You have absolutely NO idea what you are talking about, and of course have been modded +3 insightful. Good one mods.
XML is extensible by it's very nature. By itself, an xml file is just that, an xml file, it means absolutely NOTHING without context and definition.
This is what DTD's do. They don't limit xml in any way, rather they describe a particular use of xml. For example: SVG, MathML and XHTML are all languages that use xml. Each one of these languages have a DTD that define the format for a valid xml document FOR THAT LANGUAGE.
Just because a DTD for SVG exists doesn't mean that anything at all has changed with xml itself.
Next, XSLT is a technology with a very specific purpose, simply put: To take an xml file as input and create a new xml file for output based on the rules written into the transform.
So, with all of that said, there is absolutely NO reason why there shouldn't be a DTD repository, and again, there is no reason why there shouldn't be a PhotoAlbum DTD in that repository. What problems would this cause? None. What benefits could be observed? Instead of everyone needing an xml document to describe photo albums rolling their own format, people might just reuse a standard DTD to do so. And application writers just might too. And lo and behold, Application X on platform Y might be able, with no work involved, open Album AA Created by Application BB on platform CC.
Sure, a warrant is needed if they wish to use specific information they collect in court, but don't kid yourself...they deffinately don't need a warrant to tap you. They just use information collected this way to then find another legitimate reason to get a real warrant...if their initial tap warranted it in the first place. (Sorry about the pun;-)
Ah, so because the parhelia doesn't meet your extremely specific needs, then it must just be crap ehh?
You should have asked, I would have told you right up front, as would most people whom know anything about current graphics cards, that the parhelia is NOT the right card for YOUR needs, so don't bother.
This is BS. It's my peers that have and are having kids these days. We're the generation that grew up on video games first. You can't tell me that we don't know about video games, pure BS all the way.
It's laziness, plain and simple. Take some responsibility parents, I know I do.
More importantly I hate the fact that windows wont allow you to move even slightly away from what they decide you are allowed to do.
First, are you talking windows, or.NET. You should be talking.NET based on the context of this thread.
So, assuming you are talking.NET, well, you're plain and simply wrong. One of the beauties of.NET is that you can do anything you want with it. Don't like the behavior of a system class? Doesn't let you do something you'd like to? Then override the implementation and do your worst. It's just that easy.
If there is a specific case in this study where you can say that they are comparing unoptomized java code with highly optimized.NET code, then please prove so. Otherwise, you are being a hypocrite.
I have serious doubts about their not knowing that this was a 12 year old girl.
Can you sue a house? I really don't think so...IANAL, but I am pretty sure you have to file suit against an actual person (or a corporation, since corporations are treated as persons in the eyes of the law).
I fucking hate my closest neighbor, whom lives a half click away and insists on blasting away in his 'back-yard' for the better part of most weekends.
You don't think I can hear that? You don't think my kids can hear that? You don't think my dog freaks out every single time? You don't think a stray bullet could possibly travel that far?
If you want to target practice, go to a fucking range. There is absolutely NO excuse for blasting away in your 'back-yard'.
And I don't give a DAMNED about statistics. If even a single person has ever been killed by a stray bullet by someone shooting in their backyard, which has happened alot more than once, that's too many. Or is there a number of innocent people killed by guns that is acceptable?
Don't you dare pull fucking cancer and heart-attack rates in that, that is so fucking cowardly. Got a real excuse? Didn't think so.
One could purchase a song on iTunes, thus purchasing the right to own that song, then download an MP3 of that song from whatever P2P is the flavour of the week, then give this to the purchaser upon resale of that song?
Of course, legally if this is possible (which I believe it would be), he would be transferring ownership of the rights to that song making the iTunes copy he still has in his posession illegal.
(I.E.: It would deffinately NOT be legal to resell the song more than once, just as it would be illegal, technically, to purchase a CD, rip a copy, then sell the CD and continue using the ripped copy)
Look Fuckwit, if you can quote me as to where I ever even hinted that developers shouldn't make games like GTA Vice City, then you win. (BTW, wanna put money on this? I could stand some free cash if you're up for it)
I never ever said that at all you fucktard, why don't you fucking wake up and READ.
Opera did not come up with Bayesian filtering. You didn't explicitly say that, but you suggested that if mozilla had it, then they copied it from Opera...which is misleading.
Lets be fair across the board here, most features that make it into most commercial applications were taken from somewhere else entirely...not innovated in house. (Usually university research or some other such academic pursuit)
The innovation to be had is in integrating appropriate features in useful ways into said applications...and very rarely does everyone even agree on what features are useful and what features aren't.

Getting some of the big picture?
I don't believe it's called "Embedded Compact Framework".
I do believe you are making an assumption though, and you know what that means...
Sure, a warrant is needed if they wish to use specific information they collect in court, but don't kid yourself...they deffinately don't need a warrant to tap you. They just use information collected this way to then find another legitimate reason to get a real warrant...if their initial tap warranted it in the first place. (Sorry about the pun ;-)
Ah, yes, since it's a review about a book with the words "Compact Framework" in the title, he'd better be damned careful ehh!
Sorry, but that was a pathetic thing to nitpick about in this context.
Ah, so because the parhelia doesn't meet your extremely specific needs, then it must just be crap ehh?
You should have asked, I would have told you right up front, as would most people whom know anything about current graphics cards, that the parhelia is NOT the right card for YOUR needs, so don't bother.
That'll help, what do you think a firewall is?
I'd think that firewall's would fall into this same category.
You didn't actually mention Hitler, but I call you on it anyways and officially kill this thread ;)
E=mc2 is a statement, what do you suppose a calculator should return when asked that?

You cannot compare J2EE or .Net to PHP/MySQL, that makes no sense. You would be comparing platforms to 2 specific technologies (apples and oranges).
You can compare C#/MSSqlServer to PHP/MySQL if you like, but that is not what this study was about.
Well then, the 12 year old girl isn't even being sued is she?
Am I not paying attention or is the article misleading and wrong?
My question was totally valid based on the information presented in the headline and in the article itself.
I have serious doubts about their not knowing that this was a 12 year old girl.
Can you sue a house? I really don't think so...IANAL, but I am pretty sure you have to file suit against an actual person (or a corporation, since corporations are treated as persons in the eyes of the law).
Anyone know for sure?
Glad to see you read the whole thread so as you'd understand the context of my rant.
Off-topic would have been appropriate, but modding this to Flamebait just proves what is wrong with this system.
(Yes, I know, another Flamebait or Troll mod coming down the pipe!)
I live on a farm you idiot.

Unfortunately it wouldn't likely play out that way.
They don't have to issue a public apology of any sort, why would they. Chances are that when all their stock is sold off...well...nothing.
There is a chance and hope that point 3 may happen, but other than that I don't hold much hope for public retribution.
It would have been obviously sarcastic if he had left off the Y2K reference...it just doesn't really make sense in the context presented.
I did realize that he was probably going for sarcasm, it just wasn't executed very well, ala my point.

Sorry but you loose.
Fuck, you tool.
Now that's fucking funny, oh for a mod point!
Thanks anyways!
Did you word that wrong or are you totally ignoring the blackout that happened just over 2 weeks ago?
I hope you just worded that wrong and really meant:
And look: we did nothing, and we paid for it.

I don't believe there to be anyone, even mister bill himself, that would have ever predicted a secure and bug free windows.

Sheesh, I can't even keep the windshield on my car secure and bug free
