A project manager, hardware engineer and software engineer were in a car heading down a hill when the brakes failed. The driver managed to get it stopped by using the gears and a convenient dirt track.
All three jumped out and after peering under the car the hardware engineer said, "I see what the problem is and with this handy roll of duct tape I think I can fix it good enough to get us to the next town". The project manager quickly interrupted, "No, no, no. Before we do anything we need to decide on a vision for our future, figure out a plan and assign individual deliverables". At which point the software engineer said, "You know what, I think we should push the car back up to the top of the hill and see if it happens again".

NEW DELHI: Establishing the identity of any person would be a cell phone call away once the ambitious Unique Identity Project (UIP) becomes operational, perhaps making it the first such initiative across the world. The UIP, which aims to build a database on details of every Indian resident, will provide authorities to cross-check identities of persons they are dealing with using a cell phone, Unique Identity Authority of India (UIDAI) Chairman Nandan Nilekani said in New Delhi on Saturday. "If anybody wants to confirm the identity of a person, all he has to do is to take the thumbprint or fingerprint of the person on a cell phone and send it across to the central database and receive authentication within seconds," he said delivering the CSIR Foundation Day Lecture.

And you did the best that you could

And it wasn't enough
It was better to be lucky than good
