Where can I learn more about pros/cons of various pricing models for software development? Proponents of agile methodology suggest approaches such as multi-stage contracts, target cost contracts, target schedule contracts, shared benefit contracts, variable scope contracts (http://poppendieck.com/agilecontracts.htm). I'm looking for opinions, experience, case studies or informed discussion of these approaches.

I feel like anything that can be developed using OO/functional languages can be generally made 'better' using a prototype based language, because they appaer to have the best of them all: high order functions, flexibility to simulate any OO structure, productivity (low verbosity) and scalability because of concurrency. But it seems like they are avoided for the creation of executable applications and of bigger projects in general. Why that?

Keyword analysis has to be one of the most important aspects of SEO. It does not matter how strong your link building is or if your on-page optimization is perfect, if your SEO efforts are not targeting a keyword with the right volume and low enough competition, you will only get a fraction of the traffic you could be getting.
Many people who are just beginning to think about ways to start an online business don't have a lot of extra cash just laying around. After all, they want an online business to make money, not cost them money they may not be able to spare. So they look for ways they can make a website for free.

When logging in lubuntu 12.04, my background image always disappears, leaving the screen with color only and then I have to go to definitions and set the image in the background again.
I notice that this does not happen with low-resolution images, only with high ones, but also happens with images that fit my screen resolution (1280 X 720).
Any ideas on how to fix this?
The image remains at it's location, but on the desktop preferences, the pathway to the file location is lost and set to none.

Sometimes I have heard that Exalogic is just a bunch of servers connected using infiniband, something that you can easily build yourself at a lower cost.
That comments misses completely 2 things:
1) What is the idea behind an Oracle engineered system, and the back that Oracle provides for them
2) What is Exalogic
This amazing 5 minute presentation explains Exalogic potential:

How do you go about explaining refactoring (and technical debt) to a non-technical person (typically a PHB or customer)? ("What, it's going to cost me a month of your work with no visible difference?!")
UPDATE Thanks for all the answers so far, I think this list will provide several useful analogies to which we can point the appropriate people (though editing out references to PHBs may be wise!)

Outsourcing became quite popular in the 1990's as companies raced to reduce costs by moving non-essential functions out of the corporate cost structure. One of the main methods for doing this was to outsource. The basic business case to move any function to a subcontract was quite simple. Subcontractors that focus only on one thing have probably developed a deeper technical understanding of the process and are more effective. Economies of scale allow the outsourcer to provide the same (or higher quality) service at a lower price.
This highway is traversed everyday by roughly 338 million Chinese Internet users. With the largest population in the world of 1.3 billion, the increase of Chinese Internet users in the next years would undoubtedly be viably incremental. Reaching out to an established and growing target market of that size and potential at a relatively lower cost of advertising makes for a lucrative ratio.
One of the biggest mistakes people make when they are trying to get more visitors to their site is the fact that they try and hire out SEO firms to do all the work for them. In this article I want to show you why this is a bad idea that can cost you a lot of money.
In an effort to save on costs and to ensure that the process is done to their liking, a lot of company websites are engaging in doing their own search engine optimization (SEO) analysis as well as the search engine optimization themselves. There is a positive and negative side to this cost saving aspect.

<b>Serverwatch:</b> "At this rate, it will not be long before you have no choice at all, and when alternatives disappear that offer something different -- lower cost, higher performance, better reliability -- it's bound to be bad news."
<b>The Register:</b> "Duke University in North Carolina is where Usenet began, and today the institution is shutting down its Usenet server. The college cites "low usage and rising costs" for the decision."
Using relevant keywords in your heading tags along with inserting anchor text links as an internal linking structure you are optimizing your website for better search results (SERPs). I think we all understand the value in a page one ranking of an internet search that cost you nothing.
With multiple people attending the classes, the cost for training is usually spread out among the participants. While there may be extra costs associated with hosting a workshop, usually workshop pricing is significantly cheaper than one-on-one training.
