	FDA warning label on joint cement preempts tort claim - Brooks v. Howmedica, Inc., 273 F.3d 785 (8th Cir. 2001)
		Brooks argued that her claim was not preempted because the duty to warn is a general obligation applicable to all devices, and approval by the PMA or NDA does not impose specific federal requirements with preemptive effect.
		Brooks appealed, arguing that her general common law duty to warn claim was not preempted and that the NDA and PMA are not specific federal requirements with preemptive force.
		Brooks is correct in her assertion that a claim of failure to comply with FDA regulations is not preempted by the MDA, Lohr, 518 U.S. at 495, since such a state claim imposes no requirement "different from, or in addition to" any federal requirement.

	Brooks' law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However, Brooks' Law does not mean that starving a project of resources by employing fewer programmers beyond this point will get it done faster.
		The other common way around the constraints of Brooks' Law is to segment the problem into smaller sub-problems, each of which can then be solved by a smaller team, and to have a top-level team that is responsible for systems integration.
		Brooks' Law's applicability to other disciplines varies depending upon the nature of the work.

		Brooks, as separate property, his interest in the tangible assets of the law firm, but characterized his goodwill in the firm as community property valued at $93,115; it was awarded to Mr.
		Brooks contends that in a professional corporation the shareholder spouse contributes labor, primarily; thus, any goodwill is a return for community labor and therefore should be characterized as community property.
		Brooks' law practice, not just the goodwill, as community property, since he was in law practice only about 4 years before marriage and 13 years after marriage.

		Brooks appeals arguing that (1) the district court improperly granted the motion and (2) the district court abused its discretion in refusing to allow him to present evidence that his co-workers believed he was better qualified for the promotion than the person selected.
		Brooks points to three types of circumstantial evidence to show that the Commissioner's reason was pretextual and gave rise to an inference that he was not promoted for race and gender reasons: (1) he was better qualified for the team leader position than Ms.
		Brooks argues the district court erred in granting judgment as a matter of law after denying the Commissioner's motion for summary judgment.

		Brooks attempts to establish that because we have the Spirit of God, "the Christian is at liberty to respond freely to the call of worship." This is his deduction based on passages that establish that we as Christians are led by the Spirit and not under the Law of Moses.
		Brooks' argumentation is that he has understood freedom in Christ as license to do as the "Spirit guides him" or some such thing, and yet with a closer examination we have seen that freedom in Christ is "freedom from:": freedom from death, freedom from sin, freedom from the yoke of the law.
		Brooks must provide some reason to believe that IM is a thing in which there is the assurance of things hoped for and that it can be a part of the conviction of things not seen, otherwise it cannot be of faith, and therefore it must be of sin.

	Second-system effect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In computing, the Second-system effect or sometimes, more euphoniously, second-system syndrome is when one is designing the successor to a relatively small, elegant, and successful system, there is a tendency to become grandiose in one's success and design an elephantine feature-laden monstrosity.
		The term was first used by Fred Brooks in his classic The Mythical Man-Month.
		Brooks noted this effect when comparing IBM's 7000-series operating system with the later 360-series operating system.

		Brooks obviously cannot get around the Biblical truth that for sin to equal lawlessness, and that Christians are to obey God, and obedience to God requires avoidance of sin, there must be some way of defining actions that are of obedience and actions that are against obedience and therefore sin.
		Brooks' faith in Jesus ought to be an obedient faith, and an obedient faith would require him to live by the standard of authority established by Christ.
		Brooks maintains his misunderstandings of law, faith, and liberty, and has in no way proven that a Christian is authorized by the Scriptures to use instrumental music in worship to God.

		However, this method relies on the segmentation of the problem is correct in the first place: if done wrongly, this can make the problem worse, not better, by impeding communication between programmers working on parts of the problem which are actually closely coupled, even when the project plan has decreed that they are not.
		Recently, it has been argued that the programming practices associated with open source software development may allow open source projects to appear to defy the predictions of Brooks' Law, by having extremely low communications costs which greatly increases the value of N at which communication costs become the bottleneck.

	IEEE Software, From the Editor
		Brooks’ law is based on the idea that communications overhead is a significant factor on software projects, and that work on a software project is not easily partitioned into isolated, independent tasks.
		Brooks argues that, on balance, more effort is lost to training and additional coordination and communications overhead than is gained when the new staff eventually becomes productive.
		For Brooks’ Law to be true, the amount of training effort required from existing staff must be significant.

		Brook also managed the development of the IBM 360 Operating System." Note that while manager of the 360 project it was Dr. Brooks who specified that a byte would consist of 8 bits.
		Brooks' writing style is fairly dry and formal — seemingly the prose comes to the reader from the time of Arthur Conan Doyle rather than from the time of the Rolling Stones — and this serves to intensify the perception of antiquity.
		Brooks, though, had to play the ball where it lay at the time he was writing and so would not have seen some possibilities we enjoy today as being legitimate or responsible then.

		This law is based on the well-known fact that adding agents in parallel seldom increases the work performed in direct proportion to the number of agents.
		Brooks gives a version of this relationship, namely that the number of man-months to complete a software project is proportional to “complexity” raised to the power of 1.5 (equivalent to the case where f = 1/1.5 = 0.667).
		According to the Law of Diminishing Returns with f = 0.5 (corresponding to the square-root, SQRT of the Span), it is: ESQRT = 100 ((A-1)/A) (A-1)0.5 / (A) (%) (2) The middle term is equation (1), with A-1 substituted for the number of workers and 0.5 for f.

	Brooks Law and open Source
		Brooks received the Turing Prize, often called "the Nobel Prize of Computing," from the Association for Computing Machinery this year.
		"Oversimplifying outrageously, Brooks' Law [can be stated] as 'Adding manpower to a late software project makes it later.'" In other words and with mixed metaphors, art and artists cannot be rushed, and too many cooks will surely spoil the broth.
		Fredrick Brooks himself may have the final say about how software development should be understood: "Programming is fun because it gratifies creative longings built deep within us and delights sensibilities we have in common with all men." That is a happy thought that is sure to please many in the open source community.
