			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I need to buy a new Mac system for video editing with Final Cut Pro. I plan to edit professional-level quality projects on this machine. An iMac is much more cheaper than the Mac Pro but the tradeoff is that you can&#8217;t expand it or upgrade it&#8217;s video card. The vid card it comes with is decent but I&#8217;m trying to think of the long term. So my question is, how important is a video card to doing video editing and rendering, and probably some graphics work as well. Thank you!<br />
<br />well the latest apple macbooks are very good in their graphics department. i have used a mac pro (early 2010) and my macbook pro (late 2009) stands pretty good against it. video card is important when it comes to rendering the movie and the exporting depending on the size and lenght of the video you are working on. but you could get any of the macbook pros (depending on your likeness of size of the laptop and budget, the bigger they are the more stuff they have) not only because you can take the laptop anywhere but because they are very strong and durable machines. ive had mine and edited movies as long as one hour and i havent had a problem. best of luck with your decision.</p>

<p>Does anyone know where I can find one online?<br />
<br />Hello, i did see some answers here are quite practical and realistic. Anyway, you can either make one by yourself if you know flash or you can download some from millions of flash animation websites, like newgrounds.com using a simple flash downloader like this one: http://www.swfkits.com/flash-downloader/ you decide and have fun!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&quot;Software is a product like any other result of engineering methodologies. Software development needs the structured application of scientific and engineering principles in order to analyze, design, construct, document and maintain it. Like any engineering development, large-scale software development also requires the disciplined application of project management principles. Making Software Engineering Project Managers more aware of a variety of available project management techniques; and helping them to plan, organize, staff, direct and control software development projects. Here you need to discuss that how Software Engineering facilitates the Software <a href="http://www.projecttemplates.co.uk/" target=_self>project management</a> applications to provide more reliable and quality softwares?&quot;<br />
please answer soon thanks<br />
<br />Your question opens a wide field: relationship of software engineering and project management.<br />
For large software development projects, or IT projects in general, the typical linear project management approach (represented by the &quot;waterfall model&quot;) seems to be inappropriate. IT project management rather follows the &quot;spiral model&quot;, although many steps of project planning are applicable in both models.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi I am working in a company where we want to set up quality parameters for a new project we have planned a method which is not that much encouraging </p>
<p>For e.g. We have 28 set fields for quality and if an agent does not meets 1 set his quality will be 27  when we calculate the quality by using  No. of RFT after error(27)/Total number of set fields * 100</p>
<p>27/28*100= 96.24% Quality which is less than the benchmarlk of 99% Please can you all input your comments how to do better quality to meet benchmark of 99%</p>
<p>Thanks<br />
Animesh Das<br />
<br />I think you should mark the deviation and lastly add all and calculate the percentage. This way if a product is just below average in one field but exceptionnally well in others will also get selected.</p>

It stretches credulity that there would have been problems, if the software quality assurance plan had been obeyed.<br />
So someone probably ignored the software quality assurance plan.&quot;<br />
<br />Nothing done by people is ever perfect.<br />
There is a famous poem that went something like the following.<br />
The best laid plans of mice and men often go astray.<br />
I am not saying that the plans were followed.  I was not part of the project.  I believe in using SQA plans but they are not a silver bullet.  What I am saying is that you have not eliminated all other causes of the problems.<br />
Russian spies have recently been found in the USA.  I do not mean to leave the impression that this is the reason for the problems.  I am only raising this to point out that there remain other reasons.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Venus Project presents a bold, new direction for humanity that entails nothing less than the total redesign of our culture. There are many people today who are concerned with the serious problems that face our modern society: unemployment, violent crime, replacement of humans by technology, over-population and a decline in the Earth&#8217;s ecosystems.</p>
<p>As you will see, The Venus Project is dedicated to confronting all of these problems by actively engaging in the research, development, and application of workable solutions. Through the use of innovative approaches to social awareness, educational incentives, and the consistent application of the best that science and technology can offer directly to the social system, The Venus Project offers a comprehensive plan for social reclamation in which human beings, technology, and nature will be able to coexist in a long-term, sustainable state of dynamic equilibrium.</p>
<p>http://www.thevenusproject.com/</p>
<p>1. Realizing the declaration of the world&#8217;s resources as being the common heritage of all people.</p>
<p>2. Transcending the artificial boundaries that currently and arbitrarily separate people.</p>
<p>3. Replacing money-based nationalistic economies with a resource-based world economy.</p>
<p>4. Assisting in stabilizing the worlds population through education and voluntary birth control.</p>
<p>5. Reclaiming and restoring the natural environment to the best of our ability.</p>
<p>6. Redesigning cities, transportation systems, agricultural industries, and industrial plants so that they are energy efficient, clean, and able to conveniently serve the needs of all people.</p>
<p>7. Gradually outgrowing corporate entities and governments, (local, national, or supra-national) as means of social management.</p>
<p>8. Sharing and applying new technologies for the benefit of all nations.</p>
<p>9. Developing and using clean renewable energy sources.</p>
<p>10. Manufacturing the highest quality products for the benefit of the worlds people.</p>
<p>11. Requiring environmental impact studies prior to construction of any mega projects.</p>
<p>12. Encouraging the widest range of creativity and incentive toward constructive endeavour.</p>
<p>13. Outgrowing nationalism, bigotry, and prejudice through education.</p>
<p>14. Eliminating elitism, technical or otherwise.</p>
<p>15. Arriving at methodologies by careful research rather than random opinions.</p>
<p>16. Enhancing communication in schools so that our language is relevant to the physical conditions of the world.</p>
<p>*****</p>
<p>There more, but this will do for now <img src='http://www.projecttemplates.co.uk/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> .<br />
<br />People that call The Venus Project a &quot;utopia&quot; or talk about &quot;human nature&quot; don&#8217;t know what they are talking about.  Watch this 15 minute video (in 3 parts) and then try to use arguments like &quot;there is no such thing as utopia&quot; and &quot;it&#8217;s against human nature&quot;:</p>
<p><object width="500" height="306"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/H5HNXNXUzz8?version=3"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/H5HNXNXUzz8?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="500" height="306" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>In the world of The Venus Project (TVP), there are no leaders or governments making decisions.  We&#8217;ve tried that for thousands of years and history has shown shown humans are too fallible and that leadership always leads to corruption.  The more power, the greater the temptation for corruption.  If you don&#8217;t understand how society can operate without leaders and governments, then you haven&#8217;t learned enough about TVP.</p>
<p>TVP will not be forced on anyone.  People don&#8217;t need to get defensive about their love for the &quot;stuff&quot; they&#8217;ve amassed.  People can stay in their current homes in constant need of repair, keep wasting their lives in traffic commuting to work meaningless jobs they hate, and collecting designed-to-fail material possessions that sit in their garages and closets.  No one is going to come kick down your door and take your stuff.  </p>
<p>The TVP transition idea is that efficient and intelligently designed cities will be built with the most advanced technologies and materials available, and our most current understandings.  People can choose to come live a new stress-free life where everyone treats each other and their surroundings with respect, or they can stay in the old cities.  Try the new TVP cities and don&#8217;t like them, I doubt it, but feel free to go back to the old cities if you like.  No one is forcing anything on anyone.  The idea is that once people see TVP cities operating at such high levels of efficiency and abundance and personal happiness that they will grow and grow in popularity.  Everyone is welcome to join, unlike our current countries trying to keep everyone else out.  TVP is a whole new world of personal freedom that most people today can&#8217;t even imagine.</p>
<p>Nothing like TVP has ever been attempted before.  Read that Wiki link about the &quot;Road to Serfdom&quot; book.  It begins:</p>
<p>&lt;quote&gt;The Road to Serfdom is a book written by the Austrian-born economist and philosopher Friedrich von Hayek between 19401943, in which he &quot;warned of the danger of tyranny that inevitably results from government control of economic decision-making through central planning,&quot; and in which he argues that the abandonment of individualism, liberalism, and freedom inevitably leads to socialist or fascist oppression and tyranny and the serfdom of the individual.&lt;/quote&gt;</p>
<p>That doesn&#8217;t describe TVP at all.  In fact, it quite closely resembles the path with world is on with our current governments &quot;stimulus spending&quot; and &quot;bail-outs of corporations that are too big to fail&quot;, meanwhile taking away people&#8217;s rights and freedoms in the name of the constant &quot;War on Terror&quot; (going on 10 years now, do you feel safer?).</p>
<p>Implications trying to associate TVP with eugenics is fear-mongering.  No supporters of TVP would ever agree to eugenics and such practices are certainly not needed.</p>
<p>Certainly the rich and powerful will not sit back and let the world transition to a resource based economy like TVP.  They would certainly lose control and would become regular people, just like the rest of us.  Thankfully, we&#8217;ve got the numbers on our side.  Less than 15 of the world&#8217;s population is them, and the rest is us.  As soon as we get tired of playing the rat-race game they created for us, we can shape the world however we want.</p>
<p>Of course, the hard part is getting the word out there and opening people&#8217;s minds.  At this stage, there is enormous resistance.  Everyone complains about their lives and society and governments and the tragedies around the world, yet as soon as people start talking about changing the world for the good of everyone, they dig their heels in and stand-tall for that same system they will continue to complain endlessly about.</p>
