When estimating an application, I break it down into much smaller pieces. Then I estimate each manageable piece, which usually can be compared to some previous known effort. I will also estimate complexity of each piece and if there is something that is not well defined, understood, or done before, then I overestimate that portion. You'll run under on some and over on others, balancing out.
I also use a multiplier on the total effort based on how well defined the application and/or requirements are. This accounts for time spend not actually writing code.
I've been told before that I am the only developer that people have worked with that has a less than 1 coefficient on developer estimates. Meaning, I get it done in less than my estimate. Whereas other developers typically need 1.4 (or more) times the estimate. This is usually due to the fact that with the above stated multiplier, I've already factored in the 1.4 times the estimate.
My estimates are typically higher than the next developer, but I have a positive reputation of consistently come in under estimate and delivering on time.
To qualify for your rebate your must cut out the LED, send it in along with your completed rebate form, and hope it does not get crushed in the mail thus voiding the rebate.
Meanwhile the rebate company will be passing all rebate requests under a steamroller before processing.
1) Start working on a business plan 2) Train your replacement as BEST as possible 3) Collect your severance pay, use it as an investment together with an SBA loan 4) Go into business for your self 5) HIRE THE REPLACEMENT before they can train another replacement (if they are being paid 12,000, surely they would be enticed to work for a little bit more than that) 6) Company now has to hire your company as a consulting firm 7) Your replacement works for you doing your old job and in a sense you now have your old boss's position.
So in other words, this list is actually helping the DMA by improving their click through rate. Or in this case their no-click rate as the person on the other end will be less likely to hang up or waste their time.
From the article "ISPs will be expected to drop the attack traffic from their networks".
I'm guessing that ISPs will end up just disconnecting the entire network connection for the afflicted system, which of course will render the inability to update the patch or virus definition.
Thus, the endgame is that there will be no network left.

I would be willing to bet that more people outside of/. would read it then.
Really, how many/. people use AOL, how many/. people think they can make money helping out our Nigerian friends. Yet these things still happen, and make money on them./. users are the minority and I doubt that Yahoo is really considering the/. crowd as their target demographic.
AOL annouced earlier this summer that they were going to set up the ability for their users to run blogs, so now Yahoo has to do it as well.
Technically, there is not a word for the number. The key point being "A" word. There are multiple words that could be combined to represent the number. "thirty six trillion" is actually 3 words.
But then anything over 20 would be regarded as "so big" by this definition.
1) Take copyright work that you own. 2) Create a different artistic representation of it, say in 0's and 1's, in hex, or some binary type readable format. 3) Post artistic representation under freedom-of-speech guise 4) Visitor downloads art 5) Visitor runs a parser to convert artistic representation back to digital, playable format
And for some added fun... 6) Get RIAA to help you sue visitor under DMCA for reverse engineering your artistic representation. 7) Profit. Whoops, forgot there was supposed to be a ??? step somewhere in there. This exercise will be left to the reader.

Some geek finally figured out the best way to get a bunch of women to play video games while letting him study them doing so.

Not bad pay for that kind of work. Now to start filing my claims against every manufacturer of every game I've played.
So will be for being too addictive, some for being a waste of time.
I think we found that perpetually missing "..." step before "n. Profit!"
Since plants give off oxygen, if this had gotten large enough, he could have had a self sustaining oxygen supply without the need to breathe air...
Since the future of PC Gaming is in doubt as well, at least they will have plenty of company. I guess that leaves Facebook games FTW.

So, do this mean I can now officially call video gaming a disability, then collect insurance while staying home to play all day instead of working?
How about !Windows, cause then it could not be any clearer that is has nothing to do with windows.
Better yet...
1) Start working on a business plan
2) Train your replacement as BEST as possible
3) Collect your severance pay, use it as an investment together with an SBA loan
4) Go into business for your self
5) HIRE THE REPLACEMENT before they can train another replacement (if they are being paid 12,000, surely they would be enticed to work for a little bit more than that)
6) Company now has to hire your company as a consulting firm
7) Your replacement works for you doing your old job and in a sense you now have your old boss's position.

So Sun was right after all. The Network is the Computer.

Somebody needs to call up RIAA and convince them of the following:
1) All their copyright infringers are using Linux
2) Linux is apparently the same as SCO
3) Thus, the root of all their problems is SCO.
Lock RIAA and SCO up in the same room and let them fight each other. Now that would be a reality show worth watching.
Oh great, now another telecommunications medium will be /.'ed

So the solution is obvious: use my new IPv5 Protocol.
Maybe this will catch on better than my 3-digit year idea...
This just looks like a homebrew of a mass duplication device manufactured by Cedar Technologies (http://www.datasure.com/cdrpubl.html)
Remember DeCSS?
1) Take copyright work that you own.
2) Create a different artistic representation of it, say in 0's and 1's, in hex, or some binary type readable format.
3) Post artistic representation under freedom-of-speech guise
4) Visitor downloads art
5) Visitor runs a parser to convert artistic representation back to digital, playable format
And for some added fun...
6) Get RIAA to help you sue visitor under DMCA for reverse engineering your artistic representation.
7) Profit. Whoops, forgot there was supposed to be a ??? step somewhere in there. This exercise will be left to the reader.
