Our public website is a billboard... Most of the hard core "design" we
did in the past revolved around making different systems and languages
"talk" to each other...

Here's the deal.. I will stipulate that "one week and ten grand" was a
wild exaggeration for effect, but I made my point. If you understand that
most of the problem with the ACA website was that too many different
companies "shared the wealth".. (Probably half the money went to the
paperwork you need to fill out to write a website for a local college for
**** sake....) The problem was, too many companies, with different
operating proceedures and structures for building a site, it was a case
of "too many cooks spoil the broth". If one company had taken a team and
written the thing, I still submit it could be done for a million or
two.... probably less...

You just have to get by the source here, and look at the facts... The
fact is, the project was so splintered, it never stood a chance...


Just lease the software from a company that has already written and
debugged the software. Writing the software could maybe done for a
million, but the testing and verification would take a lot more money and
time. Was a problem with UNIX for years. Lots of the drivers were written
as college papers. They did not handle exceptions well, if at all. Those
are harder to test.


Yes, verification is really the hardest part we ever faced taking
input... Either way, you have 50 companies in on this that don't
necessarily talk to each other...

There is a way to do it, and I know how to do it, but...

FlaJim. There is a way to NOT insert that note into outgoing clean

Let one of the other right-wing turds help him. I'm sure a first-class

That is so stupid it's beyond belief!! Just what you describe is done
all of the time, all over the world!


Not stupid beyond belief. Is why we have a lot of bloated bad software.
Write a " hello, world " program for windows and just see how big the
program is. All the class defining, windows subroutine calling. Why you
now require a gigahertz speed, terabyte drive to run a home computer and
get any throughput.


Oh horse****! Windows is bloated because most people didn't know how to
run a computer until they could click on a picture with a mouse. GUI it's of disk space.
takes the computing power.


Bull****. PARC developed the GUI and they ran on XTs. Go back to the
original MAC and Windows GUIs and tell me how they did it without 2 gigs of
memory and 500 g. The ultimate GUI is most of the shooter up games.
Nowhere near the relative memory required to run WORD.
