dejected

adj : affected or marked by low spirits; "is dejected but trying

to look cheerful" [ant: {elated}]

demented

Yet another term of disgust used to describe a program. The

connotation in this case is that the program works as

designed, but the design is bad. Said, for example, of a

program that generates large numbers of meaningless error

messages, implying that it is on the brink of imminent

collapse.
