-The online casino games are of variations. The first type uses web based interfaces whereas the second type uses downloadable interfaces only. In web based interfaces ?????? bj88 the participants can have fun playing the online casino games directly in the local computer system, without downloading any additional software. In the second type software really needs to be essentially received. Online casino will give you money and fun. Attempt not to think as this is online casino and or they have found that cheat. It isn't possible.
+Software design comprises many similar tasks. There are plenty of design decisions that are similar to ones taken before. UP tells that a design is good when similar design problems are solved the same way. UP can be applied to a large variety of problems: naming identifiers, ordering parameters, deciding upon framework or library usage, etc.

+Striving for consistency and always using the same solutions also means that it can be a good idea to apply a "bad" or less-well suited solution for the sake of consistency. If for example a bad naming scheme is used throughout the whole project, it is advisable not to break it as an inconsistency in the naming scheme would be worse than applying the bad naming scheme everywhere.
-So, should you have succeeded in a webpage when practicing the game, you will have it better. The game support you you get the fun or the money you'll want to locate. At the same time, you just obtain the satisfaction that you will look for.
+For documentation UP means to have a consistent documentation structure such that a certain piece of information can be found easily. Furthermore uniformity in naming schemes is especially important for documentation. When referring to the same concept the same word has to be used. Synonyms are a source of misunderstanding.

The graphics in the mobile casino was nice, the set of games was rather authoritative. The interface is useful for a joystick, will be convenient. Online game speed is common like in Microgaming mobile casinos, about half an hour per 100 hands. The traffic seemed to be within the limits of 150 Kb per 100 hands resulting in 200 Kb the downloading.
-Options trading involve significant risk of loss and may not be suitable for everyone. Options & cash investing arenas are separate and distinct and will not necessarily respond in switching the way to similar market stimulus. A movement globe cash market would not necessarily move in tandem with the attached options contract being sold.
+===== Rationale =====
+Following UP reduces the number of different solutions. There are fewer concepts to learn, fewer problems to solve and fewer kinds of defects that can occur. So the developers, whether the original ones or the maintainers, have an easier task in creating, understanding, and maintaining the software. By reducing variety in the design, the software becomes simpler (see [[Keep It Simple Stupid|KISS]]).
+Documentation which follows a fixed structure helps you find a certain piece of information faster because as soon as you have understood the structure you know where to look.
+===== Strategies =====
+  * Use the same naming scheme everywhere
+  * Use the same techniques, mechanisms, libraries, and frameworks everywhere
+  * In similar methods use the same order of parameters
+===== Caveats =====
+UP demands solving similar problems in the //same way// and not just in a similar way. This is crucial as subtle differences can be dangerous. These small differences are created easily. Sometimes it is impossible to do two things exactly the same way. And also over time two modules may slowly diverge. So it is sometimes better to have two modules work completely differently than to allow for these subtle differences as they easily lead to misconceptions and mistakes (see [[Murphy's Law|ML]]).

+===== Origin =====
+This principle is newly proposed here. Nevertheless the idea is not new and should be pretty intuitive to every developer.

+===== Relations to Other Principles =====
+==== Generalizations ====
+  * [[Murphy's Law]] (ML): A typical source of mistakes are differences. If similar things work similarly, they are more understandable. But if there are subtle differences in how things work, it is likely that someone will make the mistake to mix this up.
+==== Specializations ====
+==== Contrary Principles ====
+Note that UP can be contrary to virtually every other principle as it demands neglecting other principles in favor of uniformity.
+  * [[Keep It Simple Stupid]] (KISS): Although UP normally reduces complexity, sometimes UP demands more complex solutions because they are already applied elsewhere and for the sake of uniformity shall also be applied in simpler contexts where they would not be necessary.
+  * [[More Is More Complex]] (MIMC): Documenting something because of UP may result in unnecessary documentation. There may be more concise ways of documentation.
+  * [[Model Principle]] (MP): UP may demand adhering to a certain naming scheme, which may not be best with respect to MP. See [[#example 1: naming schemes]].
+==== Complementary Principles ====
+  * [[Principle of Least Surprise]] (PLS): When applying UP, PLS should also be considered for naming modules. See [[#example 1: naming schemes]].
+==== Principle Collections ====

+===== Examples =====
+==== Example 1: Naming Schemes ====
+A typical example of the application of UP is the naming of method identifiers for common container classes like [[glossary:stacks]] or [[glossary:queues]]. This also shows that there are several ways to apply this principle.
+Stacks typically have the methods ''push'', ''pop'' and ''peek'' (sometimes also called ''top''). ''push'' puts an item onto the stack, ''pop'' removes the top most item and ''peek'' retrieves the value of the top most item without removing it from the stack. This is how the common stack model describes this data structure (see [[Model Principle|MP]]). Applying UP to this naming decision means that the methods should be named precisely as they are named everywhere else also. So a developer knowing the model or other implementations of the model will immediately know how to use this module as well. In this case MP and UP demand the same thing. [[Principle of Least Surprise|PLS]] is satisfied here as well as a developer knowing stacks will expect exactly that.
+Queues on the other hand typically have the methods ''enqueue'', ''dequeue'', and ''peek'' (or ''front''/''first'' or the like). MP would demand naming the operations of a ''Queue'' module exactly that way. But there are several ways Up can be applied here. The one way is to apply the principle just like above. Resulting in methods ''enqueue'' and ''dequeue''. This is how it is done in .NET((http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.collections.queue(v=vs.110).aspx)). The other way is to consider the method identifiers of the ''Stack'' module. A possible application of UP could be to demand naming the queue methods just like the stack methods, meaning also ''push'', ''pop'' and ''peek''. This is the naming scheme which was chosen in the Delphi RTL((http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/Libraries/XE3/en/System.Contnrs.TQueue_Methods)). Here MP and UP are contrary. A further downside of this approach is that ''pop'' and ''push'' methods might be surprising for a queue class. So PLS would oppose this solution.
+A third possibility is to find a common abstraction and to apply a very general naming scheme to all descendant classes (stack classes, queue classes and others). This is the way it is done in Eiffel((see Bertrand Meyer: //[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object-Oriented%20Software%20Construction|Object-Oriented Software Construction]]//, p. 127)). Here there the method names are ''put'', ''remove'' and ''item'' regardless of the concrete data structure. This is contrary to MP but creates a uniform naming scheme throughout the API. So there is less uniformity across APIs but stronger uniformity within the API. MP and UP are here contrary too. For PLS this means that a developer who is used to this philosophy is never surprised by having these methods. But developers new to it might be nevertheless.
+==== Example 2: This Wiki ====
+This wiki has a certain structure which is uniform across all principles. Each principle description has the same sections with the same kind of information. This makes looking up principles much easier because one can directly jump to those sections containing the needed information. To mitigate the problem of unnecessary documentation (i.e. MIMC violations) sections without additional information are left blank instead of describing something obvious.
