File Uploading Web Page.

Hi all,
                 Almost all mailing service is coming out with the upload limitation of 10 MB. So the users need to look out for an alternative if their need to transfer file exceeds 10 MB capacity. I was just looking the web for this. Almost many uploading web pages are available, I was looking for an user-friendly and secured web pages. The web page which satisfies such criteria is http://www.dropboks.com. I could rate this web page as 5 out of 5. The web page demands only for the authorization of user. The support of multiple file upload is provided. There is an option to provide the deletion of the file by dragging the file(to be deleted) to the trash icon at the bottom of UI. Hope you to enjoy the file uploading there.

Business Ideas?
                 I happens to see a website www.gigasize.com. I had not tried for it. There been two types of account one as free and other one as Premium account. The Free account holders are allowed to upload file to a maximum of 1.5 GB and the restriction is they could have the file only for 90 days. There is also an option to share the file. Let me analyse a situation, if a free user places some confidential information in his account and the account will expire soon on the 90 days. To regain the information, there is none other than the option to become a premium member.

Real Situation of Software Engineers

Extracted from urbaczewski.com

 

Software doesn’t just appear on the shelves by magic. That  program shrink-wrapped inside the box along with the  indecipherable manual and 12-paragraph disclaimer notice  actually came to you by way of an elaborate path, through  the most rigid quality control on the planet.   Here, shared for the first time with the general public, are  the inside details of the program development cycle.   

1. Programmer produces code he believes is bug-free.   

2. Product is tested. 20 bugs are found.   

3. Programmer fixes 10 of the bugs and explains to the testing department that the other 10 aren’t really bugs.   

4. Testing department finds that five of the fixes didn’t  work and discovers 15 new bugs.   

5. See 3.   

6. See 4.   

7. See 5.   

8. See 6.   

9. See 7.   

10. See 8.   

11. Due to marketing pressure and an extremely pre-mature product announcement based on overly-optimistic programming schedule, the product is released.

12. Users find 137 new bugs.   

13. Original programmer, having cashed his royalty check, is nowhere to be found.

14. Newly-assembled programming team fixes almost all of the 137 bugs, but introduce 456 new ones.

15. Original programmer sends underpaid testing department a postcard from Fiji. Entire testing department quits.

16. Company is bought in a hostile takeover by competitor using profits from their latest release, which had 783 bugs.

17. New CEO is brought in by board of directors. He hires programmer to redo program from scratch.

18. Programmer produces code he believes is bug-free….
