    Bad engineering - from office to execution.

  6. Re:How about this... on HEVC Advance Announces H.265 Royalty Rates, Raises Some Hackles · · Score: 1

    I am sure that my Macbook Pro i5 was not designed to be 100% CPU all the time. Or maybe it was however Apple's marketing forgot to tell us to use it as a stove top too.

  7. Re:But since nothing is CPU bound on Intel Releases Broadwell Desktop CPUs: Core i7-5775C and i5-5675C · · Score: 1

    So you have an expensive piece of equipment that runs on XP. Do you need this XP instance to connect to internet?

  16. Re:Maybe now Testers will have budget. on How Healthcare.gov Changed the Software Testing Conversation · · Score: 1

    Except for one project that I destroyed with performance testing, leading to a huge re-factoring, the others always get delayed to correct all serious bugs.

    But it was, as always, management decision. Postpone or release with bugs?

  17. Maybe now Testers will have budget. on How Healthcare.gov Changed the Software Testing Conversation · · Score: 1

    I'm a developer that has been working as a tester in the last 5 years.
    Always coding to run performance / load / whatever not manual testing.

    In my experience working at bank or big publishers, my main problem is always budget.
    Enough money for everything except the right number of people testing, the right tools or infrastructure for testing, and so on.

    I don't expect that was different with healthcare.gov.
