	Flossing (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Flossing helps clean teeth in the areas that brushing alone just cannot reach (between the teeth and under your gum line).
		Flavored floss leaves a fresh taste in the mouth, and is especially nice for those times when brushing or rinsing is not possible.
		Tape floss is typically thicker than regular floss and is generally favored by people with wide gaps between their teeth.

	Technical description EN (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The invention relates to a device for improving the cleaning of interdental spaces by means of a thread, commonly referred to as dental floss, the device having a single handle and two prongs connected, at one end, to the handle and in which the dental floss extends tightly between the ends opposite the handle..
		A length of dental floss is extended in the slit and a winding of the dental floss, attached to the aforementioned length, is provided in the groove to form the attachment of the dental floss to the free end of each prong.
		Thus, the slipping of the dental floss is prevented by the increased gripping effect, which arises by virtue of its being held in al plane approximately perpendicular to the pull.

	Flossing
		Flossing should take place at least once a day for two to three minutes each time to be most effective.
		Regardless of what type of dental floss you are most comfortable using, the oral health benefits remain the same -- regular consistent flossing is the single most important weapon against plaque -- perhaps more important than the toothbrush.
		Flossing tools, such as a prethreaded flosser or floss holder may be helpful for people who are just learning how to floss, individuals with limited dexterity in their arms and/or hands, or persons who are flossing the teeth of someone else (particularly a child or disabled person).

	Flossing Tips (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Flossing helps to remove plaque from in between your teeth, in areas that your toothbrush can’t reach.
		When the floss reaches the gumline, curve it into a C-shape against one tooth and gently slide it into the space between the gum and the tooth until you feel pressure against the tooth.
		Flossing is a skill that is learned and after a while, it will take only a few minutes of your time.

		The terms of FLOSS licences make forks possible; both halves will be able to continue their work with only a loss in numbers and skills, but without having to rewrite any code.
		FLOSS is first of all defined by a specific structure of property rights, which gives — unlike proprietary licences — users far–reaching rights.
		When FLOSS is studied as a subculture, one important aspect should be kept in mind: as a global phenomenon, it deviates not from one mainstream society, but from many, and in possibly different ways.

	Dental floss - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dental floss is a bundle of thin nylon filaments or a plastic (teflon or polyethylene) ribbon used to remove food and plaque from teeth.
		The floss is inserted between the teeth and scraped along the teeth sides, especially close to the gums.
		For flossing like a dental professional, the Association advises to curve the floss against the side of the tooth in a 'C' shape, and then to wipe the tooth from under the gumline (very gently) to the tip two or three times, repeated on adjacent tooth and all other teeth too.

		Historically, FLOSS was first used as a project acronym by Rishab Aiyer Ghosh.
		In constructing the FLOSS phrase, the Spanish word Libre was included to emphasize the "freedom from entanglements" meaning of the Enlish word free, as opposed to the unintended (but frequently assumed) "pay no money" meaning.
		At the end of 2004, FLOSS has been used as an English-language acronym of choice in official documents in a number of countries including South Africa, Spain, and Brazil.

	High Assurance (for Security or Safety) and Free-Libre / Open Source Software (FLOSS)... with Lots on Formal Methods
		FLOSS licenses allow others to study, use, improve, and release those original or improved versions, and are thus a much better vehicle for making continued research possible.
		FLOSS developers tend to work to develop better code, because they know their name will be associated with the code that is reviewed worldwide.
		FLOSS programs tend to have well-defined interfaces and careful designs, since their developers must usually work worldwide and cannot depend on walking over to someone else to understand a design.

		The term FLOSS is useful for those who, for a variety of reasons, do not want to align themselves with one group and alienate the other.
		In constructing the FLOSS phrase, the French/Spanish word libre was included to emphasize the "freedom from entanglements" meaning of the English word free, as opposed to the unintended (but frequently assumed) "pay no money" meaning (see Gratis versus Libre).
		The FLOSS acronym is not used in official Spanish and Portuguese documents, since in these languages the unambiguous words libre and livre suffice.

	The future of sociology of FLOSS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		However, I argue that such a view, partially valid in explaining the FLOSS development, not only ignores the diversity of population and their different articulations, interpretation on and performances towards developing FLOSS, but also neglects the different environments and contexts where FLOSS is deployed, developed and implemented.
		To study the FLOSS development in terms of sociology, "practices" are the main elements connecting diverse actors from various social worlds (Strauss, 1978; Gerson, 1983; Star and Griesemer 1989; Bowker and Star 1998; Clarke, 1990, 1991, 1993, 1997; Fujimura, 1991, 1992).
		To analyse the heterogeneous constructions of FLOSS by diverse actors, employing a social-worlds perspective is adequate because it allows us to understand the interactive socio-technical processes without losing sight on heterogeneous and contingent voices of actors and artefacts in an arena.

		All 3 measures though suggest that the core of FLOSS projects is a small fraction of the total number of contributors.
		We found that there were similarities between the FLOSS groups and the reported practices of the proprietary project in the coordination mechanisms used to manage task-task dependencies.
		We found that FLOSS development teams vary widely in their centralization, from completely centered on one developer to projects which are highly decentralized and exhibit a distributed pattern of conversation between developers and active users.

	FLORA.ca - Defining FLOSS and 'commons-based peer production'
		The first known usage of the term FLOSS was as part of the Free/Libre and Open Source Software: Survey and Study commissioned by the European Commission which was published in July 2002.
		In the case of FLOSS the copyright holders (proprietors) have licensed their software using terms which protect the rights of those that will then be able to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software.
		Free/libre and open source software (FLOSS) is a way to describe free software that tries to take into account the freedom put forward by promoters of free software, as well as the so called "pragmatism" claimed by the promoters of open source.
