V (and T) Day: A Loving Reminder About Testing and Verification

Lovers out there: it’s that time of year. Those of you with partners or others (whether actual or potential), in accordance with the rules established by the United Capitalists of America, will soon be boosting the profits of chocolatiers, florists and card sellers (or even teddy bear and lingere shops). No getting around it. Even though all year long you periodically and randomly shower the people you love with love—on their birthdays, your anniversaries, gifty holidays like X-Mas and, if you’re really romantic, Super Bowl victories—you are REQUIRED to once more proclaim your affection, adoration, addiction and love. You have a deadline and it approaches. Get to work. V-Day is here.   . . .
