Sigh. No. I think I stated them in a way that got misintepretted. My whole point was that static = "Places where you talk to the library are *hardcoded* into the application", dynamic = "You *ask* the library where those locations are at run time." At worst you misunderstood what I meant in my descriptions.
main {
__if (Schrodinger_Cat is Alive or version >= "XP"){
____if version = "Vista" then Performance /= Number_of_Cores;
____call Functional_Code();}
__else
____call Crash_Windows();}

One way this can be assured is by loading the code for the library routines into the executable file during the linking phase. This approach is called "static linking." One disadvantage of static linking is that the code for various library routines is redundantly stored in the executable files of many different programs and utilities. This wastes a lot of disk space.

Another approach is to defer loading until the program is run, at which time routines are loaded from libraries on the fly. This is called "dynamic linking."

Just had to show you these quotes I pulled off of your previous posts. They are quite contradictory, seeing as the first one proves that the "static linking" is actually compiling the library into the executable file, and that "dynamic linking" is adding a previously compiled file at runtime. I fail to see where you got your definition out of that site, as it only reinforces David's definition.
It is much easier to fight for one's ideals than to live up to them.
