Re: ANNOUNCE: smokers@perl.org Discussion of perl's daily build and smoke test
jezz, this is nutso. the term smokers that schwern chose refers to smoking code as in testing it to see if it blows up in a blaze of flame and smoke. in the hardware world powering up a box or power supply for the first time is known as a smoke test (you don't want to see any smoke then). the name has nothing to do with tobacco or human smoking. so drop this thread. smokers is a fine name choice for a severe testbed system. does everyone get it? smoke is an established term in the testing world. uri -- Uri Guttman - [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://www.sysarch.com SYStems ARCHitecture, Software Engineering, Perl, Internet, UNIX Consulting The Perl Books Page --- http://www.sysarch.com/cgi-bin/perl_books The Best Search Engine on the Net -- http://www.northernlight.com

If you put the words together like this, you'll create an accidental association. p
