You do not dispute that different words are appropriate for different situations. But you do dispute that some words are inappropriate in some situations.
Isn't it a bit odd that they were using a non-deterministic network - something like Ethernet, by the sound of it. Back in the early 90s, I was always told that networks like Ethernet were great for office apps, but not where you wanted guaranteed times for message delivery. For that token ring, FDDI and the like were better. What is the network infrastructure of choice in a nuclear power station?
So they're exact synonyms? Then tell me. Why does the word 'shit' actually exist, and why does it continue to be used? Do you use the word "poo" all the time, if not, why not?
Err, no. The idea is to protect the family. That means the ability for multiple people to meet together. That means multiple people having hoiliday at the same time.
The tools are not only useful for external communities of users. In a previous job, several years ago now, I had to look after the development of a fairly complex site. This comprised a public facing side, but also a number of back-end tools. As we developed the site, and post launch we needed a bug tracker so that members of staff could report problems as we found them. The Bugzilla interface was just too inflexible and overly complex for our users to cope with. We ended up using Mantis instead. And were very happy with it.
I have to agree. The idea of online applications being "first class citizens with the traditional applications" to quote the story, suggests to me that online applications would need to have similar or identical security access to locally installed applications. This seems, uh... possibly problematic.
Err no. I noticed a definite speed improvement on the G4 mac with version 2.1. Unfortunately, the G4 went bang about a week ago, so I can't give you a timing on that machine, I only have the Intel timings. I never found NeoOffice a joy to use, but neither did I find it a slug. And that was on an 800MHz box.
Well, you made me smile, but that is a little harsh, I think the recent versions of NeoOffice launch substantially faster. I've just tried, following a machine restart and v 2.1 launched in about 15 seconds. This is on a 2Ghz Core 2 Duo though. I agree start-up used to be tedious, especially on my old G4.
" It turned out that he thought Free Software was software they don't charge for. "
Which is a perfectly valid meaning of the word "Free".
I see your last paragraph starts with the word 'overall'. I've no idea why you bought up the topic of a one piece work garment in your post, but please don't do it again. It is confusing since one word can only ever have one meaning.
Well, I would be tempted to agree, expect for the fact that relatively little of South America is covered in jungle. The huge altiplano, the Andes and associated areas, the Western desert, the huge pampas regions. My guess would be that even historically, less than 50% of S. America would be heavily forested.
"On average" they might. But the problem that hosted service providers have is this: Whenever a PC user screws up and loses data, he/she says "damn I screwed up, I'm an idiot". When a hosted service provider screws up n-thousand customers get really annoyed by that company. When I screw up, I don't tend to go after my self for breach of contract, or damages, or whatever.
Well, replacing the graphics card might be handy simply because for not much money you get access to core video effects, or the ability to use higher resolution, or drive dual monitors - you get the idea.
At University, I connected my Speccy to the student union TV station's BBC model B (used as a caption generator) via an RS232 lead. I then wrote a rather nifty program that used the Sinclair + Microdrives as a file server for the BBC (which only had a cassette interface installed). Ah, happy days.
It's an interesting idea, unfortunately, given Linden's record in keeping the grid up and stable, I think it is just as likely that you would see the exodus occur in the opposite direction. I have a great deal of time for the guys at LL - they are visionaries and have their hearts in the right place. However running a robust, bug-free, high performing online system does not appear to be their strong suit.

"Eat your dinner, or go to be without, your choice" is not physically threatening.
So to be clear:
You do not dispute that different words are appropriate for different situations. But you do dispute that some words are inappropriate in some situations.

Touché sir.
A Mr Gödel is outside. He would like a word with you.
I believe the video clip on YouTube has been set up so that all comments have to be approved by the original poster to be displayed. Not surprisingly:
1. All the comments are pro-Scientology/anti-Sweeney.
2. A lot of the accounts are... ahem... rather recently created.
The point of the BBC documentary was to see if claims by Scientology to have become a mainstream just-like-any-other religion were true.
I suspect you'll have to wait longer than 50 years.

They renamed LiveScript ISTR.

And what a fabulous ditty that was, thanks haven't seen that for ages.

Did you try upgrading the graphics card, the DVD drive or the processor yet? That's what the parent post was getting act.

You had an interesting point until you hit the hyperbole ceiling. Office on the Mac is arguably better than on Windows.
