In IBM there'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'=
;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'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's made something smaller and fast=
er,<br>
less KLOC. K-LOCs, K-LOCs, that's the methodology. Ugh anyway, that alw=
ays<br>

I also note some cases where text containing layout elements are too<br>
