I agree, the article and the post title are so biased.

I would have expected this topic to be discussed based on a more neutral article.

The chemichal weapons were used by the rebels, because they win with the U.S.A. involvement, the motivation couldnt be more obvious.

Obama is starting a war on false premises, just like Bush did in Irak, where no weapons of mass destruction were found.

The rebels have close links with Al-Qaeda and Hezbolla on the other side would seek retaliation against the intruders.

This is one of my most trusted sites.

I deeply respect most of its news anchors: @MaxKeiser, Abby Martin, @StacyHerbert, @EnglishPI, and the other i dont remember by name.

I find USA all mainstream news sources highly biased, except for TheYoungTurks, which i considered to be mainstream by now.

On Russia Today being a propaganda tool, I'd deeply disagree. Its quite the opposite, Russia Today its an anti-propaganda tool

After the Snowden issue I'm changing my views about Putin and I'm quite interested in all things Russia.

How Software Engineering Differs From Computer Science 306

Posted by Soulskill on Saturday June 06, 2009 @02:05AM from the read-comprehend-debug dept.

cconnell sends in a piece he wrote for Dr. Dobb's which "argues that software development will never be a fully formal, rigorous discipline, and the reason is that software engineering involves humans as central to the process." Quoting: "Software maintainability, for example, is the ability of people to understand, find, and repair defects in a software system. The maintainability of software may be influenced by some formal notions of computer science — perhaps the cyclomatic complexity of the software's control graph. But maintainability crucially involves humans, and their ability to grasp the meaning and intention of source code. The question of whether a particular software system is highly maintainable cannot be answered just by mechanically examining the software. The same is true for safety. Researchers have used some formal methods to learn about a software system's impact on people's health and property. But no discussion of software safety is complete without appeal to the human component of the system under examination."
