I've seen some really interesting results with Cocomo models once we were honest with team experience, problem knowledge and technical expertise.
Of course I have NEVER worked on a project where the models were accepted because model calculated cost was NEVER the number management wanted to hear. All of those projects ran over the officially accepted estimate by 2-3X.
Sometimes management does this on purpose. Many projects don't get serious until they are 1/3 of the way into the project. This leads to shortened schedules in order to force activity earlier. Sometimes management does this because their even more senior management just won't accept the right answer but will pay for cost overruns once they are afraid of losing the sunk cost work already
How hard would it be to magnetically launch a 10 ton meteor out of the moon's orbit? Say 12 ton 1/6 equals 2 tons or 4000 pounds. Then add in the fact that there is no friction from air. It feels like something relatively straightforward.
Folks take the oath and sign up for the work. They know the time they will do if they break the rules. I'm not sure why clemency is granted in the situation where the person met the bar for conviction and was given a lawful sentence.
Do the crime, do the time. I don't understand folks whine about jail time when they break the law they knew about, possibly putting others in danger.
On one hand, older programmers have a lot of experience that means they aren't going to make the same mistakes they made in the past. This makes the ones that still retain passion extremely valuable.
On the other hand, older programmers are often not interested in keeping up with tech changes or changing the way they operate for "new" methodologies. I've seen plenty that went into management because (they admit) it was just too hard to stay technical.
IT is a business of continual change. Not everyone is cut out for that over the long haul.
Assuming someone didn't just accept Googles slogan as a statement of passion...
Why does someone think "coding" is just typing? Xtreme Programming isn't just about writing code. It is about the process of creating software. Yeah, I want you coding when you are working. You can go somewhere else if you are your view of coding is "typing" or if you want to spend 6 hours a day exercising like the person above.
My taste in clothing is different now than it was 10 years ago. It is a lot different than it was 20 years ago. I can't imagine any saying or look I'd like 20 years from now especially they way they (and I) age.
A Henna might be fun, maybe.
This has only been explained only about a zillion times. Vaccines are not 100%. Society relies on herd immunity to reduce the number of paths a virus can use across a large group.
Furthermore, people in 1st world countries are also less inclined to break people out of quarantine...
Do you have any evidence of this? There hasn't been a major contagious outbreak in most of the west for decades. I predict people well break themselves and their families out of quarantine in an attempt to "save them".
Linux O/S in cloud vs Windows O/S in cloud. It can be a big difference.
MSDN vs other IDE costs. Sure they bundle lots of benefits that are free to them but only used by some small percentage of those that want VS Ultimate features.
It would be interesting to see what they would find if they could run this on a bigger scale.
The biggest offender appears to be security appliances. Should the browsers flag security appliances?
Not to mention another senator from Nevada calling his own citizens "domestic terrorists" for basically trespassing.
You're talking about the situation where government agents backed down from confronting a person who was trespassing and stealing government resources and his armed thug friends? They backed down because of a fear of violence not because they revised their policies. The senator was right.
How did this get mod'd up. Its less coherent and more of a rant than the parent.
Right, because who needs to pass a law requiring a gun registry when we can just ask the NSA for a list on demand?
Oh, wait, maybe this is a BAD thing.
You gun nutjobs would probably be a lot more successful at making your case if you could string together at least 140 characters that make sense. Right now, people like you are actively keeping the phrase "gun nutjob" alive, and you're turning off people like me who actually support your position. I know it's asking a lot of someone with a room temperature IQ, but could you at least try to think before you click "post"?

Everyone other Verizon customer is paying so these folks can be heavy users. Doesn't bother me that bandwidth hogs get throttled or have to pay...
Makes sense. They took a bunch of obvious names out of play.

Agreed. I wish I had mod points.

Thanks for the links. I could totally see someone linking the sound to speed or power. They've already been trained for it.
Yes. Yes.
Save a bunch of time. Buy a netgear FVS type VPN router. You can get 4 port, 8 port and/or wifi.

I'd love to trade my poorly articulated comments how people are complaining about the wrong thing for mod points t mod up parent.
As opposed to regular browsing where you have no way of detecting these types of activities?

I'd ride a motorcycle. Its just far enough that I'd save a bunch of time not walking. Of course I'm always looking for an excuse to ride...
I'm married but I agree with your post. Never mod points around when you need them (sigh)

"outed" does have a negative connotation as if someone was hiding something.
From the Urban Dictionary: To reveal some previously secret part of someone's life.
Of course the original article doesn't say anything like that. It is the original poster's bias that added that phrase
