Not only do I find if hilarious that the biggest liar on the Silicon Investor .... Mr. angel, would have the balls to say such a thing, I find it equally hilarious that the posts I made regarding error rates on manual projects vs. automated toolsets are completely accurate. FYI. ==== 1. CSGI still expects* to have a ZERO error rate. In fact, I would put their toolset up against anyone else* 2. A few months ago CSGI announced the first every fully automated conversion project that was successfully finished and tested. Yes this was the Millenium Conversion Project, now we have the Motorola project, and soon we will add the Telenor project. 3. A while back the Gartner Group put out an est. of 2 to 4 thousand errors per 1 million lines converted. However, those were early numbers based on code converted manually. I believe that there is no set industry standard for the companies such as ALYD or others who have access to tools. The numbers should be dramatically less. In any case, even if you have 1 to 100 errors per 1 million lines, that will cause problems. The real issue here is what will be the source of these errors? I believe that most errors will be "human errors", i.e. the more dependent your tool is on having "bodies" to do conversions, the more prone you are to having errors. Hey, did you even read this statement ? The Gartner Group had originally estimated 2 to 4 THOUSAND errors per 1 million lines of code. Hey angle, get your head out of your ..... CSGI had just ONE Furthermore, any idiot knows that manual conversions will have more errors than those conversions done with automated tools. The more your solution depends on bodies to convert code, the more errors you will have. YES, THIS IS STILL TRUE. I find your post laughable and probably one of the most unintelligent posts I have ever read on the Silicon Investor. MOTOROLA finished testing the code ConSyGen sent to them and they are extremely happy with the project. The only thing you can find to make a b.s. post about is one single error. You make me laugh.

Angel- OFF TOPIC Form S-8 Proposal Form S-8 is used to register securities for offer and sale to employees of the issuer in a compensatory or incentive context. Revised in 1990, the form has since been used improperly as a means to sell securities to the public without the correct investor protections outlined in Section 5 of the Securities Act. Fraud occurs in the following manner: The issuer of Form S-8 registers the securities to consultants or market-makers (market-makers: dealers who match buyers and sellers and help finance trades) who then act as statutory underwriters to sell the securities to the general public. As compensation, the registrant issues the consultants securities for promoting or hyping the registrant's securities. This practice promotes fraud by compensating market-makers who hype the issuer's stock. A secondary problem is that often times the market-makers know little or nothing about the security they are trading and as a result provide a disservice to the investor. The SEC proposals would deter Form S-8 abuse by: Clarifying that Form S-8 status is not available for sales to market-makers who directly or indirectly promote or maintain a particular company's securities. Disclosing to the public those advisers who are receiving stock from Form S-8 clauses.
