I don't know .. looking at this project, I can't easily envision it being
done in 1 to 2 days (it's rather ambitious). With 100 programmers and
database people .. maybe 2 weeks. I wish I had that many to try it. What a
trip that would be ;)

| 1-100 Fusecoders on the project. According to the mythical man month,

| speed for a mile the world record would be under 3 minutes.
|
| The reason this hasn't been done is that the human body can't pump
| enough blood and suck in enough air. BUT! If the human body was
| redesigned to solve those problems, the 3 minute mile could be possible.
|
| I'm about halfway through this book for the second time and I'm
| realizing that almost all of these problems Mr. Brooks has come across
| could potentially be solved with a handful of very sophisticated project
| management tools and a standardized methodology which we have already
| developed.
