The movie is properly HD, 720p (1280 px Ã 720 px). YouTube automatically adapts the quality setting depending on the quality of your connection.

I prefer: self should: [ self operationThatShouldFail ] raise: ASpecificError Otherwise you can just run the code itself: self operationThatShouldFail the test framework will take care of it and mark the test correctly as a failure.

Today I copied the files from the server to my local machine and opened a workspace starting to write an expression to open them.
