	CPS108 - Why Software Jewels Are Rare (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		David Lorge Parnas' article is a longing for software jewels, rare software that is of superb quality.
		However, unlike what Wirth contends, Parnas believes that design is much more of an important factor than language in creating a good software, as most times the design team cannot choose (or create) their own language for a given project.
		Additionally, Parnas makes a very good case by pointing out that what designers really need to worry about is their design, rather than a particular language as Wirth argues.

	Software Fundamentals: Collected Papers by David L. Parnas (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		One aspect of 30 year-old writtings that may be a stumbling block for similarly aged programmers is that these works live in an iron world: where programs lived very close to their hardware.
		Parnas uses phrases like "4 bytes packed in a word" and "core" that seem primal (not to say that some folks aren't concerned with word-sizes and which endian, just that the overall percentage is much lower).
		Each paper is started off with an introduction from one of Parnas' peers (like Barry Boehm), giving the paper a connection to the modern state of Software Engineering, and trying to give the reader an understanding of just how seminal the particular paper was to the world of Computer Science and Software Engineering.

	The Dangers of Technological Development
		A respected computer scientist within the Department of Defense, David Parnas was recruited to join the panel of directors for the Strategic Defense Initiative, more properly known as "Star Wars." One of his first tasks was to study the feasibility of creating a computerized network to be used in the defense against nuclear attack.
		In a recommendation to the DoD, he revealed his findings and then promptly resigned from his position of leadership, citing that he would not support a futile project that not only would waste billions in revenue, but would also give the American people a false sense of safety.
		A man with strong convictions, Parnas refused to back down from blowing the whistle on technology in which he did not believe.
