There is no silver bullet with Agile. Plus, the fact that Agile doesn't scale well at all would make it unsuitable for many IBM projects I should suspect.

That said, many Agile-like practices could really help in some situations.

Too late, buddy. Should have thought of that before you jetted into that test tube.

Most guys get into this problem by shooting into a vagina... which is much more fun for the few seconds that the male orgasm lasts.

Actually, what I typed is not in any way like your statement at all.

...the moment he fertilized her ovum. He is the biological father, he is half responsible for these children if they are born.

Didn't get the job - the reason is because their evaluation criteria is heavily skewed on academic CS skills: sorting, data structures, stuff like that. It is a good system, but it tends to filter out guys like me who have been in industry for decades and cannot remember the details of merge sort. They readily admit this aspect - at least they did to me.

Also, the writing code into a shared Google Doc was a bit cumbersome to say the least. Even though my stuff turned out to compile and run (and get the right result... I cut and paste into a dev env afterwards to verify... which I thought to be incredible considering I cold typed it into the equivalent of MS Word) I didn't get the gig. C'est la vie.

It taught me to never go cheap again.

Dell and HP have enterprise staying power, Panasonic Toughbooks are basically an industry standard.

Whose basement will you live in then?

The vendor recently updated the default password to "166832".

Because they are awesome!

F yeah!

Ha! So it would seem! When I thought about it at all I thought Tor Project was a bunch of civvies out of MA who were Stallmanesque EFF types.

Sorry to burst your fantasy bubble, but both DARPA and NSA are components of the Department of Defense.

Google the following statement: "selling out."
