  1. No, no... That's like saying John gets his money from Microsoft because Jill works at Microsoft and pays John to shovel her driveway. If that were the case then you could say that John bought a copy of Windows, who paid Jill, who paid John, so John broke even. It's always circular and stupid to take it past the first person. Have you murdered anyone? No? By your logic, you paid the government, which paid the salaries, of the guy who went crazy in Iraq and murdered people. You murder!

    See? Stupid. Lots of people are stupid. Don't be lots of people.

    I have no idea how that happened. I was going through an older thread that I'd not read and I meant to reply to someone below you but was also checking out your formatting. So, that's how I ended up sending you that. Err... You can safely ignore that.

    I was going to reply below but the use of DL and DT made me curious. They say curiosity killed the cat but I am not a feline. Either way, sorry for bugging you.

    How do I "consume" e-mail hosting?

    It isn't a resource that is depleted after I use it. It's a service.

    Then what's a better term for "entity to whom a product or service of a producer is delivered"?

    For a paid service Your entitlement to the service is a resource, which is consumed after all months of service for which you have paid have elapsed. For a service provided without charge It can't be "customer" if one is using only services provided without charge, such as Gmail (not Google Apps For Work) on a PC, iOS device, or out-of-warranty Android device. this

    Anyone smart will notice that a person's history began at the age of something like 25 and will then realize that they'd changed their name. They'll then trawl through the records (or search on your new name - in areas where your name first showed up) and have that information pretty quickly. For a few personal reasons, I seriously considered changing my name at one point. Except, I'm rather fond of my name.

    It's not often that I go a day without mud being thrown at me. I kind of like it. I do my best to state the truth and to accept my mistakes and not repeat them. However, I can - and will, tell it like it is. I'm pretty damned on the socialist side (for *very* different reasons than most) and have figured it's a badge of honor to be called an ultraconservative.

    Why? You'll just argue and fight about it and the others are already aware of it. Eich is part of it, certainly but only one of a tiny thing and Eich's an idiot anyhow.

    But, statements like this:

    “Mozilla believes both in equality and freedom of speech. Equality is necessary for meaningful speech.”

    No, Mozilla should believe in making a browser - just that.

    I should have made it more clear - it's not just external things. I've known about a dozen people who worked there and another dozen who still do. (I actually get around a lot.)

    Lemme see if I can find some public statements. Here's a small glimpse.

    Notice the first comment.

    Here's another one - one which you might, initially, cheer for:
    https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/...

    Nope... I don't even want my browser doing that. The list goes on, and on, and on...

    Don't get me wrong, Firefox's developer edition (Aurora) is good enough for me to call it top-notch, almost best of breed. However, I want a browser - not a political statement. Eich? He's just a drop in the bucket. For the next 12 months, read the Mozilla stories and the comments.

    You know... In the 1980s, I stopped watching much in the way of television. Things like this? They make me feel good about that. I do kind of miss Nova and I've seen some Independent Lens stuff that was good. So, I'm mostly happy with that and, besides, the 'net has scads of documentaries uploaded.

    No probablwn. I did my best to make sure that it was no just for you but for others who might read the thread. I've seen people injure themselves, go back to their regular schedule almost immediately It seldom ends well. There's nothing wrong with using a gym while injured, it's just how you use it, how much you stress yourself, and what you expect to be able to do.

    I blew out my right should. I used to be able tot throw a baseball a nearly 100 M/h. I can probably hurt myself and hit the 90s again for a grand total of 3 times. I'm spore at 75 MP/h.
