     "That was fatal?"

I'm afraid... :
 * I even understood the Paula.
 * I wonder once you made all the achievements (and I think many people
would qualify), if you are a level+50 programmer or rather wombat ?

I am assuming that was a reference to Paula Jones, a judge on one of the 
amateur talent shows in the USA, who often refers to performers as "fabulous."

I don't think that's how achievements work on the xbox. :-)

Nope. Paula was (or worse: still is ?) a "experienced Java programmer
with strong knowledge of the shipping industry."

For the first few months, things seemed to be going pretty well. At the
weekly status meetings, Paula would report that good progress had been
made and things were looking good for the deadline.

Oh, man .... I've actually unlocked the Job Security achievement as well 
as a few others. Someone should make a plug-in for this :)
