Try and get hold of some Jimmy Cliff too - something like Harder Road To Travel: The Collection as an introduction

Breaks Separation of responsibilities/duties[^] paradigm QA should be a separate function and there are lots of reasons why

I would hazard Offspring

SFW but horrific[^]

It might involve cricket paraphernalia but I don't consider T20 *Cricket ;P *Assuming best Geoffrey Boycott accent

There is more chance of the money going back in to circulation in the hands of the thieves, also big business doesn't do Tax in the UK thanks to their chums in power

It hangs around = Stalactite play = act the thing = it in hackneyed surroundings = stal (act it) e

One thing that code metrics doesn't really cope with is the complexity of the system. The design can only be built to solve the requirements (with a bit of future proofing if time allows), like most statistics they can give you a feel of what is going on but sometimes you have to trust your experience

Economies of scale[^] show why costs don't scale as you'd may expect especially around admin costs

I don't think everyone has got your meaning so Everything is always in the last place (it may also be the first place) you look unless you are daft enough to keep looking once you have found it ;P

Sorry to be such a nerd, according to ISO[^] it is

Quote: ISO

Our name Because 'International Organization for Standardization' would have different acronyms in different languages (IOS in English, OIN in French for Organisation internationale de normalisation), our founders decided to give it the short form ISO. ISO is derived from the Greek isos, meaning equal. Whatever the country, whatever the language, the short form of our name is always ISO.

please this is supposed to be a KSS site and you go and use language like Bi*ber on it - I need a shower now :laugh:

Not good but why is your failover server in the same location yet alone room as the production one? I am assuming cost constraints but still pretty much redundant.

Not set one up in a while but I used to use smoothwall[^]

I know that this is an old post, but I found it before I posted the same question (I was clearing out some old bookmarks to stuff that isn't relevant to me and I saw my rep go down) Whilst I am happy to lose my rep points as I no longer want the link, I do think it is a bit unfair on the bookmarkee to lose the points they gained as the article may still be of worth to others. Also if I re-upload code samples will I lose points ;P

Well it is a building with large windows....

I spy someone who watched last nights QI :)

Just wondering if you have extropolated the expected date of when the 10 Million member signs up - it would also be interesting to know how accurate you are with your prediction when the time cones too.
