When traveling in the US, I'm always amused at the reactions of disbelief, horror, aggression, and utter incredulity when I propose that their country isn't the greatest in the world. After all, they likely hear or are told every

Any approach to representing a complex problem or system in code,is like any tool - only as good as the person using it. Given a really complex problem domain, functional decomposition and data modeling have their own issues. Other than an

I can't help consider the hypocrisy. Would a newspaper be seized, and the founder arrested, if some classified advertisements in the newspaper happened to contained stolen property? Is simply hosting torrent files illegal?

Imagine two solutions to a problem. One has a main procedure that orchestrates itself and other code to work things out and do things. This is the way most people organize their problems into code. The second is a set of independent intell

What an object does when it receives a message is hidden, and entirely up to that object. >>> All in all, this seems to be a whole lot of syntactical hair splitting Or, simply a case of not understanding.

It is entirely accurate. The UK parliament is "supreme", and cannot be bound by previous parliaments. This principle is the basis of the UK constitution. http://www.parliament.uk/about/how/sovereignty&#x2

Part of the issue is that people have differing perspectives on computing. One half, see it in terms of computer and data science. For these, data-structures, algorithms and ADTs are paramount. Organization of the problem is through modula

A "method" is just a programming construct. A message in OOP is sent to an object to tell it to do something itself . In an OO approach, rather than have a Hammer hit a Nail, the Hammer sends a message to a Nail which knows how

I think the original EU (EEC) idea of a free economic trade zone was one that members could share and embrace. However, the Maastricht Treaty in 1993 went too far in "uniting" countries which do not have shared values, cultures a

I'm somewhat unclear why management consultants are hired. 1. Is it to help management solve problems they can't themselves solve? 2. Is it to show and teach how to manage? 3. Is it to help improve the management process and organ

I also think it important to understand the nature of the environment your problem is in, because it so much flavors the approach and the solution. If in computer and data science, emphasis is on algorithms, data structures and ADTs. But if

My take, is that this primarily attempts to address one of the key criticisms of use cases - the granularity issue. Use cases are often too broadly written initially. When examined closely, one discovers that that the use case presented r
