The point here is what happens when you need to update the APP, not the data
(though frequently they coincide).

Nonsense, you need only provide state information in the URL, or via a

No, you claim that the implentation of API is important to developers who
code against this API, right?
A related question, how much programming experiance do you have, T. Max? And
in what language?
T_Max.XP(iTime,strLang);

I don't doubt it.
They say that after each war in the 20th century, the burglary rate
drops dramatically, as the domestic landscape is filled with households
where the man therein, having already killed before, not only has no
qualms in doing so to defend his household....but can do it calmly as
the appropriate conduct is now second nature to him.

Evaluating people on their behavior is NOT prejudice...it is postjudice
Prejudice = PRE judge.
Evaluation of someone's behavior, by definition, can NOT be prejudice.
Hope that helps.

Bullshit.

That is just plain wrong.
Once the templates have been set up correctly, even a total moron can
produce a professional letter with LyX. Worse (for Word, that is),
aforementioned moron doesn't even need to know what "layout" _means_,
let alone know the applicable rules.
The only wordprocessor that comes even close to LyX's output is
StarOffice Writer, which comes with a very kewl set of templates (but
even those can be fscked up by Mr. Moron, something which is impossible
with LyX.)
I agree that LaTeX may not be the right tool for an office environment,
but LyX definitely is. A half-competent sysadmin with an old LaTeX guide
can set up a house style in one monday morning. The beauty is that a LyX
house style _will_ be used by the drones (they simply have no other
choice - and if one of them does find out: Fire the old sysadmin and
replace him with the smarter drone).
