I once tested a driver on the same machine as I was building it on.
It BSODed, and when I rebooted and opend the project half my source files contained nothing but full stops.
I didnt do that again.

Ah, the joys of tweaking production code because after all, "it has to work".

No, I was really developing a kernel driver, crashed my machinem and it trashed half my source code.
Dont test on a dev machine is the moral.

Without a doubt. That's what I was alluding to.

Really?
I have no idea how "tweaking produciton code, because it has to woek" is in any way relevant then.

Try the following:
Write some long text in Notepad pressing Ctrl + S from time to time.
At one point you accidently press Ctrl + A instead and continue typing.
Next time you press Ctrl + S again.

This is one reason that the old school Alt+F, S reflex wins ... if you fat-finger that you get Save As which is not a problem.

That really needs a fat bloke in it.

Hmmm. "A turkey" appears to fit both those definitions.

Bloody stupid code monkey [me] doesn't follow the spec and the whole kaboodle ends up as stable as a francium statue in a hurricane.
It's debug or bugger off, so I'm going for the later. I'll pick up the girls, then make an early start on supper with some mulled wine to keep out the chill.
