It's not mythical man-month: it's MIThical man-month.
On a more serious note: the mythical man-month is about adding people to a late project. The late project usually has substantial codebase that the newcomer has to get on terms with, and the colleagues
who would be able to answer questions (late projects used to under-documented as well) are too busy all the time, so the newcomers will mostly just annoy the old ones.
There's also the fact that all Google applications allow you to export your data to local apps, if you wish. The Open Office format export is quite nice in Google Docs
This has been proven mathematically with algorithmic information theory.
I guess you mean statistical learning theory. But it isn't that way: it depends on the complexity of the problem you want to solve. There's an optimal amount of complexity, and if your learning system has more or less complexity it will be suboptimal. (Having too many degrees in a learning system will cause overlearning and lack of generalisation capability.)
Keywords to google: VC dimension, empirical risk minimisation
I'm perfectly happy with applications that have a both graphical and command line interface. The GUI isn't evil, if the underlying software exposes it's API in some way.
Actions script is a dynamic interpreted, and it significantly limits its performance. Writing cross platform c++ code is significantly harder.* (Although, if you use a compilers by the same vendor it makes things easier.) I guess this demo was about to showcase their cross-platform gaming libraries. I guess 10% non-shared parts were responsible for the different user-interface controls.
* I guess it's more likely some c++ libraries with.net bindings.
A way to cap telomere's he's not going to see 144. Antioxidants can keep in-gene encoding errors low but when the telomere's unravel there's nothing we can currently do to reverse the effects.
Actually there's a graphology course at our university, you know the kind of that tells your personality from your handwriting, and it's lectured by a psychology Phd. A guy asked some question about double blind tests, and whether the scientific process was observed when discovering the "rules" that are taught, and the lecturer got really pissed off, defending herself and her science with some ad hominem (you know pathologizing the asker with some obscure psycho terminology). (I personally know this guy and there was some discussion related to it at the university mailing list as well.)
Well, the Rorschach Inkblot Test is still used, and publishing it on Wikipedia made some real controversy. Can you give a neurological explanation of its usage?
What's to stop this hypothetical country from maintaining a democratically elected government on any level?
Marxist-Leninist ideology.
By the way it's really nice to discuss hypothetical situations, but we had 40 years of that in Eastern Europe,China,Vietnam and North-Korea and none of them are democratic.
Anyway there's peacefule conversion from socialism to capitalism, but not the other way. The rich rather has a civil war than lose their property.

Until you try to do cross references.
Well with Ooo 3.2 and a dual core processor (2.6 Ghz AMD 2Mb cache ) it takes me around 4 seconds.
Well, if you're depending on some database schema that has been refactored, you better update your client.
So it depends.
If you go the .Net/Java route you (the developer) has the freedom to choose which makes sense for your application.
We have the best politicians money can buy.
Hey, have you ever heard the expression "Microsoft Standard"? (I.e. we do it this way, are big enough to ignore anybody, let alone share the specs.)
Still then, dynamic languages are harder to optimize because of missing type information.
The JVM is opensource and 96% of the standard libraries as well. (And there's this thing called openjdk.)
If you cover less people with the same budget, the few can have better quality care, big surprise!

Who said that all degrees are equal? Still it costs you a limb to pay for MIT tuition.

Computer, how can we decrease entropy?
Hey, why not disband the countries army then? Violence is not the answer, you know.
Well, he got 30%, but never could get 50%+1vote without cheating.
Ever heard of the shah of Iran?
Anyone who disagrees with a totalist government and lives under its authority is high profile.

No, you got it all wrong: non-ionizing radiation causes longer life expectancy and more college degrees.

I don't meant AIDS of course, because it was already on the other side of the dangerousness relation.
That's more than AIDs but less than car accidents (and a hilarious footnote compared to heart disease and cancer).
Yeah, but those aren't contagious.
Followers of the party called themselves communist, but the system they implemented was socialism.
