I'm reading this fantastic article, pertinent to half the discussions
on these lists. http://www.technologyreview.com/articles/mann0702.asp

I'd MUCH rather sit on the couch and read an article in a magazine
than look at my monitor anyway. Page turns beat scrolling hands
down. So I recommend the printed version but sometimes the web is
all we've got!

But the article is called
"Why Is Software so Bad (and how to fix it)"
The cover story for the July/August Technology Review.

But there are about 16 million lines of code in NT4.
coders make an average of 100-150 errors in 1000 lines (according to
this study)
therefore, there will be approximately 2 million mistakes.
