    Apologies Alvaro, I thought we were talking about why it is important to know who the person really is. I wasn't interogating you. I am genuinely curious why you find it extremely important to know whether I am Paul Watson or not. Curiosity

    I see. :doh: It's actually not important at all. I responded that way because of the way you had responded to me, "Does it matter?". It came across as, "Who gives a f*ck?". My question was also in the name of curiosity. :) Peace! Alvaro

    :-D Got to love how terse communications over text can be so misconstrued. I certainly do give a fuck, it is interesting.

      It's just that Alvaro's faith has been shaken. Here he was, an innocent atheist, who believed in Paul Watson. Now you've changed your name. And know he's questioning if Paul Watson is your real name. So what's he to believe in now? Peace, Alvaro. Just having a bit-o-fun.

                              Yes it can! My pet hate is when people make the above statement, it implies that you expect your code to be buggy and already are thinking up excuses for the errors! The main reason for 'buggy' code is cost, to properly design, write and test costs time and money. I used to write software that had to run 24/7, it can be done.

                              Just because it runs 24/7 does not mean it is also free of "bugs." You may have thoroughly tested it, but that merely shows the presence of a bug, not its absence.

                                        You can't prove a negative. Elementary logic. So the statement "there are no bugs in this program" for a sufficiently large program is not verifiable.
