Indeed, I was expecting that they'd come up with a solid reason why XMPP couldn't do this. I don't see how IMPP is really any different.

I don't bother with anything but the mouth inflator for my NeoAir. It takes me a total of 15 seconds max. I'm not quite sure what all the fuss is about.

I think this passes under the rule of "common knowledge", at least for anyone in the field of linguistics or literature. The writing in question, A Modest Proposal, was written centuries ago, if you read the Christian Bible you can see exam

I've heard DBA complain that many programmers see data as not all that important: that the data simply exists to run the program. This obviously not the case in any serious real-life environments, but I think it's the sort of attitude that

Chomskyan theory is less dominant than it used to be. Before WWII, linguistics was largely the study of European languages, and as a result, there seemed to be a lot of similarity between languages. Chomsky was on the tail end of this. In r
