We should consider the possibility of a language problem (meaning of 
"static")

a) Might be a different human language thing
b) Might be a user vs programmer thing

Parabolic, to us programmer types, "static" refers to how an executable 
is link edited, how the pieces are tied together. To us "static" means 
the ENTIRE THING (even pieces that may not get used this run) are loaded 
into core when then the program is loaded. It would be one, gigantic 
piece. The opposite is "dynamic" which allows the link editor to say 
"wait" to find out where some piece will be loaded IF is ever called << 
because not at a fixed distance from where called, that can't be 
resolved till then >>

If you meant "a version of the program that is not rapidly changing, 
being improved, etc.) then the term would be "stable", not "static"
