That's not literate programming at all. A tad more research on your part is required. I actually remember when "web" in a computing context a literate programming tool rather than that thing you're surfing right now.
Literate Programming interleaves the documentation (written in TeX, naturally) and code into a single document. You then run that (Web) document through one of two processors (Tangle or Weave) to produce code or documentation respectively. The code is then compiled, and the documentation built with your TeX distribution. The documentation includes the nicely formatted source code within.
You can use literate programming in any language you want. I even wrote rules for Microsoft C 7.0's Programmer's Workbench to use it within the MSC environment.
I've frequently thought about going back. Javadoc and/or Sandcastle are poor alternatives.
There are no existing implementations of the proposed OOXML standard, so whether Office 2007 has the same defects or not is sort of irrelevant. MSFT has stated that they will not be implementing the standard as proposed, but will be going a different direction. And, given the nature of parts of the standard, nobody BUT Microsoft can fully implement it.
The mere fact that there ARE no implementations of OOXML, however, should be a giant, florescent, waving red flag. No standards body should adopt a standard that cannot and will not be implemented by the proposers.
It is common for judges to promote settlement in cases where the victor seems obvious in order to reduce the load on the court system.
In this particular case, pursuing it to the full extent should actually REDUCE the burden on the court system by severely restricting the RIAA's ability to file new suits.
The only way I could see a settlement working in the long run is if it's equivalent to an unconditional surrender with all sorts of guilt admissions. I just can't picture the RIAA agreeing to that, and the plaintiffs should not settle for less.
THIS is the opportunity. Do not let it slip through your fingers.
More Linux users aren't gamers because the gamers aren't (as an overreaching generalization) switching to Linux. People don't switch platforms if the things they do aren't easier on the target platform. Gamers are no different than AutoCAD geeks or Photoshop mavens.
The old cliche "build it and they will come" applies. But in today's "gotta make the next quarter's number" world, nobody's going to build it if the customers aren't already there.
I don't think even Microsoft could make an implementation of OOXML in a clean room without using any of their other source code.
They haven't, can't, and won't. Microsoft has never released a product that implements OOXML as it has been proposed.
On top of that they've even stated that they have no intention of having their product innovation hampered by tying them to a standard. Even the one they created.
You have no idea how hard it was to type that. I was laughing WAY too hard.
(Except that stealing the CDs would be worse, because it would be both retail theft AND copyright infringement.)
No, stealing CDs is not copyright infringement. It's simply theft. Giving away two of the four CDs you stole isn't copyright infrigement either. You never copied anything and illegally distributed the copy. You might be busted for distributing stolen material, and mailing them to a friend in another state would probably turn it into a felony as it crossed state lines.
Ripping CDs you stole, THEN distributing those files over P2P would be both copyright infringement and theft.
'It's also impossible for the true damages to be calculated, according to the brief, because it's unknown how many other users accessed the files in the KaZaA share in question and committed further acts of copyright infringement.'
Since it's unkown how many other users accessed the files, the possibility that the number is zero is as possible as any other number.
If you cannot prove HOW many accessed the file, you cannot prove ANY accessed the file. Yet simply making available is a violation anyway.
I've had FIOS 15/2 service since late May, 2006. I have, over nearly that entire time period, been averaging in excess of 4 gb transferred per day in each direction. Through one torrent site only. That doesn't include everything else we've been doing on the same connection around the house. This includes a variety of things including running an IRC file server, VPN access to work, streaming/downloading videos, etc. I haven't set up a personal website, as I just haven't had the need, but the thought has crossed my mind. At least seven different computers and an Apple TV have been used on this connection over that same time period. As many as five simultaneous connections.
There has been zero bandwidth shaping, transfer caps, or protocol issues. For 17 months of HEAVY use. If I can manage to transfer in excess of 120 gb/month in each direction, there's no transfer cap in any meaningful sense. (Yeah, it might be 500 gb total transfer - If so, I'll never hit that.)
I'll have to try to dig up my TOS. I don't believe it's the same TOS for FIOS as it is for their DSL service, but I can't be sure about that. However, if the TOS forbids servers, they certainly aren't even hinting at enforcing it in my area. (Portland, OR.)
I currently have Verizon's FIOS at the 15/2 level. It is _always_ 15/2. I've never had the connection be slow. If I've had a problem it's been with my router and a reset fixes it.
For $20 more a month, it's tempting to go to the 20/20 level when it's offered in my state. The install tech told me in nearly these words: here's your connection, we don't care what you do with it. No bandwidth shaping, no restrictions on servers, etc.
Microsoft hasn't just begun realize this. They've known it for at least a decade. For the Office and O/S divisions, they've considered their prior offerings their major competitor for years. It's all about "how to convince people to upgrade."
There's a small handful of ways to deal with the "2 or 3 tracks left in my account for the month" problem.
1: Eat 'em. It's going to cost you less than the candy bar in the vending machine. 2: Pick an album you want, and add it to a list. I use my "saved for later" default list. Download the tracks you want. eMusic allows you to freely re-download tracks you've already purchased. It's easy to finish off albums that way the next month as you don't even have to remember what you already bought. 3: Search around for albums that have only 2 or 3 tracks. (there's quite a few user-created lists of these on the site) 4: Pick out some singles. Or favorite tracks off greatest hits albums.
I've had Verizon FIOS for about sixteen months, and one private torrent site I'm a member of says I've averaged 4.4 GB up, and 4.3 GB down every day for 57 weeks.
Never had a hint of a complaint from Verizon. The install tech said they're philosophy is "here's your bandwidth, do what you want with it."

Probably?
Close enough for government work.
When did stealing from your customers become ethical and normal, anyway?
When it became clear the only thing that matters to a company is its next quarterly earnings report.
You know how sometimes you can see your keyboard without turning on the light?
THAT's the sun.
IIRC, the Microsoft C/C++ 7 development team didn't use their own editor when writing code, and as a result, the supplied editor blew chunks.
The "eating your own dogfood" phrase came about as the slang for the mandate that the MSC editor must be used when developing MSFT products.
I believe Apple has said there will _always_ be a capacity gap between the Touch and the iPhone.
So, either decide what 9GB of stuff you're not going to carry around, or carry two devices.
At least for another year. I expect capacity will go up next year again.

Two out of two self-appointed experts in the thread right above you seem to think Facebook is.

This was new to you this year?

The award is ludicrous.
Here's some practical, real-use information.

What plan do you have? I'm west of Portland, and have 15/2 service for $45/month. (or $49 - can't remember.)
$209 must be a "business" plan...
Now, if FIOS TV would just get here...

Doesn't it always?
If it's a personal document not meant to be sent anywhere, I save in OOo's standard formats.
If it's a document I expect to share, and expect others to edit, I save in MSFT Office formats.
If it's a document I expect to share, and don't want others to edit, I save in PDF.
Use the right tool for each job.
