What was the codename for the project to create that system?
- Closi 5y agoProbably “Project Phoenix”. If you ask any project team to come up with a project name they will probably pick ‘Project Phoenix’.
- erhk 5y agoBecause all project work is reviving something that has been done before?
- jl6 5y agoBecause projects start in the smouldering ruins of as-is, and their business case is mythical (and if you want to rise in this environment you’d better be flame-retardant).
- wincy 5y agoNo dude because it’s a badass name. If it’s super cool you get to name it “Operation Dark Phoenix” which is even more badass.
- neuronic 5y agoNo, because all new projects are on fire from the get go.
- alasdair_ 5y agoBecause the product is mythical and it will all end in flames.
- TedDoesntTalk 5y agoThe Phoenix did not end in flames. It started in flames.
- richardw 5y agoIt’s immortal and cyclical. There is no beginning or end. Popular focus is obviously on one part of that cycle. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_(mythology) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_(mythology)
- HeyLaughingBoy 5y agoThat or NexGen/NextGen. Someone should do a study...
- exikyut 5y ago*Sigh* ...Telstra in Australia called the transition from its 3G network to 4G "Next-G". Why is this suddenly so depressing lol ._.
- mhh__ 5y agoThe British system were called Rainbow Codes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_Code https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_Code See this from the article: "During WWII, British intelligence was able to glean details of new German technologies simply by considering their code names. For instance, when they began hearing of a new system known as Wotan, Reginald Victor Jones asked around and found that Wotan was a one-eyed god. Based on this, he guessed it was a radio navigation system using a single radio beam. This proved correct, and the Royal Air Force was able to quickly render it useless through jamming." Read R.V. Jones book "Most secret* war" if this kind of war-engineering interests you. * Pay attention to "most secret" rather than the ghastly Americanism "top secret"!
