It's not easy to convey a properly argumented original thought in 160 characters...
I agree that Twitter in its current form would be terrible for argument mapping. However, in one sense it would be beneficial to limit a single claim or assertion to a certain character length, provided that there is a way to represent the overall argument as a tree or web of assertions. The limitation would force the arguer to organize their elaboration.
Elaboration is crucial to productive arguing, but it's something the reader should be allowed to hide during their initial encounter with the argument.
I hope something like DebateGraph.org catches on as the infrastructure for arguing in the future.
SCO's System V UNIX contract allowed Sequent to prepare derivative works and modifications of System V software "provided the resulting materials were treated as part of the Original [System V] Software."
The Resulting Material of Sequent's modifications was Dynix/tx. The components of that modification were SysV, RCU, and NUMA.
Being only two of the components of the modification, I don't see how SCO has the right to apply SysV licensing
terms to any future use of Sequent-IBM's RCU and NUMA technology.
A 2D scroll bar widget, located at the bottom-right corner of the document where both scrollbars meet.
It would allow 360 degree movment of the document without having to release the current scrollbar
and relocate the mouse cursor to the other scrollbar.
This widget wouldn't require a mouse upgrade either.
