Allways they have new ideas. ADVICE: Avoid giving them ideas ! 36. When you surround an army, leave an outlet free. ... Do not press a desperate foe too hard.

Now they must sign the agree upon specs. Any more new ideas, treat it as additional contract.

You mean you moved it to java.sun.com? How did Sun mislay their poll then? Re: What happened to the Java poll? codemunkeh14-Apr-08 7:27 codemunkeh 14-Apr-08 7:27  I wouldn't trust Java with some random strings from a VB app, never mind something as important as a poll. Probably timed out waiting on the JRE getting the IP address of the server and by which time, something had gone wrong and the app decided to hijack CP instead. Ninja (the Nerd) Confused?

Thomas Stockwell14-Apr-08 7:55 Thomas Stockwell 14-Apr-08 7:55  Chris was referring to the beta java.codeproject.com website that is being run in the (relatively) same manner as www.codeproject.com. The CodeProject is not affiliated with Sun microsystems. Regards, Thomas Stockwell Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.

AlexanderO214-Apr-08 6:47 AlexanderO2 14-Apr-08 6:47  Sometimes it's easier to complete the project and then create any docs. You shouldn't change docs continuously in this case. Re: After the project is complete ??? rastaVnuce15-Apr-08 2:18 rastaVnuce 15-Apr-08 2:18  Always it's easier to complete the project, and then create the docs. But... it's wrong and pointless. How do you plan to show the work is done and charge for it, when nothing is specified? A buffalo soldier, a dread-like rasta ! Re: After the project is complete ???

Mycroft Holmes15-Apr-08 21:56 Mycroft Holmes 15-Apr-08 21:56  I once wrote a set of Superbase apps (6 modules loosley related) which were in production for 4 years when the client wanted one rewritten into Delphi (their new corporate standard) and asked for the specs. They ended up paying more for the specs than the original cost of development. It was never written in Delphi as the then manager was sacked and it all dissapeared down a black hole.
