I believe that sleep, and other blocking operations will throw an
interruptedexception when interrupted. Keep that in mind.
I've tried the interrupt before while I was doing long blocking IO
operations. It didn't work, I realized, because I was handling the

means that methods that put the thread into a wait-state (wait, sleep and
such) get interrupted and these will throw an interrupted-exception. Some
(not all!) blocking IO operation may get interrupted as
