	Occam's razor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Occam's razor (also spelled Ockham's razor) is a principle attributed to the 14th-century English logician and Franciscan friar William of Ockham (Guilhelmi Ockam and Guillermi de Ockam in Latin [1]).
		Occam's razor states that the explanation of any phenomenon should make as few assumptions as possible, eliminating, or "shaving off," those that make no difference in the observable predictions of the explanatory hypothesis or theory.
		Ockham's Razor, an essay at The Galilean Library on the historical and philosophical implications by Paul Newall.

	Razor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Plastic disposable razors and razors with replaceable disposable blade attachments, often with two or three cutting edges (but sometimes with four and as of recently, five cutting edges), are in common use today.
		Razor wire is a mesh of metal strips with sharp edges whose purpose it is to prevent passage by human beings.
		Razor wire is sharper than the barbs of barbed wire, though not as sharp as a true razor.

	Sharpen a Razor Instructions
		People, who often use razors, know: the cutting edge is growing, meaning that the very fine burr on the cutting edge (which can be seen under the microscope) changes whenever the razor is used, but it finally goes back to its old position and will become very fine again.
		The basic materials for good straight razors are standard steels with a carbon content of 0.6% and greater and which attain a maximum of hardness, elasticity and resistance to wear in a careful process of tempering and treatment.
		This unnecessarily caused the straight razor to function far from optimal, and therefore comparable with the new inventions, which of course was the beginning of the end.

	What is Occam's Razor?
		Occam's (or Ockham's) razor is a principle attributed to the 14th century logician and Franciscan friar; William of Occam.
		Ernst Mach advocated a version of Occam's razor which he called the Principle of Economy, stating that "Scientists must use the simplest means of arriving at their results and exclude everything not perceived by the senses.
		It is ironic that while applying the principle of economy to throw out the concept of the ether and an absolute rest frame, Einstein published almost simultaneously a paper on brownian motion which confirmed the reality of molecules and thus dealt a blow against the use of positivism.

	What is Ockham's Razor?
		Ockham's Razor is the principle proposed by William of Ockham in the fourteenth century: ``Pluralitas non est ponenda sine neccesitate'', which translates as ``entities should not be multiplied unnecessarily''.
		For all we know the solar system is permeated by an alien intellect, but the motion of the planets, which can be explained by the simple idea that there is a force between them and the sun, provides no evidence of the aliens' presence nor proves their absence.
		A more straightforward application of the Razor is when we are face with two theories which have the same predictions and the available data cannot distinguish between them.

		If I got it right, the end of your romance with RAZOR started with M-Bro and Mike Campagnolo leaving the band and by the time of the “Violent Restitution” recording sessions you knew it was going to be your last album under RAZOR’s banner.
		RAZOR certainly had to feel it was for the better, at least directly after the creation of Rob's first project with the band.

	Occam's Razor
		Occam's razor is a logical principle attributed to the mediaeval philosopher
		In any given model, Occam's razor helps us to "shave off" those concepts, variables or constructs that are not really needed to explain the phenomenon.
		Occam's razor is especially important for universal models such as the ones developed in General Systems Theory, mathematics or philosophy, because there the subject domain is of an unlimited complexity.

	The Razor Motorcycle Trailer, ground loading
		I have been taking a motorcycle that we are raffling off around on my Razor Trailer for several months, keeping the bike loaded on the trailer at one of our Fire Stations when not on display.
		One day, the Fire truck that was normally assigned to that station was out on a call and a truck from another station came by to stand by.
		When they finally did stop, the rollup door on the back was damaged, the trailer tongue had a slight bit of paint chipped off, the wiring harness had been cut by the rollup door, the base of the tile column had some broken tiles, and the motorcycle was undamaged.

	Occam's razor
		What is known as Occam's razor was a common principle in medieval philosophy and was not originated by William, but because of his frequent usage of the principle, his name has become indelibly attached to it.
		For example, atheists often apply Occam's razor in arguing against the existence of God on the grounds that God is an unnecessary hypothesis.
		On the other hand, if Occam's razor means that when confronted with two explanations, an implausible one and a probable one, a rational person should select the probable one, then the principle seems unnecessary because so obvious.

		Release Management: Release conditions are easy to set up; release definitions are archived and can be reconstructed in the future; process rules can be linked to release conditions to enforce required control.
		The Razor tools may be used collectively as a tool suite or independently.
		Therefore, it is envisioned that one approach for interfacing the activity stored by Razor with third party tools would be to utilize the issue control groups for “defect” tracking; version control groups for “versioning” and threads control groups for “release” or “baseline”.
