Extractions: I mentioned last time that the goal is to ship a product with the highest known probably is better, but you cannot say for certain right after you check in your change that it absolutely is better. You may have inadvertently introduced a different problem by fixing the issue you were dealing with. That kind of bug is called a "regression" - the product quality has regressed (decreased) as a result of trying to improve it. So the goal is to get the product to a known state of quality before you put it out there. To maximize the known quality, the process we use in Office and the rest of Microsoft for the most part is a staged reduction We know that statistically our testing process flushes out most regressions within about 3 months of the time they were introduced. Since there is such a long lead time, we start reducing the number of changes months before our expected ship date. Of course usually regressions are found within a day or two if not sooner because we test specifically for them, but some of them lurk, as I have explained. If a regression is not found by the special "regression testing" done specifically to try to catch these, then that area of the product may not be revisited for 2-3 months as the test team works on other areas, hence the long period.

One day, a large banking conglomerate bought up the small bank. After this, Jack noticed that his deposits weren't being listed. He went into the bank to talk to them. It turned out that his account number, which had been assigned to him when the bank was independent, was identical to Borden Industries' account number with the conglomerate. Yup, his penny-ante deposits were going into Borden's account. He thought it was straightened out. A week or so later he went in to cash a check, and asked for his balance. It was: $9,238,345.35. Ulp! He thought of a new Piper, but settled for a copy of the printout. He's got it hanging on his wall... GIBU: Garbage in, Bucks out? Ron Wanttaja (ssc-vax!wanttaja) Wed, 11 Feb 87 0:15:16 EST

Extractions: Israel Since the beginning of time and the entry of man into the universe, ways and means have constantly and persistently been sought to improve the quality of life on our planet. That search has been the golden thread running throughout the history of mankind: from the caveman wielding his club for protection and hurling his spear for food and clothing, to the present day wherein technology, in all its manifold facets, has risen, and is rapidy continuing its ascent to heights beyond the imagination even of those who set its early course. If one takes but a cursory glance at world history, it is readily seen how the development of society has brought in its wake ease, comfort and leisure activities which, in this era of super-modernity, are tended to be taken for granted by those who are fortunate enough to enjoy them. Technology, in ameliorating the conditions of life, offers countless benefits to mankind. It is true to say, therefore, that the harnessing of technology for man's activity, ingenuity and inventiveness has had, and is continuing to have, an ever-increasing deleterious affect on the conditions of life on earth. In the field of technological endeavour a price has been exacted in terms of pollution and other environmental hazards, the negative affect on ecology in general, the terrifying means man has developed for his potential self-destruction, and the inevitable stress and strain imposed on the mental and physical health of mankind.

Extractions: FROM PAPER TO PCs A s we head into the 21st century, the phrase "we are what we eat" could be more aptly expressed as "we are what information we process." Indeed, by the year 2000, it is estimated that 2/3 of the United States work force will be involved in information-processing activities1. The skeptics among us should consider the explosive growth and popularity of the Internet: In 1969, there were four computers linked on the Net, today there are 30 million. With each passing day, electronic data can be stored in larger quantities and transmitted faster than the day before, and for less money. As clinical research practitioners, we may soon be accessing computer-based medical records, attending investigator meetings from our computer terminals, and downloading protocols and CRFs from our sponsor's Web site.
