>Testing is usually regarded as an important stage of the software development cycle. Testing will never be a substitute for reasoning. Testing may not be used as evidence of correctness for any but the most trivial of programs. Software engineers some times refer to "exhaustive" testing when in fact they mean "exhausting" testing. Tests are almost never exhaustive. Having lots of tests which give the right results may be reassuring but it can never be convincing. Rather than relying on testing we should be relying in reasoning. We should be relying on arguments which can convince the reader using logic.

Unnecessary? I had a really bad experience with ancient skype version on modern Ubuntu desktop, and the fix for this was to set TZ environment variable to speedup first login/history fetch. Skype process was spending so much time doing useless work it was noticeable.

This is pretty neat. Wonder if people could use it to run other Windows stuff on Linux

Honest question here: I thought US citizen could talk to his representative and discuss with him that he (citizen) concerned with that kind of bill. Isn't how democracy works in US?
