As there is "nothing new under the sun," perhaps this is not really new, after all, but it struck me that programming is a lot like choreography, as coders must previsualize and plan the precise movements of multiple "dancers" so that they cooperate in space and time and, especially, do not collide with one another.
A case (or at least a six-pack) in point is the choreography that must take place between the server-side code (such as C#) and the client-side code (such as jQuery) in an ASP.NET or Sharepoint (or other type?) of app.
Unfortunately, while aspiring to a Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers-type of partnership, I often end up with what looks and sounds more like a mosh pit populated by drug-addled psychos.

So, Shannon, just why do you want to B Clay?

No, no, no. At first the dance starts. Then the lead pulls a bonehead move, and the second whacks him. All downhill from there

So.. does this mean you subscribe to the Three Stooge Choreography school of software design? 
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

Yes, I have always enjoyed making data dance.

The term actor is used a lot in OO programming... You can script the actors like you choreograph the dancers. However, I cannot think of a good match for:
dancer is to mosh pit as actor is to ?
I am stumped on that one.
OO note: mosh pit is a true aggregate!

dancer is to mosh pit as actor is to "reality" show.

But take satisfaction in the fact that at least yours are moving. The other guys are huddled around the pit wondering why everyone is dead.

Maximilian,
That reminds me of the following saying:

Erm...that is Fox News.

Why do people think that about Fox news? Daily Mail, perhaps, but Fox news is no worse than any of the other media outlets and certainly a lot more balanced than CNN or MSNB-hee-haw.

It is not something I "think", it is an opinion based on experience.
CNN is equally crap.

fox news is the only news service that is not owned and/or controlled by the far left. hence they will show news and not ask for permission to show first

Besides my (elsewhere in thread) note to you that Fox is explicitly NOT a news service, I note the following: The Radio talk shows, with the exception of PBS, are viciously right-wing biased.
Now, in another post (replying to one of mine) you mention the left-leaning bias of CNN. Now that I stream my news (instead of cable/broadcast) I get to see CNN International. They're views seem to be dominated by their major sponsor: Qatar (via its national airlines). Add to that the opening up of CNN Arabic, and their general misrepresentation of facts and it's not difficult to see their agenda. The question is, does one blame it on the left or the right, or perhaps call it what it is . . . oil that oil money was invested in buying Western media. In the past, they would even allow the PLO to approve "all" of their news releases.
What you have going on here is money buying news - which oddly enough fits a capitalist/conservative agenda quite well (re: PACS);

Sure you could do the same for the other networks as well though I notice that a lot of those 'errors' are being pushed by left wing sites (not all, of course). The one thing I do like about Fox is that when they have debates they invite people from both sides, not just the right, and give them full air time, including some very prominent Democrats. The others don't seem to do that.
