Unreferenced date December 2009 Orphan date February 2009 Continuous obsolescence or perpetual revolution is a phenomenon where industry trends, or other items that do not immediately correspond to technical needs, mandate a continual readaptation of a system such work does not increase the usefulness of the system, but is required for the system to continue fulfilling its functions. Continuous obsolescence may be unintentional. One type of largely unintentional case of continuous obsolescence occurs when the rising demand for graphics and experience intensive videogame s collides with a long development time for a new title while a game may have been acceptable or even revolutionary if released on schedule, a delay exposes it to the risk of being unable to compete with better games released during the delay e.g. Daikatana , or even being continually rewritten to take advantage of better technologies as they become available e.g. Duke Nukem Forever . This last behavior is an example of a software development anti pattern . Continuous obsolescence may also be intentional, for example when an application tries to include compatibility for the output of another widely used application. In this case, the software house responsible for the latter may vary its output format repeatedly, forcing the developer of the former to continuously expend resources to keep its compatibility up to date, rather than using those resources to expand features or otherwise make the product more competitive. Many accuse Microsoft of doing exactly this with the file formats used by its Microsoft Office Office application suite. Continuous obsolescence may get its name from the Extreme Programming concept of continuous integration .

Orphan date February 2009 Obsolete stock or stock obsolescence calculations are done by companies to determine how much of their stock on hand is unlikely to be used in the future. The financial value of stock obsolescence that is calculated can be entered into a general ledger system to create a stock obsolescence provision which can reduce the tax liability of a company. For this reason, a systematic and auditable approach to designing a stock obsolescence report should be used. Estimation of stock obsolescence without any traceable calculations will probably not be acceptable to an auditor. Typically, a stock obsolescence report uses the value of stock on hand as a starting point, and then reduces this value based on the potential that stock will be used up in the future. The higher the probability that stock will be used in the future, the more the on hand stock value can be reduced. Sometimes a historical usage of the item can also reduce the value, in this case, the more recently the item was used, the more the on hand value can be reduced. The formulae that calculate how much the on hand value can be reduced by may vary from company to company and are normally described in a general way in the GAAP Generally Accepted Accounting Practices for that company or country. For example one formula may be If there is any future usage of the item in the next 3 months then reduce the value by 100 , if there is usage in the next 6 months then reduce by 50 , and if it is only going to be used in a year s time then reduce by 10 , if it has been used in the past 6 months then reduce by 70 , if there has been usage in the past year then reduce by 30 . Some formulae may also take into account the volume used e.g. reduce the on hand value by the percentage of product used in the past 6 months.

The CAMiLEON Creative Archiving at Michigan & Leeds project was a joint undertaking by the University of Michigan and the University of Leeds to develop and evaluate a range of technical strategies for the long term digital preservation preservation of digital material suffering from digital obsolescence . The project was funded jointly by the UK Joint Information Systems Committee JISC and the US National Science Foundation over a 3 4 year period from 1 October 1999. The UK component of the project was completed on 31 December 2002, the US component finished on 30 September 2003. The project s first case study was the multimedia BBC Domesday Project created by the BBC between 1985 and 1986. The BBC published this work on Laser Discs in LVROM format, which can now be read only by a few machines, and there were fears that the data would become unreadable. The method proposed by CAMiLEON to recover the data was to emulator emulate the obsolete hardware using modern equipment. CAMiLEON has successfully produced a system, DomesEm, that emulates the original hardware and allows the discs to be viewed.

Unreferenced date August 2009 The net domestic product NDP equals the gross domestic product GDP minus depreciation on a country s capital economics capital goods. Net domestic product accounts for capital that has been consumed over the year in the form of housing, vehicle, or machinery deterioration. The depreciation accounted for is often referred to as capital consumption allowance and represents the amount of capital that would be needed to replace those depreciated assets. Thus, NDP estimates how much the country has to spend to maintain the current GDP. If the country is not able to replace the capital stock lost through depreciation, then GDP will fall. In addition, a growing gap between GDP and NDP indicates increasing obsolescence of capital goods, while a narrowing gap means that the condition of capital stock in the country is improving.net domestic product is calculated by NDP GDP Depreciation. NDP is the sum total of money value of final goods and services produced in a country on an accounting year excluding depreciation cost.
