There's another DOM processor for Tcl called tDOM. I prefer tDOM, and the mailing list is very helpful (despite the fact that it's hosted by Yahoo! egroups), but you can see the TclDOM vs tDOM wiki for more info.
But also, if you don't mind Tcl, you can just store the data in Tcl lists. Tcl's syntax is simple enough that it makes this sort of thing pretty straightforward.
...Massachusetts said that none of the allegations had been resolved and it would "move forward on an enforcement path should its investigations identify provable violations."
Can anyone fill me in on this "enforcement path"?
As I recall, the only penalty MicroSoft will suffer if they ignore the terms will be that they will have to ignore the settlement for 7 years rather than 5.
Well, the problem could be that they haven't allocated enough bandwidth for their VoIP. With POTS, you either have a dial tone or you don't. With VoIP, you can get more dialtones but at lower quality.
I just started using Vonage's VoIP for a second line (email me for a referral/discount), and the quality is fine. I had to do some QoS tinkering on my firewall, but now the VoIP traffic has priority over other network traffic and call quality is consistent. Before the QoS tinkering, the calls would sound horribly choppy when I started a large download.
Yeah, sure, it's legal to *sell* a closed system. However, there is absolutely no legal basis that allow a seller to prevent a consumer from opening it. The most they could do would be to void all warranties if you do anything unapproved.
If MS can say that you can't open it or run software on it, does that also mean that MS can keep you from reselling it or smashing it with a sledgehammer or just tossing the whole thing in the garbage?
If someone wants to maintain control of a device after they give it to the consumer, their only choice is to rent it to the consumer and maintain the ownership themselves.
Do you really want them to think all commercials are watched? Wouldn't that encourage them to add more and longer commercials?
What we really need is to strategically convince them when we watch commercials or not.
Consider movies on broadcast TV. Did you ever notice how the first half of the movie is virtually commercial free, but the last 15 minutes of the movie is stretched over 40 minutes?
We should try and convince them that we would only watch 2 minutes of commercials during a single break and then skip the rest. ALL commercials during the last 30 minutes of a movie should be considered "skipped". Any commercial that breaks up a scene should also be "skipped".
Most importanlt, any commercial with Carrot Top should be "skipped".
>> Since when did IBM have anything to do with SMP in the kernel?

But the question was, what did IBM have to do with adding SMP to the kernel? Alan Cox did that with hardware from Caldera. IBM had nothing to do with SMP in the kernel.
In making this claim, SCO/Caldera blithely ignores the existence of facilities such as the Open Source Development Lab[41], an organization funded by twenty-one companies including technology giants such as Intel, Hewlett-Packard, Cisco Systems, NEC, Dell, and Hitachi â" and IBM. OSDL has lab facilities in Beaverton, Oregon, and Yokohama, Japan. OSDL opened its first lab in January 2001, four months before IBM's withdrawal from Project Monterey. From October 2000 to October 2002, one of its sponsors was Caldera Systems International!
In other words, supply and demand. Which leads to the question: WHY does the government feel it is important to manipulate the market prices for these people?
And assuming there is a really good reason to subsidize their phone service, why are we not subsidizing ALL their goods and services. Surely it costs more to deliver groceries and other goods and services to rural areas. Why don't I have to pay a Federal Universal Toilet Paper Tax to make sure that rural folks don't have to pay more for their toilet paper than I do?
> And to make corporations happy it greatly reduces the costs.
While the marginal costs of VoIP are reduced, the initial rollout can be expensive. Decent handsets with VoIP capabilities are nearly twice as expensive. Many vendors have digital phones that can later be upgraded to VoIP by adding an additinal module.
Anyways, if your corporation has sites across the country, your PBX can take advantage of this as well. If you are in New York and you make a phone call to someone outside your corporation in San Francisco, the PBX will see that you have trunk lines in SF and route your call over IP to the SF trunk and connect to the PSTN from there, effectively making your long distance call a local call.
I certainly filter my user-agent and claim it's IE, even though I use galeon under Linux for 99% of my surfing. Too many sites block me if I tell them I'm using anything else. I can't remember the last time I went to a site that *really* only worked under IE.

My bad. I must've been thinking about that movie where they traveled back in time...

The Nimitz itself was named after a living person who had only just retired.
Yeah, and what does the poster think companies who want to sell in the US only should do? Use the United States Wide Web (USWW)?
If energy were plentiful and cheap, I think DeBeers would find a way to make people think it wasn't to keep the price artificially high.
And, unless sand was the new source of energy, I wouldn't want to be a Saudi prince.

That's tragic, but what does the US State Dept have to do with it? From the google links, they were "three Britons and one New Zealander".

Plus, those under 18 will know which games are best.

They've always said "Midnight Friday". Therefore Monday would be their earliest opportunity to enforce their revocation.

Yet you chose the most regressive tax to make things fair?
Being a Tcl guy, I use tDOM. It has the fastest XSLT engine that I know of.
This was recently discussed on the Beowulf list.
Ok, first, if his house is on fire and there's no other house for two miles, having a phone inside the burning house isn't really going to help him...
Second, using the necessity of basic phone to justify a different subsidy doesn't seem right.
