I think that one of the factors making it so difficult to produce accurate estimates on software projects is their usually high levels of variability. There are often so many big differences between projects and it's hard to consistent

I think it's understandable why programmers dread doing estimates so much. But I believe there are multiple factors contributing to the current overall mess and the guilt should be shared among several areas -- and that includes us. Es

Putting it in another way: imagine you are sick and a doctor can recover your health. The value they provide is unmeasurable. However, there are many of them able to help you recover, and they charge differently, based on a number of factor

I totally share your values and agree when you say there are folks causing problems during their attempts on dodging their duties. On the other hand, I didn't see this sort of bad attitude on the OP's side. He's looking for a

I believe so, I'm not sure. Customers, in general, don't abuse such right, and I've never come across cases of extremely evident mistakes like these. However, in case a customer demanded such "premium", I believe yo

Indeed. With so many credit card frauds over there, that would be the first thing occurring to me.

I'm not aware of how the French laws treat such matters. In my country, for each unduly charged cent, a company must reimburse two if the customer demands so. Such prank would've automatically costed them a good amount.

I read both, as much as I can. I'm currently reading fiction and essays written by Mia Couto (portuguese is my mother tongue). It's been a long time I don't read a book which thrills me right at the first page. Highly recomme

Thanks for the heads-up! In my use case, files are shared between different instances of the application, usually without user intervention, but there's an attack vector to be addressed here.

That would be cool indeed. Besides, depending on the reliability of the available internet connection, it might be also useful (and easy) to add an embedded mobile connection as a fail over. I know a guy who had some issues for that reason.
