  3. Re:Marketing Opportunity on NASA's Bolden Claims NASA Is 'Doomed' Unless It Stays the Course To Mars (spacenews.com) · · Score: 1

    "and cost it out at $1 billion per launch. " Isn't this the same NASA that used to blow ~1B/Shuttle launch for a small payload into a low earth orbit? Enough said.

  4. COBOL Innovation! on 3 Open Source Projects For Modern COBOL Development (opensource.com) · · Score: 1

    "GnuCOBOL GnuCOBOL (formerly known as OpenCOBOL) is a modern, open source, COBOL compiler. It works by translating COBOL code into C and compiling the code using GCC. "

  5. I never found COCOMO particularly useful for cost predictions because you guess SLOC Instead of guessing FTEs. Reversing the process when you know the SLOC still has problems because COCOMO is nowhere near being reliable if the SW involved more than screen to database and reverse, such as significant math.

    I do a lot of online buying and most of the time I don't know where the actual vender is located but it unlikely to be close. Yet I never get rejected. How does this type of system accommodate this?

  8. Lawyers on Prenda's Old Copyright Trolls Are Suing People Again · · Score: 2

    Suing businesses for ADA non-compliance is a years old, very successful lawyer scam and none are ever disbarred! Please, let someone come up with actual instances where they have, I would love to hear about them. Remember, the fundamental purpose of the American legal system to keep lawyers wealthy, and judges are nothing but lawyers in robes. Just as dishonest.

    "4.4m households in Japan were left without electricity and three moderate nuclear meltdowns were triggered at the Fukushima nuclear powerplant." What would a major meltdown look like?

  10. Next Generation Cockpit on Germanwings Plane Crash Was No Accident · · Score: 1

    It will have a computer, a pilot and a dog: - The computer is there to fly the plane; - The pilot is there in case anything goes wrong; and - The dog is there to bite the pilot's hand if he tried to touch anything.
