"The value you will get out of this course will directly correlate with the time you spend outside the class in the simulation." "Putting more programmers on the project will increase the cost linearly, but increase the speed of completion only asymptotically." <BR/>In a simulation, they are necessary to nail down the gazillions of relationships that we take for granted. It is only when we have enough of them that they start to generate interesting observations.Clark Aldrichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02114766550628282842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10313978.post-1136933127818323882006-01-10T14:45:00.000-08:002006-01-10T14:45:00.000-08:00This is great.
