If a tree falls in a forrest…

I remember seeing this Visual C bug report years ago back in the old BBS days… Now it looks like there’s finally a copy of it on the web.

Visual C makes an audible signal when a build completes. When no developer is in the room, this signal doesn’t make a sound. To reproduce:

1) Start a build.
2) Leave the room.
3) Note that the chime does not make a sound.

We should find a way to make the build bell make a sound even if nobody is there to hear it.

Although acording to Paul Vick, it seems Microsoft also has buggy milk.
