    var msxml = new ActiveXObject ("Msxml2.DOMDocument.4.0");
    msxml.preserveWhiteSp ace = true;
    var foo = msxml.createElement ("foo");
    var bar = msxml.createElement ("bar");
    msxml.appendChild (foo);
    foo.appendChild (bar);
    foo.appendChild (msxml.createTextNode ("\n"));
    bar.appendChild (msxml.createTextNode ("baz"));
    msxml.save ("c:\\temp\\foo.xml");

    output:

    <foo><bar>baz</bar>
    </foo>

    MSXML is required by law (well, the XML spec) to normalize CRLF to just LF, so if your users demand a DOS-style end of line they're out of luck.

    And I still haven't figured out how to make the thing give me a CRLF at the end of each element. No, XML doesn't require the whitespace, but it would have sure made it easier for my clients to read the file!

    Have you tried setting the preserveWhiteSpace property? See the help docs, "DOM Developer's Guide", "Concepts", "White Space and the DOM". Or try

    Further, they're not going to speak English very well (or they'll have such a thick accent, they might as well be speaking Martian)
    Not so. Many Indians have excellent English, and some have even learned to speak American.

    the granular information you want can be found using the utilities at www.systeminternals.com - though these only monitor filesystem, network, etc. activity and do not forestall villainy.

  7. Re:Instead of focusing on these features, GTK on Whitepaper On GTK+ For Linux Framebuffer · · Score: 1

    because some of us have disabilities which make using the mouse very slow and difficult. my voice recognition software (which I have to use thanks to my RSI) can deal with keystrokes no problem, so applications with shortcuts and hotkeys are *FAR* more usable than those without -- and they should come with them preset, so I don't have to set them up myself. yes, at some point drawing will probably require a mouse-like device and my productivity will slow to a crawl. however, that doesn't mean opening files and running filters and so on should also require a mouse-like device.

    the article must really suck, eh?

  9. a misunderstanding of evolution on Shoemaker-Levy Fragment's Impact Quantified · · Score: 2

    this guy seems to think humanity was evolved for some evolutionary purpose, which seems to me very silly. evolution doesn't have a plan for us. evolution isn't an old man in the sky that figures out the risks of life getting wiped out on Earth and so decides to develop humans for a grand purpose. evolution is just natural selection, unconsciously doing its thing to select genes that code for beneficial adaptations. the fact that one of its products (us) is able to detect a threat to some of its works (life on Earth) is about as intentional as the weather.

  10. infogrip on Game Controllers For The Feet? · · Score: 3

    yes, take a look at http://infogrip.com, they have various foot-operated devices such as mice and switches. I used to use the "no hands mouse" myself.

  11. works for me on Voice Recognition and Programming? · · Score: 1
    I was diagnosed with tendinitis/carpal tunnel about nine months ago, and was forced to learn to program using voice recognition software. I program entirely hands-free, using Dragon Naturally Speaking Professional; while I haven't tried other systems, I don't imagine I could do without its programmable macros.

    I'm not sure whether I'm less productive; I used to just puke code out in great volume, but now I'm slower and, I think, more deliberate. one absolute requirement, though, is PRIVACY; I used to have a cubicle, but my neighbors and I drove each other crazy once I started talking to my computer. Fortunately my manager was able to find me an office.

    There's some good information on the Web for people like us. You can try http://www.codevox.com or http://www.voicedeveloper.com to start with.
