      company's computer and accidentally connecting to a {backdoor}

working as designed (IBM) Conforming to a wrong or inappropriate specification; useful, but misdesigned. Frequently used as a sardonic comment on a program's utility or as a bogus reason for not accepting a criticism or suggestion. At {IBM}, this sense is used in official documents! See {BAD}.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
working set The set of all pages (in a {paging} {virtual memory} system) used by a {process} during some time interval. As a result of {locality of reference}, the working set frequently consists of a relatively small fraction of a process's total virtual memory pages. While a process's entire working set is in {physical memory} the process will run without {page faults}. If the working set is too large for available physical memory, the process causes frequent {page faults}. In a {multitasking} environment, information about which pages are in each process's working set allows the memory management system to improve {CPU} efficiency by {prepaging} (also called the {working set model}).
