"measuring variations in a star's movement" Not sure what the primary means of doing that is, but I think it includes Doppler shift measurements of the star's light.

"There may not be intelligent life on the planet yet" Sounds pretty similar.

I installed dokuwiki on a raspberry pi and forwarded port 80 through my router so I can access it from anywhere and send links to others. Oh and there's a dns entry setup using duckdns.org, which is free, although I did send them a sma

> what would it look like? That's the raison d'etre of the raspberry pi, which appears to be really popular... with middle aged men who grew up with the ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64 and Amiga!

Sure, that's the legal environment we find ourselves in, and in many respects it's short sighted and counter productive, i.e. it actually fosters weak security in critical settings and the chance of those weaknesses being taken ad

Yeh gravel shifts significantly once you get pools of water forming. Gravel roads need annual levelling work even for low traffic routes.

Ha! But that is the quote that gets repeated, i.e. it's been 'optimised' to aid viral/meme transfer, but not optimised in meaning :)

I agree with the general point, however, I believe it's commonplace for software to be poor on those other metrics you mention too, i.e. the one metric that /has/ been optimised is development cost. All of the optimal outcome

I've idly thought of writing a 'manifesto for quality software', and/or trying to start some kind of political-esque movement to that effect. I get annoyed by having to reboot my TV or radio when they freeze up, or by ha

Fair point. I suspect that that subtlety to the rule is often lost to the reader. Perhaps a rewording is in order that puts emphasis on the conditional part (i.e. what constitutes premature)

I think I agree. E.g. it could be argued that the creditors were making an investment judgement in lending the money - and in this case that judgement turned out to be wrong, i.e. your investment went bad, the money longer exists, tough. A
