    Communists have the unique distinction of killing approximately 100,000,000 people in the last century. Revolution, class warfare, and the extermination of class and state enemies are a pattern repeatedly demonstrated in communist rule, often followed by attempts to export the revolution to other places. It is built into the ideology.

    The Soviet Story is informative. - Excerpts

    When a kinder, gentler communism arises, a "socialism with a human face," the brotherly "socialist," i.e. communist, nations invade to set things straight.

  4. Large Projects Fail- Small Projects never get News by cbelt3 · · Score: 1 · on Struggling With Major IT Projects
    Sure- large, monolithic projects often fail. For the same reasons that large, monolithic anything often fails. IT projects, development projects, governments, all have this in common. Despite all the highly paid consultants and theorists (who seem to specialize in incompetence and high billing rates), this basic fact of human nature still keeps keepin on.

    Smaller projects succeed more often, involve smaller risks, shorter schedules, and faster results. Open source software development projects are an interesting combination of small and large projects- essentially a small project (one coder, one mission, one plan) turned into a large project by the overall project environment.

    I'd like to see Gartner Group say something about that, but I know they won't. The don't get any consulting coin from the OS community...
