Reminiscent of the story narrated by a friend who works as a programmer and wrote all sorts of programs for the defense .... did some mega program and presented it either general, or colonel .. not what they say ... such a program and raztakaya fairly simple that's why the reliable, their counterparts are not equal, even superior, plus cheaper and stuff like that. The presentation took place somewhere almost in a tank firing range, so that was naturalistic. The program itself was installed on an armored (sorry) laptop. There is a presentation, one crucified about the program, and the general (let's general) said: what if the computer falls into the mud and it will be a company of soldiers? friend: well, okay, he then and shockproof, the program does not hurt, blah blah blah ... but what if there is a fire? but not terrible, not burn, the program will not hurt ... and then the question: what if a direct hit from a tank at close range? one thought, and realizing that the program in general, nobody cares about, sadly stated: "Well, if a direct hit from a tank at close distances, then, perhaps, the program will not work ......!" general left dissatisfied, said, "Poor program!"
