  1. Re:Bush Plan for Economic Recovery on TurboTax Activation Fiasco · · Score: 1

    Rather than giving money to improve poor families' circumstances, Bush gives it to big corporate America hoping that somehow it will trickle down until it reaches the ones on the bottom who really need it.

    How can the richest country in the world still have less of a safety net for it's people than many other and much poorer countries?

    Is making the rich even richer really the only thing that counts in this country?

    America is a great nation where young, healthy and hardworking people really get their chances, but the way this country treats it's poor and weak is a shame and a disgrace for this country.

  2. Control ! on Managing a Global Programming Team? · · Score: 1

    I've done it. With mixed results.

    I gave them the specs, and got shit back and did it myself.

    Then I tried with others again, and forced them to do daily progress-reports and daily chat-sessions and frequent versions I could test and that worked to a certain degree.

    The hourly rate sounds great, but if you calculate how much time you have to invest to control the bunch of fleas... it may be better to do it yourself.

    I noticed a strong tendency to make up for the low hourly price by either working MUCH slower or many more days than necessary.

    I worked with 2 companies in India and one in Bangladesh, the results were pretty much the same.

    Ultimately I MIGHT do it again, but only for non-critical programs.

    Without tight control, - forget it !
