Richard> Yeah. Nobody should ever use a word that's spelled like Richard> paradigm! How about "really good example..." (which is Richard> what it means).
Valdis> No, a paradigm is "a way of looking at things" or "a world Valdis> view". So this would include paradigms like "the world is Valdis> flat" or "monolithic kernels are preferable" or "gcc is Valdis> the only compiler for the kernel".
