  1. Re:George Costanza had the right idea. on How to Fake A Hard Day at the Office · · Score: 1
    Of course, George didn't seem to have that much success at work so YMMV on this nugget of advice.

    It works. Trust Wally.

  2. Re:The only once inside the GNOME-community on Has GNOME Become LAME? · · Score: 2, Informative
    My objection is that frequently it's used to replace keyword/value pairs with... er, values in tags, and is readability-impaired - not because a human being can't decypher what something says, but because you have to decypher that something first.

    If you don't understand what I mean, consider the following example:

    Old, obsolete, non-standard format:

    FullScreen=true
    Exciting, new, XML format:
    <FullScreen>true</FullScreen>

    How about something like this?
    <Settings FullScreen="true" />
    A snippet from an actual config file would probably look something like this:
    <ScreenSettings
    FullScreen="true"
    Width="800"
    Height="600"
    />
    I think that would be both human readable and valid XML.
