumakashun" you got at the
3rd rate polyversity of yours. Unlike those mighty courses you took where
you learned how to place animate gifs on a web-page, at least the university
I attended bothers to teach its students about these obscure things like
"compilers" and "operating systems".

Unless the easter egg was written by an intern who had nothing else to do.
I know where i've worked, we often gave that job to interns. Our "easter

Credits is fine, and yeah, I had "the new guy" write a mini-command
language for testing an internal protocol.
But I'd really be leery about including something really big /and/
frivolous in a shipped product. Although a DLL ain't so bad, if it
doesn't bring in a lot of system DLLs.

The effect is about the same, I think.
I suppose I'd cut a little more slack in this regard to an application
for which I did not have to pay.
Long ago, I put a little easter egg in a FORTRAN program for a lab; the
app would respond testily if you typed "fuck" or a couple other bad
words. I encoded the characters as integers, so it wasn't obvious in
the code. But there was /no way/ I was telling the boss about that
little trick.
These days, the only easter eggs I embed are useful things like
log-dumps and code that accounts for the differences in running
Debug/Release code from within the Visual Studio IDE versus from the
command line.
Around here they like to sometimes call that stuff "gold plating" :-(
