I'll have to ditto this. I've worked on over 10 books now (all for the ColdFusion market) for 3 different publishers, and in every case, they handed me a very precise template I had to follow, and it was always Word.
Frankly though I didn't mind. It let me focus more on the content and ignore crap like 'What font should I use for image captions?'
While it's nice to see my state get some attention, I wish the media outlets would recognize that there are more cities than NO. I'm in Lafayette right now, right about dead center for the track, yet none of the big media companies even have anyone out here (as far as I know, I'm not watching all channels at once). It's like Rita - I still think people forget that there were two strong hurricanes that year.
I agree 100%. What also ticks me off is the comment I saw about needing weeks to do in CF what could be done in hours in Perl. Well, I bet I could do what he did in hours in CF, but weeks in Perl. It's all in what your used to.
Also - did I read right? Did someone complain about CF costing money? Well, geeze, I guess Allaire is evil then, right?
There is nothing wrong about passing structs to custom tags. Contact me off this forum if you want some help in that area.

I agree. What really got me was how the movie wasn't dumbed down in any way. You have to really pay attention to understand what the last 5 seconds of film really means. In fact, I had to explain the significance to a few of my friends. What really gets me is that Hollywood would NEVER do anything that requires anything above the intelligence of a rock.
Also, in the Hollywood version of BWP, one of the guys would have screwed Heather. No question about it.
While I don't think it was predictable, I have to agree about those last few scenes. I've been seeing them run through my head ever since the film. As for not explaining much... that's what you get when you create a film outside of Hollywood.... and I loved it. For once, a film didn't act like the average person in the audience was a freaking idiot. Hollywood seems to think that if a movie isn't understandable by the local village idiot, it won't make money.

This is no longer true in ColdFusion 4.5. The Solaris/Linux/etc versions are native now.
