Polish the outside, tune the inside.

Only slightly apropos, but I was out for a bike ride on Sunday, and I saw a guy washing his car. He was busy polishing the inside of the fuel tank door (whatever the official name for that thing is).

The corollary to that is I have a pretty good sense of the rust the polish is trying to cover up. It's funny how the outside reflects the quality of workmanship on the inside.

And, uh, oh....
I tested http://codeproject.com the Google Testing app couldn't find the site.

Knowledge is power though.
EDIT
Worse yet. Just tested stackoverflow.com and it passed. Ugh!

That guy is a complete nutcase.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Research suggests that large IT projects are at far greater risk of failure than smaller ones. Users, managers, analysts, operations, and developers?

Too big, too soon.
Basically if you 10 projects with a budget of $.5m you will get more than if you try one big project for $5m.

There was a very frank question pegged towards Slashdot readers a few months back, which I happened to stumble upon just by chance during some Googling. By broken he means, "Why don't they accept every feature request/submitted patch?"

Gatekeeping gone wrong. Sure. It's an old story. Not just in open source.
There is StackExchange, for example. A gazillion users and hardly any votes. I've given up on contributing myself because of the gatekeepers. Same goes for Wikipedia and friends.
Still, they do well without most of us. So, thank you all for the effort.
