    No I am programmer, I don't run fast

      You can if your language's "object" definition supports IDefenestratable - most real world modelling systems do :-)

        A good example of encapsulation.

              that's easy, you run outside and retrieve the old microwave - then put the coffee machine in it, you are not thinking the problem through

                At an interview, a programmer is asked what he would do if the microwave would catch fire. He says he would throw it out the window. Baffled, the interviewer asks "okay, what if the coffee brewer catches fire?" And the programmer replies "Put it in the microwave and throw it out the window, as we already have a solution for that problem."

                Good solution, incorporating the principles of both re-usability and encapsulation.

                    he would do nothing - its a hardware problem

                      Who said speed matters? That'd be premature optimization. ;P Of course, you could simply install a spare microwave to catch the exception.

                      GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them. (Fran Poretto)

                        Clearly not a real-time programmer then! It's not a question of optimization, it's a question of a race condition.

                        Life is like a s**t sandwich; the more bread you have, the less s**t you eat.
