I don't understand why Diaspora has had saturation coverage in the mainstream press (and pretty heavy coverage here, for that matter) before it even went alpha, but identi.ca gets so little.

That is all.

Yes, that's what the post which you contradicted said: "certain-Anglicans believe it's not "symbolically" eating his flesh, it's really eating his flesh".

Yes, that's right, (XXVIII) "Of the Lord's Supper." , which states "the Bread which we break is a partaking of the Body of Christ; and likewise the Cup of Blessing is a partaking of the Blood of Christ."? Article XXVIII condemns transubstantiation but is read by many Anglicans as supporting sacramental union or consubstantiation, as articulated by Luther. It would be a bit pedantic then, to say that Lutherans believe in the Real Presence in the Eucharist, but that Anglicans do not.

No, the GP was correct Some Anglicans accept the doctrine of transubstantiation, all Orthodox accept it (though they use differernt terminology to express more or less the same idea), but Lutherans do not accept it.

"Names convey meanings; our choice of names determines the meaning of what we say. An inappropriate name gives people the wrong idea. A rose by any name would smell as sweet - but if you call it a pen, people will be rather disappointed when they try to write with it. And if you call pens "roses", people may not realize what they are good for. If you call these people Crackers, that conveys a mistaken idea of their origin, history, and purpose. If you call them GNU/Crackers, that conveys (though not in detail) an accurate idea."

• War on Poverty
• War on Hunger
• War on Illiteracy

So many wars to choose from... so little time.

(Facepalm) Yes, it is Coral Cached, and latest cached content is about a month old.

And I'm just off to find some caffeine now. That is all, thank you.

No it's not. Wrong site, sorry. And the right URL isn't cached yet.

BSD? Never heard of it. Netcraft confirms it.

I'm curious: if you're not interested in something as "low end" as systems administration, then why would you be interested in a Slashdot discussion on VMware and BSD jails? :-)

And nobody's asking you to memorize what LTSP stands for. Just double-click the text in Firefox, right-click and choose search. So much quicker and more effective than asking everyone to spell out abbreviations. It's a win-win!

True, he might have been talking about the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia . There is a certain ambiguity there. :-)

Welcome to Slashdot, "News for Nerds". You may find that its readers tend to use lots of initialisms, acronyms and computer slang, especially when discussing computing issues. If you like everything spelled out and linked for you, then you might prefer to read CNET instead.

BTW (by the way), CNET doesn't appear to stand for anything but CNET. :-)
