In IBM there&#39;s a religion in software that says you have to count K-LOC=
s,<br>
and a K-LOC is a thousand line of code. How big a project is it? Oh, it&#39=
;s<br>
sort of a 10K-LOC project. This is a 20K-LOCer. And this is 5OK-LOCs. And<b=
r>
IBM wanted to sort of make it the religion about how we got paid. How much<=
br>
money we made off OS 2, how much they did. How many K-LOCs did you do? And<=
br>
we kept trying to convince them - hey, if we have - a developer&#39;s got a=
<br>
good idea and he can get something done in 4K-LOCs instead of 20K-LOCs,<br>
should we make less money? Because he&#39;s made something smaller and fast=
er,<br>
less KLOC. K-LOCs, K-LOCs, that&#39;s the methodology. Ugh anyway, that alw=
ays<br>
makes my back just crinkle up at the thought of the whole thing.&quot;</blo=

I also note some cases where text containing layout elements are too<br>
narrow for the content included and text is sloppily spilling out of those<=
br>
elements and overlaps the body element. =A0I have not seen it yet in my<br>
brief view but the hazard is that text spilling out of one element will<br>
overwrite text in other text containing elements. =A0This problem is eviden=
