> wasw confused about "fair port"
i read it as so-so/average (fair to middling) conversion
(ported from unix to dos), but those aren't the words
we're accustomed to seeing so yeah, it took a few
seconds to register for me, too
even then, fair port is awkward: the quality of the
result was fair, but that's because of the source,
not the conversion (unless he means the conversion
went fairly well, which seems unlikely)
...and i get to learn something about farming today,
so yippee...
http://www.rawrdenim.com/dictionary/f/fair-to-middling/
or
http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/fair-to-middling.html
i'm actually using it wrong: per those sources middling
is average and fair is a notch above that, shifting the
sense from average to a little bit better than average
and i'm probably being lazy with my use of port as well
- what happens when an application is ported from one OS
to another?
