  1. Re:Using AOL's servers on AOL vs. Trillian · · Score: 1

    ...they should let third parties use their servers because otherwise they will loose market share...

    I suspect that AOL would not intentionally "let loose or release" their market share, although it is possible that they would fail to maintain it. Perhaps the word you were looking for was lose.

    Alan Partridge, your participation in the cause is gratefully noted. However, I believe the responsibility for "then/than" was filled eearlier today. On the other hand, DefinitelyNotDefinatelyBoy would be a welcome addition to the team...

    ...and that which does looses mass. The loosing mass part has been proven in lab test...

    I suspect that entities traveling near the speed of light do not actually "let loose or release" mass; that would imply that the entity is somehow capable of consciously manipulating its own mass. I believe the words you were looking for are loses and losing.

    You loose reflection support and similar low level access to the runtime environment.

    I do not think you would "let loose or release" reflection support and similar low level access; it is more likely that you would fail to retain this functionality. The word you were looking for is lose.

    Yes I know that they loose money on every PS2

    While it is true that Sony "lets loose or releases" money on every PS2, in the sense that they sell the machine for less money than it costs to manufacture, I suspect that this was not exactly your intended meaning. The word you were looking for was lose.

    now watch me loose at least one karma point for being offtopic

    To the best of my knowledge, it would not be possible for you to "let loose or release" one karma point, since Slash does not give you direct control over your own karma. Perhaps you meant to use the word lose.

    Some PC's seems to loose up to 30 secs every day.

    I doubt that the PCs "let loose or release" 30 seconds every day; that would imply some sort of conscious effort on the part of the PC, not to mention control over the flow of time itself. I believe the word you were looking for was lose.

    It is doubtful that the crew would "let loose or release" their lives; that sounds rather like suicide, and context would lead me to believe that was not your intended meaning. The word you were looking for was lose.

    but we must not loose sight that the purpose is TO BENEFIT THE PUBLIC

    I speculate that you did not mean to say, "...we must not 'let loose or release'sight that the purpose is to benefit the public." After all "releasing sight" is a rather ambiguous metaphor at best. The word you were looking for was lose.

    Even if they eventually loose the case, it still makes them look good, and generates a lot of good publicicty.

    While Elcomsoft probably is interested in "letting loose or releasing" the case, in the sense that they have filed for dismissal, context would indicate that this is not what you meant to say. The word you were looking for was lose.
