In beta

Beta redirects here. For the loveless, lifeless losers, see You

A program that is in beta or is beta testing is a program that some lazy shit programmer never finished. The program is slapped with the word "Beta" or is refered to as "in beta" to warn individuals that the programmer is a fucktard with no reason to live. The word Beta comes from the greek letter B;, which is a better grade than any of these programmers ever got at ITT Tech. Also, if you're really eHip you'll attach beta to anything for higher eAppeal:

“	That Micro$oft (software) is shit! Google's (free software) is much better, and it's only beta!	„
—A typical slashdotter

Sometimes programmers give up and declare that "it is not a bug, it's a feature."

Beta in Gaming

It should be noted that some of the best versions of games are their Beta Versions. Such as Warrock, Minecraft, World of Warcraft, and Counter-Strike Source.

However, some games like Battletoads were never in beta.
