What's so interesting and healthy here is that
two
open-source
projects are fighting for market supremacy in
the
only way open source really
knows how: technical merit.
Because both have to appeal to developers, and
developers
have
a low tolerance for marketing speak.
In web servers, open
source is eating itself. We all
benefit.
Let's hope it happens in every
market.

If that's "brief" what would "extensive" be like?
Interestingly that seems a term with different meanings between UK and US
lawyers, I believe that it's only used for instructions to barristers (trial
lawyers) in the UK.
How about having a short glossary? (Or even a "brief" one).[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

| `With the launch of Office 2013 Microsoft has seen fit to
upgrade the terms
of the license agreement, and it’s not in
favor of the end user. It seems
installing a copy of the
latest version of Microsoft’s Office suite of apps
ties it to
a single machine. For life.' link

The once mighty antipodean supplier of electronic equipment, components, and
educational kitsets
seems to have fallen on hard times, and is now reduced to
squabbling over the labels on
canned beetroot.

She doesn't want to write just one. She wants to write a bunch of them, just
like Harry Potter.
So she writes one novel. Then she takes the chapter outlines from the first
novel, rewrites the chapters from memory to be as similar to the original as
possible with a few minor improvements, and calls it part two. Then she does it
ten more times, and sends all 12 novels to a publisher.
The publisher tells he that nobody will pay to read the same story 12 times just
because each one is slightly better.
"But my dad works at a software company", objects Aura Cole, "and
that is how they write new versions of operating systems."
The publisher informs her that books are not like operating systems, because
end-users read entire books but do not read the entire code for an operating
system.
"WWWWAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! Books are too like operating systems and I'm gonna
sue you I hate you I hate you I'm gonna tell my daddy and he will beat you up
for being mean I hate you!" said Aura Cole.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
