Project management and design projects

Hi,

Is a project management certification useful for designers? I have seen
a few project management certifications - one at CompTIA [1] and another
at PMI [2].
I'm sure all design projects require some form of project management,
but do design projects require the rigor that these certifications
offer?

Exposing the Clipboard

Greetings all

In a discussion today, the topic came up as to whether a user with basic
Windows experience today would be familiar with the term "Clipboard".

The functionality we are trying to reveal to the user can be accomplished
using only the terms copy and paste. However, there is another level of
complexity regarding multiple levels of clipboard saves that we are trying
not to expose, even though they may help to clarify the underlying model
for the user. That is - in certain modes, the paste operation will paste
different items you saved in different locations.

what won't be I*offshore* outsourced

or another, to contractors.>>

I would change "literally" to "virtually", but otherwise I agree.

In my previous post, I was referring to offshore outsourcing.

Elizabeth, just clarifying before someone corrects her... :-)

Classified or otherwise sensitive government projects.

Possibly also, proprietary company projects.

"Things to say when you're losing a technical argument"

1. That won't scale.
2. That's been proven to be O(N^2) and we need a solution that's
O(NlogN).
3. There are, of course, various export limitations on that technology.
4. The syntax is idiosyncratic.
5. Trying to build a team behind that technology would be a staffing
nightmare.
6. That can't be generalized to a cross-platform build.
7. Unfortunately, the license would contaminate our product.
8.
