(FOAS) for that wikipedia knows only http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FOAS Future Offensive Air System http://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/FOAS provides more thorough coverage of the acronym: FOAS Future Offensive Air System FOAS First Order Abstract Syntax (computing) FOAS Fiber Optic Acoustic Sensors (Northrop Grumman) FOAS Friends of Albert Schweitzer (England, UK) FOAS Footsteps of a Stranger (song) FOAS Friends of the Animal Shelter of St. Bernard, Inc. (Chalmette, LA) so it seems that even trademark-ing could be available ;-) in contrast to http://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/FOSS it is even more unique: FOSS Free and Open Source Software FOSS Free / Open-Source Software FOSS Full Option Science System FOSS Fiber-Optic Sensor System FOSS Forum of Small States (UN) FOSS Follow-On System Stock FOSS Fiber Optics Sonar System FOSS Faculty Online Support Service FOSS Federal Intelligence Security Service FOSS Family Of System Study -- =------------------------------------------------------------------= Keep in touch www.onerussian.com Yaroslav Halchenko www.ohloh.net/accounts/yarikoptic -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
