      You all bitch and moan when someone posts a programming question here, I point out quite rightly that we have a design forum and you vote me down and proceed to answer Ravi. Away and raffle your donuts! :mad:

      You have my sympathy and apologies. I suppose we're all suffer from OCD when it comes to naming (there's a quite recent thread on that), so we replied without thinking. Voting you down seems a bit rash harsh, though. I'm innocent (of that, at least)!

              (This is not a programming question). I have a bunch of Foo objects, all of which are controlled by a FooManager. What would you name an object that controls a collection of FooManagers? [edit] Foo, FooManager and the manager of FooManagers are all processes in a distributed system.

              WhyTF did you start with that stupid name in the first place? And just what does 'Foo' mean anyway? You probably dont knmow, and you just use it because you think it makes you look cool because you read it in some crappy SW book written by an American, because, god knows, only an American would ever use it anyway. Fuck I hate computer nerdyness.

                    In general magical lore, some schools believe learning the true name of any entity give the magician full control over that entity.  I believe that actually applies to a significant extent in OOD.

                            This belongs to the design forum when you banish the endless questions on hardware, VS, and what not to the respective forums. Sure, you could have posted this in the design forum, but something like "What do I name this?" is not inappropriate for the Lounge IMO.

                            Cheers, Vikram.

                                      I said that much further up the thread and without the space in the name. I wonder if people will like now that you have suggested it, noone liked it when I did.

                                          (This is not a programming question). I have a bunch of Foo objects, all of which are controlled by a FooManager. What would you name an object that controls a collection of FooManagers? [edit] Foo, FooManager and the manager of FooManagers are all processes in a distributed system. [/edit] [edit] John C is right - this really does belong in the Design forum. I might have actually got more than a couple of useful answers if I'd posted there in the first place. :-D [/edit] Thanks, /ravi
