Actually, take a look at TestNG if you want to get a sense of where testing in Java is headed (and I mean testing, not just "unit testing", which is just a subset).
Maybe I just me, but I don't see how being able to solve TopCoder-style problems makes you a great programmer. Great programmers write easy-to-understand, supportable code. This competition doesn't encourage that in any way.
That's why it's called TopCoder and not TopProgrammer.
Yeah, yeah, McNealy already tried to sell us Network Computers with Larry Ellison five years ago. We have more bandwidth now, but some things still haven't changed, like the fact that people *like* their PC and they *love* having their local data on their own computer.
If you want to use an advanced testing framework that works with JDK 1.4 and below, check out TestNG, the framework mentioned in the article and which pioneered many of the concepts being implemented in JUnit 4:
Man, I have to share this. One day, I made a bet with a fellow diver named Rob that I could read slashdot while scuba diving. Rob didn't believe me. On the day before the dive, I took out my digital camera from its housing (an Equinox FITS-40, excellent for back-scatter) and I put my Zaurus inside. Note that I had to write a quick hack to power it on with a timer so that it would launch the browser and load the/. home page. Sweet.
The connection was good on the beach but the only thing I wasn't sure of was whether I would receive wi-fi coverage at sixty feet of depth. We dove and when we reached the bottom of our dive, the Zaurus came on and after a few anxious minutes, loaded the Slashdot front page. I couldn't believe my eyes, nor could my friend.
Next time, I'll have to find a way to actually browse.
Afterall, in any form of mixing bin, all of the balls inside do have to obey the laws of physics. If you knew the starting positions and details about all of the activities that are going on in the bin, you could possibly solve for which ball is going to be the one selected.
This is incorrect, but don't worry, Einstein made the same mistake, so you are in good company.
Quantum mechanics introduce randomness in any complex system, so that even if you know every single starting parameter, you still can't predict the outcome with 100% certainty (this is connected to the aptly-named "Heisenberg principle of uncertainty", although it's not exactly the same phenomenon at work).
How about something more subtle and less prone to being abused:
Find out on the spammer's site where the order form is and fill it with bogus information
?
This would hit the spammer where it really hurts: they can't afford ignoring the order forms but it will cost them a lot to process them. Hopefully it will make the act of spamming much less interesting financially.

This *is* WAP. XHTML is WAP 2.0.
You probably meant "great people".
There's only one leader in the game, and it's you. You might be a great person yourself, but let's get to know each other first.

Yawn.
Here are a couple of articles explaining why the distinction between tests and unit tests are becoming irrelevant:

Piece of mind? Sure! How about: screw you M$!
Why, oh why, did they have to specifically aim this at all the apps I don't use?
Maybe because the rest of the world does?

Linux is the future.
Yup. And it always will be.
This is finally the thing where Microsoft misses the wrong boat
Then I guess we're stuck with them for a few more years, eh?

Another innovative testing framework that was released recently is TestNG, http://beust.com/testng
It uses Java Metadata to specify test runtime and deployment information.
It doesn't seem to support matrices nor imaginary numbers, like the 15c did... Strange.
This tradition is usually referred to as "droit de cuissage", which means "thigh right".
Yeah, they weren't very good at anatomy back then.

It's not "ITS", it's "IT'S".

There has been one Tintin movie: Tintin et Les Oranges Bleues (http://us.imdb.com/Title?0058663).
It was okay, but disappointing: captain Haddock didn't have the same voice as in the books.
