    Software engineering is "Do X, Y, and Z except when A, B, but not C except when A and B and when user isnt E except when user is E and A and B and X and Y are not Z but Z is B when F is ..."

    That was yesterday....We'll be sending you the updated specs soon.

  8. What were they thinking? on A Press Junket To Redmond · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'm not sure what MS thought they were going to get by inviting a "true believer" to their campus, but the article is pretty much exactly what you'd expect.

    int i = (int)x would convert the floating point number to its rounded integer equivalent.

    Count on it. The last item in their recent customer survey is very telling.

  19. Group project on Software Dev Cycle As Part of CS Curriculum? · · Score: 5, Funny

    I think there should be one project that the whole class contributes to. That way the students can get used to working with a bunch of morons.

  25. Re:Multiple Machines on Firefox 2 Downloads Top 2 million in 24 Hours · · Score: 1

    Corporate systems tend to use Windows Server Update Services, which downloads updates including IE7 once and then automatically sends them to every PC on the corporate network. So thousands of PCs will be updated with one download from Microsoft.
