Thats a really> bold statement/opinion and I disagree with it.It would be a bold statement, if I had said Google has too much control overinternet traffic. That is why I wrote "I think they have too much control over internet traffic." When I say "I think," that means that it is my opinion. If it is my opinion, then is is subjective. It is subject to my opinion, and it is subject to the opinions of other's. It is not an absolute statement. When I say, "I think," it also suggests that my opinion is subject to change. The fact that my opinion of Google had been influenced, and improved by their efforts to release Chrome in open source, was the whole point of my little statement in the beginning. Therefore, if you leave outkey words "I think," that convey the sense of what I am saying, then you are miscontrueing my statement.  > > are you saying Firefox doesn't have enough plugins?I'm not saying that at all. I'm saying that someone, not necessarily firefox, may be interestedin puttings some plugins into Chrome. (I don't even know if that is possible)I have heard in this thread people say that some people like firefox's plug-ins. But that is just an example.My real point is that it must change. The code will invariably evolve. Regardless of what the change is, it will change.> .> > Thats not change, if Mozilla moved over to Google/webkit that would be> assimilation. An assimilagtion is a change. One type of change is like what Google Chromeattempts to do. They are attempting to change, in large part, the philosophy of web browsing.Another type of change is when you change, and/or improve code, a little here and a little there,and yet another type of change is assimilation. If you make a statement and you want to specify which type of change you are referring to, then you must define it. On the other hand,if don't define what type of change you are referring to, then the default meaning of changeincludes all types of change. When I used the word change, I was referring to any type of change.
