    Why do you need to modify their schema? Are you also going to modify Microsoft Word to work with your schema modifications? If you need additional nodes in an xml instance that aren't covered in the schema, then reference whatever schema those nodes are defined in.

    but Java 1.5 will leapfrog C# when it introduces generics along with its own version of foreach, and other timesaving features

    Oh that's great. "will" is the operative word. Java is better than C# because of what it "will" come out with.

    You don't think the next specification of C# includes generics? Wake up and smell the coffee.

    "just the C# langauge and the CLI" ... "it's a bullshit token PR jesture."

    The intermediate language that all .NET languages compile to is just a token PR jesture? Anyone is now welcome to build a virtual machine and run time compiler for IL code and there are several projects ongoing w/ this effort. Oh, and you left out the CTS (Common Type System).

    Typical liberal response...use scare tacticts to get your point across. Take a legitimate debate and throw your opponents view to some far out position no one holds.

    No one is or ever will be denied emergency health care in California or any other state. The concern of the rising costs of healthcare and diminishing benefits is ever growing as "managed" healthcare and trial lawyers run amock are an ever increasing burden on the system. It just so happens that locally, here in CA, we have another burden...that of non tax paying illegal immigrants receiving benefits payed for by tax paying citizens. The argument that it's not an issue because you think somehow that we wouldn't have anyone to take out our trash otherwise is one that has and will continue to fall on the deaf ears hard-working tax-paying voting citizens.

  12. Don't Forget the Cookbook on Dynamic HTML: The Definitive Reference (2nd Ed.) · · Score: 1

    Since I have had the recent freedom of no longer being concerned w/ NN 4.7-, I have been untilizing dhtml much more. I picked up the Defenitive guide along w/ it's perfect companion, JavaScript & DHTML Cookbook, also written by Danny Goodman. Like the rest of the cookbook series, it is more of a how to aimed at teaching one how to do the common tasks involved w/ DHTML, from conversions, use of objects & arrays to creating an xml (tree|dropdown|right click) navigation menu.

    IMO, these are the only two books you need to learn DHTML.

    Come on MCSD...List 3 style attributes that the server objects generate that ONLY work with IE.

    Again, the implication made is that ASP.NET was purposely developed to work only w/ IE, and that simply cannot be supported. ASP.NET is a server side technology unlike ActiveX, client VB Script, Flash, etc.

    ASP.NET objects designed just for IE

    I don't know what you're talking about...ASP.NET controls run server side and has little or nothing to do w/ specific browsers.Are you insinuating that the asp.net objects purposely render html code that works only w/ IE? If so, I'd love to see an example of this.

    The only distinction that ASP.NET makes is between "up/down level" browsers, which really only affects a small subset of validation controls. The behaviour difference is whether some javascript validation code is referenced in the page, if you've used one of these validation controls. If this code doesn't work for a particular browser, one is always free to replace/modify it...either way, the validation is always performed server side.

  19. Re:the password (spoilers) on Matrix Reloads to $42.5 Million Opening · · Score: 1

    This thought that "the real world is not real and only a creation of the machines" is silly in my mind.

    Obviously, Neo will have to take control of the Matrix, thereby giving him greater control of the machines in the real world. The machines can't destroy the humans as they need them, giving irony to their eventual downfall. Humans are plugged into the Matrix and it can't be destroyed if humans have any hope of defeating the machines.

    In revolutions, I expect to see , as supported by the trailer, great/awesome/fantastic battles in the real world where man uses machines. It reminds me of moments in Robotech...and I hope to see Morpheous using a machine to throw down the machines that will be trying to continue to dominate the real world.

    The humans will rise within "the middle of the earth to the blackened skys above." That is all the action I need to see.
