While everyone are impressed with hourglass traffic light it is the worst idea listed. I mean good luck with all those color blind drivers and pedestrian.

Perhaps we should make it illegal to be color blind?

Well you got that Point!
But what about a Traffic light hourglass that consists of green yellow and red. Every part is its "own" as green pours into yellow into red? 
edit: them typos!
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

I like the Nightlight with Portable Glowing Orbs, seems like it might be useful for an old codger like me at night.
As I grow older I've found that pleasing everyone is impossible but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

Excellent for use in a sietch.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

Well in India, now a days there are count down timers for Red. People switch off their motor-bikes, scooters, cars on Red and can start just in time before it is green again. Saves fuel (probably)  , reduces pollution. So I like it.
|
|
|
|
|
So, these engines use less during starting then during running on a low speed?
Only reduces pollution if it saves fuel, which again, was unsure. I'd recommend leaving the vehicle running, without turning up the gas.

I saw once in China timer traffic lights... they are really useful and work really well in ultra-crowded places as people are ready to press the pedal as soon as the light goes green!

"Almost every day, there are software development teams finishing agile sprints who are left wondering what happened. How did we fail? Where did we go wrong?" from this wretched articlehttp://sdtimes.com/agile-requires-transformation/[^]
I can answer that.
'Agile' won't magically stop poeple from being thick as sh!t.
There is no substitute for competence.

Agile, SCRUM, fubar ...
The problem is that, as with most things, people don't do it properly. The last team I worked on tried to introduce what was then "the latest thing" (can't remember what it was called), but never followed the rules properly. As a result, not solely but it was a contributing factor, the project went TU, and it cost the company quite a lot of money to get out of the contract with our subcontinental develoment company.

I agree. At my last job we implemented SCRUM and tweaked it a little to work with us and it worked great. It helped us be much more productive. Many of the main principles of SCRUM I found were very helpful.

This point can't be overstressed. I'm not saying I'd want agile applied anywhere, there are instances where it'd be a disadvantage, but these aren't the sorts of day-to-day projects I've encountered in my life. Quite often I've heard people moaning about how agile doesn't work, normally based on a single poorly-organised "agile" project (or more correctly a free-for-all labelled as a particular agile methodology, most often XP). I've worked on a large waterfall projects - it worked but it involved a massive team working 50+ weeks over several months, it worked as it happened, but I'd say as a methodology it would be more likely to fail under odd circumstances. Pretty much the same team waterfalled another big project a year later, eventually the company had to pull out of the contract.
