  4. is 20% hits good or bad? on U.S. Missile Defense Against Iran Makes China/Russia Mad, Might Not Even Work · · Score: 1

    Some physicists claim it only hits 20% of the time.
    I guess that problem is solved by raising the budget 500% and launching 5 anti-missiles for each incoming one.

  16. Re:Another broken marriage... on Ask Slashdot: Techie Wedding Invitation Ideas? · · Score: 1

    I am married to a non-geek, but geek is what I am. If you are not geeking after marriage probably you had the G gen on a recessive allele or some non-geekeness on you already.   With children it might just get better. My 8 and 6 got the G gen as well and we are three on the house now.

  18. Apply Murphy's IT project delivery law on Book Review: Sams Teach Yourself HTML5 Mobile Application Development · · Score: 1

    Take the unit you measured the estimate to the next unit. (hours to days)
    then multiply by Pi,
    24 days * 3.16 = ~ 76 days

    That's also why your "it's a 5 minute task" takes 15 hours.

  19. It's a great "linchpin" platform. on Ask Slashdot: Documenting Scattered Sites and Systems? · · Score: 1

    If you don't know what I meant by linchpin, read Seth Godin's book.

    In my IT times, there was a day that I was finger pointed (for the Nth time) of not providing enough training for new comers. (Me, the sole IT for a 30 people office).
    I setup an internal server with moodle (the learning platform),
    created a whole course in everything IT for the company, and of course, <buhaha>exams</buhaha>.

    The failure rates and the time to pass were [un?]surprisingly high.
    Due to the revolution I had let it be more as an optative learning tool instead of mandatory training.

    At least I got to say: -"see?" to management. And I quit after setting up my own little operation.

    That are aloof (as visible, but far),

    Long time ago in my IT days, I was called by a user who had a problem sending a fax.
    You could hear the remote modulated response.
    Out of the blue, I picked up the fax machine handset and started vocalizing something like fax parlance: -"pxzrrrbgt rgtbrbrpkt..."
    The user looked at me and said: -Wow! how can you do that?!
    She literally thought I was talking "fax".
    (And I hope she still does)

    And you want IT to relate?
