Jim, Did I ever tell you how much I like your sig "Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it." -- Donald Knuth Ok, so even...
Looks like it's a bug. I found this with an answer form a Mac OSX support team member http://macosx.com/content/faq.php/q102/Os-X-And-Sleep-Mode.html ... ...

In last months meeting we touched on the reluctance of developers to change. I have found it very hard to motivate a team of developers to switch over to a...
Most people you have to be in pain before you they start to do things right. I love punching my JUnit button in eclipse. I didn't test one morning, made a...
... This is true, but it has to be the right *kind* of pain. When I was at Gap Inc., I was trying to evangelize JUnit (as a stepping stone toward being more...
... I had a running argument with my programming lead at a job back around '01 and '02 about this. He maintained that writing tests was a waste of time and...

Yes, this is a good point Mark, but their 'laziness' doesn't keep them from learning or doing things well. They still care about doing a good job and are...
Been watching this for a while. There's a lot I can identify with in both camps. Most programmers will accept TDD at an academic level and understand that it...
Thank you everyone for all your comments, it is comforting that the issue is fairly common. To Rob's comment, yes I was on vacation for a week but to be fair...
