Black hole projects
I love this. Currently I have on my door this which I feel is pretty accurate for most enormous projects. My two problems with the above list are 1) that there is no way to determine which diamond in the rough is actually a superstar project which actually will end up working (though these are few and far between) and 2) people will think that only MS suffers these enormous black hole projects. While I concur, they have plenty, it's also because they just have an enormous amount of developers, so odds favor that they will have more. Whether or not they have more per capita remains to be seen.
