Hi, I've not asked a question before so if you need anymore information please contact me. I may be being a bit daft here but I'm a bit stuck on this term - I assume it's slang.
I'm doing some market research for Microsoft and one of the respondents have replied that there are too many unnecessary 'blammer' included in their programs. The question was just a general 'what are your comments on Microsoft products'.
The actual text is as follows:
Der er for meget 'blammer' inkludert i programmerne.
The respondent goes on to say that too many settings in the program are predetermined and can't be changed, nothing more than that. Google just keeps coming up with a contraction of "blog spammer" but from the context the term appears to be more to do with the predetermined, unchangeable functions of the program.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Elizabeth

bla-bla-bla
The first thing I'd think of, is "blammer" being "bla-bla-bla", which normally means too much talk. In this case I'd interprete it as too much junk or too many unnecessary features that slow down the system.
Which would be a very probable interpretation as most experienced PC-users see it that way..

: 'bloatware' - or 'bloat features' for the junk/unneccesary features themselves. Or 'too much "bloat" '.

There's too much 'blammer' which are included in the programs..

blammer : The name “blammer” is a mix between a gunshot ("Blam!") and the sound that comes out of mouth when lips flap ("blather", “blah blah blah").

Sequences were compared with the nr sequence database using BLASTP v2.26 and multiple sequence alignments were derived using the Java program Blammer. Blammer consists of five post-processing steps for BLAST result files that convert sets of high-scoring segment pairs (HSPs) to multiple alignments; this routine relieves the gapping problems that arise during the conversion of pairwise alignments to multiple alignments.

bloatware
blōt´wãr) (n.) jargon Software that has lots of features and requires considerable disk space and RAM. As the cost of RAM and disk storage has decreased, there has been a growing trend among software developers to disregard the size of applications. Some people refer to this trend as creeping featuritis. If creeping featuritis is the symptom, bloatware is the disease.
