| 63aa29d | Regular users know nothing about program languages or varying exchange protocols. They just want the thing to run. So Microsoft invented a way to bundle executable programs and data, the DLL, that allows them to be smoothly exchanged by computers on different networks. | Mark Bowden | ||
| f215ffc | the Tet surprise was regarded by Westy as proof of Hanoi's weakness. Nowhere in his understanding of the war was there room for the size and quality of the force that had taken Hue. So the MACV in Saigon and General LaHue in Phu Bai simply refused to believe it had happened. Reports that contradicted this high-level understanding were dismissed as unreliable, the cries of men facing real combat for the first time, and panicking. Against the.. | Mark Bowden | ||
| dcfb22d | But modern malware is aimed less at exploiting individual computers than exploiting the Internet. A botnet-creating worm doesn't want to harm your computer; it wants to use it. | Mark Bowden | ||

| bf8e432 | In a well-maintained system, it might take a while to figure out how to make a change, but once you do, the change is usually easy and you feel much more comfortable with the system. In a legacy system, it can take a long time to figure out what to do, and the change is difficult also. | Michael C. Feathers | ||
| afb3f01 | Encapsulation is a good thing, right? Well, don't ask testers about that; they are liable to bite your head off. Classes that are too big often hide too much. Encapsulation is great when it helps us reason about our code and when we know that certain things can be changed only under certain circumstances. However, when we encapsulate too much, the stuff inside rots and festers. There isn't any easy way to sense the effects of change, so peo.. | Michael C. Feathers | ||
| 38926a4 | How do I test private methods?" Many people spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to get around this problem, but, as I mentioned in an earlier chapter, the real answer is that if you have the urge to test a private method, the method shouldn't be private; if making the method public bothers you, chances are, it is because it is part of a separate responsibility. It should be on another class." | Michael C. Feathers | ||
| f7dd37f | Big classes can hide too much. This question comes up over and over again from people new to unit testing: "How do I test private methods?" Many people spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to get around this problem, but, as I mentioned in an earlier chapter, the real answer is that if you have the urge to test a private method, the method shouldn't be private; if making the method public bothers you, chances are, it is because it i.. | Michael C.

| 2343b8f | It works far better," Jane went on, apparently still intent on berating him, "when you trust those people with the truth. When you give them all the facts." Her tone put him on the defensive. "You mean, the way you did when you told me about Nancy's disappearance?" Jane paled. "Well...that was different." "How so?" He approached her with a scowl. "You left out the important fact that she might be pregnant. If I'd known, we would all have le.. | Sabrina Jeffries | ||

"For letting me question her. For not turning all investigator-like and bellowing questions at her. I know she'll have to face plenty of that at the trial." "I'll keep her out of it if I can, but if the choice is sending him to prison or covering up the scandal--" ".. | Sabrina Jeffries | ||

Little Becky had known enough not to ask if there was going to be a Banana Republic or a Gap there, or a Tower Records or a Starbucks or a Tweeters or a Blockbuster or a Super CVS or a Saks. Her mother only mentioned museums and concert halls and churches and architecture, so .. | life | Nancy Clark | |

Both sides of it had high stone walls and the driver stopped so the visitors could walk down a short distance to see the famous twelve-sided stone which was part of it. Each girl counted the sides and marveled at the way the ancient stonecutters had trimmed this enormous rock to accommodate the ones fitted around it. The young tourists noticed that all the stones were so perfectly fitted that.. | Carolyn Keene | ||

I mean . . . maybe you can tell me about something I lost." Madame invited Nancy to sit in the chair facing her. She waved her hands in front of Nancy's face. "I can see your name begins with a P. Is it . . . Patty?" Nancy heard Jessie begin to laugh. "It's Nancy," Nancy said. "Nancy, Patty--close enough," Ma.. | Carolyn Keene | ||

The girls waited three minutes before backing out into the main highway and then turning into the adjacent road. Though the automobile ahead had disappeared, tire prints were plainly visible. The road twisted through a stretch of wood-land. When finally the tire prints turned off into a heavily wooded narrow lane, Nancy was sure th.. | Carolyn Keene | ||
