OptimalGrid is a self-contained middleware designed for developers to create grid-enabled parallel applications without themselves becoming experts in grid or high-performance computing (article). The Linux compatible middleware now includes automatic distribution and provisioning on to Grid nodes. See how the first release of Quake II was made massively multi-player by running on a Grid. Get modified Quake II from Sourceforge to run with OptimalGrid and let the massive Grid games begin.
Intrusive R
To an objective observer, the intrusive r is very prevalent in RP. It involves the "insertion of an r-sound at the end of a word ending in a non-high vowel where the next word begins with a vowel.
In Britain, the non-rhotic accent gives rise to linking "r"s, where an otherwise unpronounced "r", in "clear", is pronounced if followed by a vowel, "clear away". An intrusive "r" is an "r' added in such a situation where noneactually exists, so "law and order" becomes "law ran order". In some cases, there is even hypercorrection, such as adding an "r" (Louisa ® Louiser), especially when a non-rhotic person moves to a rhotic area. But if Clair hears the "r" she'll correct you.
Further, it is usually acceptable to use an optional linking R between words to pronounce expressions such as "law and order" to sound like /lɔ:ɹəndɔ:də(ɹ)/. The final r here depends on what follows.
Simply because you're ignorant of something doesn't make that idea go away, Tango.I have lived in England all my life, North, South, East and West so I'm hardly ignorant thanks. I am simply stating have never heard anyone, from any part of the country, in real life or on television or radio say "idear." I'm sure there are some dialects where they do, but it's not common.
They only do it when the word after the 'ah' word begins with another vowel. For example, "I like drama and comedy" will be pronounced like, "I like dramar and comedy."Again, what a load of rubbish.
It doesn't matter that we're not 'pronouncing' everything on here, MeatFarts (if that is your real name.) The level of informality we're using and the nature of the board indicates that this is a conversational type of dialogue. How else would you explain even your OWN post starting with 'Ah yes!' That's a casual and conversational exclamation if I ever heard one, used only in conversations. This is not even looking at your own puncutation mistakes.
So your own argument about 'responsibility of the author to construct proper sentences' is bunk, because you yourself are writing much closer to a conversational level of informality than any kind of other documentation, like technical English, etc.
I recommend you stay away from trying to analyze sociological or pragmatic linguistics when you obviously trying to talk above a level you're comfortable with, because you're making basically no sense.
This is not even looking at your own puncutation mistakes.
For instance, people say "an STD", not "a STD". Or I do, anyways. I mean, my friend does.

Strictly speaking, it's neither; it's actually an initialism. Acronyms are pronounceable, like NASA and laser.
If the author wanted to write out "Massively multiplayer online game," he would, and he'd use "a" to precede it.
You mean "acronym", not "abbreviation".
