Boss: How long would it take you to implement a dialer for our customers alarm system in C++?
Programmer: Do you have any requirements I can take a look at?
Boss: No, but it is simply a dialer, so come on now.
Programmer: I won't be able to give you an estimate if I don't know what it needs to do.
Boss (angry): Well the alarm system has a 2K EPROM, so come on now.
Programmer: I can fill that EPROM with zero's or ones within 15 minutes for you, or does it need to do anything particular?
Boss (mad): Of course it does, you idiot, I just told you THE CUSTOMER NEED A DIALER!!!
Programmer: Hmmm, ok...

Boss: If we let that field as a Long integer, it will support the records amount we need?
Programmer: Oh, yeah. The long type is very large. Just to point out: on Date classes, Java uses long integer to store the number of milliseconds from 1970-01-01 till now and it's far from overflow...
