OK, it wasn't a glass, it was a bottle. It was 35C with about 200% humidity so it was a full bottle of chilled Aussie white.
When I say "full" I mean that purely as a historical state of the bottle. the dFull / dT was a very negative number.

Well, since it's different on different versions of the Mac OS, let alone between Windows and Mac O/S, we do seem to have a long finger pointing at the software.
No problem - medical "science" always behaves as though what they're doing is always correct, and when everything changes, they still behave that way. And besides . . . whatever happens to the patient, they still charge the same fees.

And that, children, is why, if you are developing something mission critical you use your own VERIFIED libraries.

Could you (as a software developer) delete all of the code you wrote in a day and rewrite it in around an hour? Chances are your answer is yes. Why is that? Is it because developers are lazy, overpaid jerks? I would argue that it is because there is a lot more to our jobs than meets the eye. Well there's coffee, Code Project, more coffee, lunch...

No. I could not. I can't remember what I did -- that's why I store my code in files, then stick in a version control.

Eating, sleeping, playing with the dogs, maybe five minutes of actual coding. More like 10 if I am using the Windows Forms designer with databound controls.

I just swallowed a little bit of sick after reading that.... 
The course I just did had a section on that and it was relating to a food / freezer stock control system, the way they presented this section, if you missed one tiny bit, or the designer didn't behave, you ended up with a million datasets, bindingsources and heaven knows where and what they were connected to!
One of the optional questions in the exam was this topic, which I just didn't even entertain (and knew before I went in, I wasn't going to bother if it came up).

I have lost a large part of a day’s code due to a power outage. I was so into what I was doing I hadn’t noticed the length of time since my last backup. When the power came back on, I was able to reproduce what I had done from the morning in short order. The time I had spent wasn’t simply banging out lines of code. There is generally a lot of problem solving involved in building the algorithm and testing the code to assure it works.
To me it’s a lot like a puzzle, some puzzles can take a long time to solve but once you know the answer, it’s easy and can be done quickly.
But then again, I have met some developers who are lazy, overpaid jerks... 
It was broke, so I fixed it.
