Can you define the new Fedora-related sense in terms
comprehensible to old mossbacks? How about partially or "fully-atomic"??
"atomic" is a very old term, even in computing.
It mean indivisible, and is why atoms are called atoms.
I thought "scientists" had figured out that atoms were divisible.
1: Please reply to the list, not me. I have fixed this in my response.
I usually avoid responding to the list these days when it would be off
topic for the list. I know many of the subscribers consider off topic
responses kind of rude.
I suppose your right though, respond to the list or not at all.
2: I nearly put "before the work of Ernest Rutherford" in my original
post, but didn't. I settled for the sig quote.
Prior to that, atoms were viewed as indivisible, yea, even in the
times of ancient Greece. Regardless of the fact that atoms have
substructure, their supposed indivibility _is_ the reason they were
given the name "atom".
