Flemming used a crude penicillin solution to clean petri dishes to save money on glassware. He published his works on this and also on lysozymes, the anti-bacterial stuff in saliva and tears but was mocked by the established scientific community both times. It was only later, when prompted by the large number of people dying of infection from injuries from the War that his work was rediscovered and penicillin perfected.
I don't have to prove I never slept with a sheep!! And you can't prove I did!!! ( I destroyed that tape! ) But more on topic...
1. Is it okay to sleep with a cloned sheep since it isn't really a sheep?
2. What is the best way to sleep with a sheep? Do you either put its hind legs inside your boots to keep it from runing away, or do you face it towards a high cliff so it pushes back harder?
The idea of breaking your program into small parts and testing them is fine. Writing programs to test these parts seems to be a bit problematic. I wrote a test program to test this module. But then I remembered that I forgot to write a program to test the test module! You use your specifications to write your module, then you test against these specifications. If you write a program to test these specification, then you already must have a firm grasp of the specifications. What assumptions about your module are you making when you write your test? Or is this a simple black box type test where you do not care how it works inside? Any faults that you have in your conception of your test program will be carried over into your module, or worse your module might be correct but your test program flawed. Seems like an extra layer of complexity rather than a useful method. I also dislike the do it dirty and fast, then refactor part. Proper planning and implementation seems the better approach to me. I understand that "mad hacker" instinct to dive in and code away, but that has to be restrained a bit when the complexity of the problem rises.
Back when I used to MUD pretty heavily, '94 - '96 on Nuclearwar Mud and Powerstruggle race was not even an issue. Back then, most of the people on were technically inclined and shared experiences and helped each other out. We all based our opinions of people based on personality and skills. It wasn't until the OJ verdict that race even got mentioned. I was online when that happened... the screen scrolled 4 pages in a few moments with comments, racial slurs, etc. That was kinda the end of the line for judging people by how their actions and words. We never discriminated against anyone... except them damn faggots! We all hated them. : )
I have two sisters who are identical twins. It was always required for them to wear aluminium foil hats if they wanted to be partners in our family games of spades. Otherwise, we would all end up beaten by them two terrible cheaters!!!
They consider contracts you sign when you get a job valid? Oh my!! Next thing you know they will say all those software EULA we all click past are valid contracts!!!
You mean you haven't been checking out all them hot Russian brides for sale... I mean to marry and cherish online?!!!? I mean... some nice legs and other parts in there!!!

Powerstruggle Mud - King Willie.. Rastafarian Bounty hunter - pay him cash he go kill players in game for ya if he can... Wore a human skull on his head.. smoke some shit... bad dude.
I still remember the time he hit me with a skillet in the new hotel kitchen.. it still hurts!!
If our survival ( ability to run SUV's and talk on microscopic phones we can never find in our SUV's ) was at stake we could put an enourmous amount of time and resources into a project that would save us. All the people would contribute whatever would be necessary. We would achieve greatness, develop all the technology needed, forge a new and greater future for all. At least until the IPO that is. Then a few people get rich and survive in luxury while the rest of us die like the poor $$$ fodder we are.

Oh yeah... a simple condom I presume.
"Need a condom?" "No thanks man, I got the lucky condom my dad gave me. He swears it always worked for him."

I read that in my fighter's manual.
