word of the day [Nov. 14th, 2007|10:59 am]

From Jargon File (4.4.4, 14 Aug 2003) [jargon]:

creationism
 n.

   The (false) belief that large, innovative software designs can be
   completely specified in advance and then painlessly magicked out of
   the void by the normal efforts of a team of normally talented
   programmers. In fact, experience has shown repeatedly that good
   designs arise only from evolutionary, exploratory interaction between
   one (or at most a small handful of) exceptionally able designer(s) and
   an active user population -- and that the first try at a big new idea
   is always wrong. Unfortunately, because these truths don't fit the
   planning models beloved of management, they are generally ignored.

Asshole of the World: Tijuana, Mexico. It is thus labeled because it is dirty, smells like shit, has high crime and drugs, corrupt police officials, and has few redeeming qualities. However, due to its close proximity to San Diego, one can often find sailors and Marines enjoying the lower drinking age, cheap booze, and loose women.
