This is why regression suites are important. EDIT: I wasn't dissing the developers. They have regression, this was just an accident. I was stating it is important. My bad (too late to delete).

I run multiple OSes as part of my job. The small investment in VMWare Fusion was worth it but I still need some dedicated machines. I just have a few issues: Problem #1: Disk space requirements. I have a late 2013 MBP and windows gobbles up

Oh hellz no! I was just a consumer. Lots and lots of people use the process files for all kinds of modeling (hundreds of models). And every time a new one comes out we all spend a month switching over to it... and another month explaining t

No, I can't elaborate because I wasn't on the process team, I just used their parameters. I watched the agony on faces of friends on-call 24/7 who owned the yields... that was close enough for me. :) Yes, I meant bringing up

To reiterate the other reply to your post, God Emperor of Dune is the 2nd best book in the series. It really pushes the envelope on imagining what the final outcome of a religion might be. It's a little polemic-heavy, but it IS a god w
