The book seems to be a little outdated - for example, i rarely see 
people defining setters themselves nowadays, especially when you can use 
attr_writer :pause . I'm not sure why they didn't pick up on what could 
be an infinite loop, or at least a loop that can repeat itself many, 
many times.

> Again this doesn't happen when i use similar code in Java...
I don't know why that is in Java - in C, Ruby, an infinite loop is going 
to consume a lot of CPU power unless you take precautions.
