Sorry! Bombproof: US slang for something that works consistently, no problems.
The correct computer jargon is 'foolproof'
From which we get the old saw, sometimes referred to as Naeser's Law:
"You can make it foolproof, but you can't make it damn foolproof."
Another term used is idiot proof, but that would fail the test with a lot of the computer users I have seen in my day. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998
