QA != Testing
gManZboy writes "Original author of Make and IBM Researcher, Stu Feldman has written an overview of what should be (but is sadly perhaps not) familiar ground to many Slashdotters: Quality Assurance. He argues that QA is not equivalent to 'testing', and also addresses the oft-experienced (apparent) conflict between QA-advocates and 'buisiness goals.'"
Twenty minutes later, each of the men awoke in a cell. An antidote to the truth drug had been given to each of them before David had left and locked their cell. Mac's powerful body jerked as his consciousness returned suddenly. The world spun crazily around his for a second, the cold over head lights making his head hurt. He choked and gagged almost vomiting for a moment. As the world slowed and the light became barable. He noticed the clear bell shaped plastic tube that now held his huge swollen cock captive. It surged and sucked pumping and teasing his very aroused organ.
Long thin dribbles of clear pre cum ran from his cock into the clear hose, it was already wet. And Mac realized that he must had orgasmed once already! The machine was used to collect sperm samples from the animorph specimens. He knew he'd seen it begin used by Norcott, his hands were bound tightly behind his back. Mac twisted and strained, his huge powerful arms bulging against his bonds. His wrist's ached an blood dripped down his hands. But the plastic restraints slowly began to stretch! A second load of hot thick man milk had sprayed down the hose, an a third was building. Before he at last was able to pull his hands out of the restraints. With his hands free he instantly began scratching..as he itched all over! Unstrapping the milker from his groin, he pulled the vacum tube off his throbbing member. His big low swinging testicles tingled, as his third load shot from his freed cock.
"What the shit?" Mac grunted as his cock began dribbling pre cum again almost at once. Powerful lusts flooded through his body and desire for release overcame him. Mac felt a warmth spreading from his guts, as he jacked his long hard cock quickly. Memories flooded back to him then as his third orgasm slattered cum on the cell wall. Rothman dildoing his ass, pumping the badger mans cum into him! "Rothman!" He snarled savagely. Glancing around quickly he idenified where he was. Holding cell block J5... of course Rothman couldn't move them far by himself! These holding cell's had a weakness...and the big security chief knew it...very well!
Mac Blocker didn't have time for what was happening to him, but he couldn't stop it either. He needed to escape, but his orgasm was beginning to build again. He was security chief of this damned place, did Rothman really think he could stop him by locking him up.
He looked down, something was happening to his cock, it was changing shape. His balls had already become huge and hung low and had a fuzzy grey covering of fur. Fur was growing all over his body, he watched, half fascinated and half horrified as his red human hair began to disappear beneath the tan and grey fur on his chest and belly. He rubbed and scratched his abdomen. He was growing carpet of badger fur on his chest and felt it growing on his back. He felt his face and realized that it was happening there too. If he could have seen himself in a mirror, he would see the beginnings of the distinctive black and white stripes on his face and his nose and lips beginning to darken. The backs of his arms were growing dark with fur.
He was brought out of his musings about his growing furriness by his aching cock. He watched it finish changing into the proper shape for a badger, not that he had ever noticed an animal's cock before, but he guessed this was the right shape, given what was happening. His cock was growing huge and it demanded attention. His mind became simpler in thought as he began to stroke himself with a clawed hand that rivaled that of the ursine animorphs. Lustfully, he began to lick and suck on his own cock. Inside of his mind 'Mac the Man', the extremely heterosexual human male, was disgusted by what was happening, but 'Blocker the Badger' was in complete bliss. He was reliving his swollen balls of he last vestiges of Mac's human genetics. Blocker the Badger kneaded and fondled his balls with one growing clawed hand and pumped the elongated shaft with the other. If Mac had, had a cell mate, male or female, he would be releas

Why? Would you expect the head of process quality of Ford to be able to spin off perfect HTML? And if so, why? It's not even related to his job.
:) and he hasn't had time to rework it.
Believe me, I've encouraged him to redo his site, but he wrote it using some MS product, which generates IE-only HTML (likely a requirement of any MS software
NOTE: This is a genuine question / request for advice. If you suggestions somehow suggest I can fix all of my problems by ramping up on an alternate skill set (Linux, Apache, PHP, Java, MySQL, PostgreSQL), I've already thought about it. However, I currently spend 4hrs a day commuting and I need to pay my bills, so that's not an option right now.
I've been creating web apps for 6+ years using ASP, SQL and HTML. I'm fairly attentive to detail, try to make sure my code is legible / portable / documented in-line, etc. However, I'm currently working on a monstrous behemoth of an application and the need exists for some way to automatically test my app out. Can anybody suggest free or trial-based tools/software packages that can help me unit-test my code before I submit it to end users from second-stage testing?
I would expect the head of process quality at Ford to know that quality means that the product does what it is supposed to do; that is, it conforms to specifications. In addition, I would expect the head of process quality at Ford to know that the World Wide Web is not limited to Microsoft software, but in fact has a set of specifications of its own. Whenever I write or update a web site, I run each page through the W3C markup validation service. I recommend that site to your (and his) attention; it is a good starting point for learning how to write good HTML, and thus quality web sites.
