PROGRAMMING : Various
Now that I've had time to browse around a little (thank you Keith and Anne!!) I have a few articles of interest
Here is a really good article with Joel of Joel on Software talking about how the web has taken over even though it sux - a bit like windows :) Windows was 80% there when it took over the world, and now HTML is 80% there too. Does this mean that every new advance will be built on 80% technology?
And here is an article on Imaginate. Something written in COBOL recommended by Andy Hunt. I am reading it as I type (well, maybe not _as_ I type:)...Damn you Pete. Tell us how it's done!!
Want to know what papers to read about computer science and language paradigms. check this out then.

Tiest, a common "rule" in management is the 80-20 or Pareto principle. (you probably already know this - p>=0.8)
Basically, it takes 20% of the effort to reach the first 80% of results. I suppost that ROI drops off steeply after that, so we'll never actually get 100% results anywhere. Maybe that's why a "7" is cut-off at 85%. No point in trying harder than that, is there? :-)
