Put your program on many computers (local to you fif possible) and have them generate random input and drive it to the program to. Or if that is not possible, betatesters, try to make your program die.
The most certain way to weed out bugs (before others, that is...others that we don't want to find out i.e. users who bought the program, etc) is to use it a lot yourselfes beforehand.
In my mind this will work very well...
And no, there can never be too much testing, unless your code is like one line, which i doubt...for any full blown application, there is not "too much"
In typical "reply-before-even-reading-article"/. style, i ask... what's it gonna be?
someone please write a single-paragraph resume of the posted article...not a google cache, not anything fancy, just what will this mean for those who use AudioGalaxy to find obscure releases, which are impossible to find at the local cd store.
Audiogalaxy has been really a great resource in that aspect, possibly better than napster ever has been. Maybe this coincides with my own personal preferences tho... anyway!
Short one: If we knew, we'd be doing it. Longer one: I can't tell you what...but you can start using your imagination trying to find something that people would use frequently.
And now for some brainstorming:
Whatever you do, a good marketing dpt. will make it look better. This is sad.
Not "one" thing there is. Ok, yoda speak, but what i want to get to is that people need to fill gaps in the business...some people do this...some people do that... coding is fun , ok, but if everone only coded, it'd be dull.
Look which/. subjects seem to get most attention. I consider these subjects "hot". Do this with various other publications, and since we all have seen how satire foresees reality, start with the onion;)
...let's see you try that with (say) a trumpet. Or, even worse, a violin (or any bowed instrument) or EVEN worse, with the electric guitar where each virtuoso tries new ways to produce sounds off of it (two words: Makita Cordless. Yeah, that's an extreme example.).
This VirtualClavier is just some way to show off r&d for something that needs not r&d (at least that's my opinion, i know it sounds very short-sighted...) (others have done various similar stuff).
live performance is just when the performer is using the instrument *now* to produce sound. This thing is not. This, might be a live performance, but not a live performance of a piano. It is a live performance of a VirtualClavier (wasn't midi fully capable of emulating the piano? what's this for!?)
I salute them for their "silent" series. Not eletric not acoustic, yet electric and acoustic...
I'm sorry, but when did you hear that there are no more HP calcs? I have one right here on my desk right now... maybe i should start worrying it might dissappear any moment now?
Or, MAYBE maybe you mean that no more R&D is being done. That's not true either, as there are rumours (yes, but there ARE rumours. and so far, whenever it's been rumours about hp calcs, the turned out to be true) that new calcs will be appearing soon.
Yoda is (supposedly) one of the "strongest" in the Force. Others can move objects using the Force(which is completely nonsense in my opinion- mental power doesn't have nothing to do with physical power or the ability to affect the physical world) why shouldn't Yoda be able to levitate and throw his own body about to compensate for his low posture (is that the correct word?)... Besides, if he didn't, he would just be able to aim at legs.
I was dissapointed that he didn't just kill dooku on the spot...A tie is not a win. Oh well.:/

"Amaya cannot be used to check validity of HTML pages. It accepts valid and invalid HTML documents and tries to dynamically correct errors. For example it's able to add missing end-tags and to move misplaced elements. "

I forsee a gathering of misstreated HP calc hardcore fans... 'cause ever since the GX was introduced, the calcs are going from bad to worse:( the r&d of HP is as good as dead:/
It has 4 wheels. I fskcing hate car. They are incredibly inneficient.
They have 4 seats while take a look out your window, how many of them are ocupied? 4? 3? 2? Motorcycles are far more efficient at this.
The tires have a LOT of friction. In fact, the sportier the car, the larger footprint these tires have, having more friction and demanding more horsepower to spin. Motorcycles are far more efficient at this, All of them have more or less the same very small footprint. The are is like the size of your palm.
Driving , contrary to riding, is unintuitive. Yes, i said unintuitive. Riding is intuitive, because when you turn, your body goes with the turn, and doesn't go away. Also, you turn instictively, by looking at your path. This might turn for the bad tho, if you ever heard of "target fixation": there is an obstacle on your road which you want to avoid. if you make the kistake and look at it to avoid it... byebye...if you want to avoid it, you look at the PATH you want to take to avoid it. How long did it take you to find out just how much to turn the steering wheel so as not to go out of course? How long for the bicycle/motorcycle? there.
Cars are space hogs. They are 3-4 times the size of a motorcycle.
Mileage.
Motorcycles don't collect crud under the seats, no way you lose a coin and try to find it (if you drop a coin while riding, you lost it for good!hehe). No way you can distract yourself by smoking/drinking/eating ice cream/reading newspaper (i've seen them all, you probably have seen worse)
With motorcycles, traffic jams don't exist.
Unless you don't dress properly (and contrary to common thoght you do NOT need to dress like an onion!!!there are very few specific clothes you need to wear, which are easy to remove.and they probably look cooler than a seatbelt.) you don't have to worry about rain/whatever. They are slower, less safe than motorcycles. (if you think i am getting insane on the "safer" part, do notice that i am talking about EVERYONES safety, not only the ones who is in the car but about those outside it.)
The only reasons cars are better than motorcycles is because you can carry (where do you think "car" came from? "carriage". Yes, the thing with horses/cows) lots of stuff with them. And to carry your family. (if it has more than 2 persons , that is if you have children.*)
Cars suck.
(*:just so you don't think i am a misanthrope or something, i want to have kids (even if you hear me sya otherwise under some circumstances- i'm fickle) and the fact that i ride a bike won't hinder me from having kids.)
No, you dumbass. that would be true if you were the only one who wants to install a program. However, it isn't so. YOU might not look in the code, but OTHERS do.
Another fellow/.er made a funny comment about how long before we see linux on it... well, Are there plans for that? Or, in other words, is it possible? I see the windows logo and my eyes hurt:(
-Ok, jim, my computer says you will break your right kneecap on the 35 minute. So, try to be still around then. -Ok (at the 35th minute jim stands still, at which point a brick from the fans smashes his head).

"and a pressure switch inside the top of the boot that switches the magnet off when you apply enough upward pressure on it with your foot"
Sorry, but that will just not work. Why? Think what forces are applied when you wear these boots of yours.
Set aside the electromagnet will need juice...*lots*
...because it is impressive.
By what you say, you imply that a "hick" or a "redneck" is something "bad".
That's idiotic.
