   I just had a play with this in a local shop. The bottom of the pre keypad is knife like in its sharpness and the interface is cricket ball like in its sharpness.

    "It would be a great shame if those with religious convictions spurned the film out of hand as they will find it even-handed and wise." How can it be even-handed?

    I simply can't imagine developing without unit tests now. I very rarely (never) get things spot on the first time and the unit tests help me maintain pride and position before most of my big merges. Sometimes I do wonder if I rely on them t
