In GTA3 Vice City there was one building that didn't have a roof, and had only part of a floor. With the tank and the 'flying cars' cheat, you could fly into the top of this building and out the bottom, which was nothing but open space, and fly around underneath the city. The ground was like a two-way mirror, so you could see up onto the streets and sometimes fly into the buildings from underneath. I spent hours exploring the literal underbelly of Vice City.

What does "source" mean when you say open source? If you mean creative commons or some other open licensing scheme, don't refer to it as "source", which specifically refers to software.

There are plenty of extensions of the phrase "open source" that have nothing to do with software. See Terms based on open source for examples, which include "Open source political campaign", "Open source record label", and "Open source religion".

I realize that technical people are the last people to criticize for being nitpicky about their terms, but, for the rest of the world, language changes. You should be glad that people have picked up on the ethos instead of jumping on them for inaccuracy.

The teachers who ordered us to use script justified it by saying that, once we got out into the real world, everything would have to be in script, lest we appear unprofessional.

Ha. Ha.

At least your teachers' rationale had some lost-lasting significance. My teachers justified it by saying "Once you're in any grade past third, everything will have to be in script."
