Nice weather up here

Online at 30,000 feet is nothing special these days though I still find it amazing. For some $10 you can get a cross country flight long WiFi access. If only the coach cabin had a little more leg room for a full size laptop experience to be a pleasure and not a struggle. Diverting to iPad might be great for reading and movies and emails but if you need to work you're still stuck with a laptop. My usual in-flight setup includes a laptop to catch up on emails and do some work, a Kindle to read a book, an iPhone to listen to music and catch up on pre-cached RSS feeds, and some printouts to read during takeoff and landing (apparently, they let you use WiFi past 3,000 feet but require no electronic device on during take off and landing).

It's a nice weather up here:

My first question on stackoverflow

Here it is:

Playing with the code on the edge of compile and runtime errors is fascinating. Compilers are software components and may have defects and deficiencies. Language specs may have wholes and ambiguities too. But these are thoroughly tested in labs and then applied daily by hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of programmers so they must be almost perfectly clean. Almost. But still not perfect.

How far from this "still not perfect" is the software you write?
