Hey, Thats sounds like requirements gathering which is part of one of those processes sold by Rational so it is covered by intellectual property rights so developing this kind of technology might need the blessing of Rational..
Just because, India is attempting to close down one group , and, the inability of ISPs to actually managing to close down just that one caused the shutdown. Indian govt. did not ask for shutting down the whole Yahoo groups. While, we can debate whether or not a govt. has rights to shut down a group (which it definitely does in its territory) or close down the complete communication channel itself.. It just comes down to the fact that ISPs were unable to close down that one group.
It is not is a statement about india being less democratic because of this. The fact that that many newspapers and journalists are up in arms about this is statement about its fundamental philosophy being sound.
Once in a while, every country slips up.

BTW: Generics are going to be part of the next generation (whidbey?) C# that will be announced in PDC this october by Microsoft. Check out GotDotNet site blogs (http://www.gotdotnet.com/blogs) for some stuff about this stuff.
Also, Microsoft is planning on some major changes to be announced in PDC. Much earlier than Java . I would think Java needs to dazzle developers more. Somehow, it has become... umm.. stagnant. It introduces new stuff every release but nothing that makes you say, ah ha.. that will make my life easier going forward. For crying out loud, You had to beat SUN over the head before they even said SOAP.. Oh well,
if you ever read the "Pragmatic Programmer" book about software developer practices, it mentions that they used code generation for many things. Code generation definitely helps when you have many similar but not same implementation.. But, in Java or any other object oriented languages, inheritence can be used to avoid similar looking code (which is what code generation would do). But, even here, I think the UI pages, or template based generators definitely help. There was a tool by DevelopMentor which used to generate code for ATL. It was based on templates..
XML is more of a Data description language. UML is more of a Design and prototype description language. XML, You can use it right in your sources while doing data exchange and what have you.. UML, is mostly useful in coming up with that design and how to deploy this stuff etc.
On a related note, there is an article in a recent Software development magazine on using UML to design XML applications.(I dont have the URL handy.. Sorry).
I wonder are there really that many UML users who actually use it for everyday design and deployment requirements? For some reason, It just feels like a language invented to get Rational its share of market. Microsoft did that with VB and C#, Sun did it with Java, and Rational did that with UML so that they can sell more Roses..
Well, Good for them.
I wonder what changed in the past 6 or 8 months that MS is trying to work so hard towards making GPL visible to the end users. Its not like an average user would care one way or the other..
GPL has been a Software developer's thing. Only they knew and cared about the licensing of the software. Why is it that MS is going gung-ho against GPL? I think there are a couple of possibilities.
1. Linux and other GPLed software is gaining too much importance and MS is uncomfortable with that.
2. MS wants to sell.Net web services as a way of providing services to the customers without them thinking about GPL/BSD/Mozilla licensing.
3. MS does not want to fight SUN or other unix server vendors. So, it is trying to pick a fight with Linux which seems to be the easiest target because of what it stands for.
4. MS is trying to justify the cost of Windows XP and.Net services.
I wonder which one this might be..??
Actually, This kind of a thing is already implemented for IE. Check out QuickClick.
Which does exactly what Windows XP is attempting to do. Of course, QuickClick was implemented by a third party (I dont know if MS helped them in this development or not). And there used to be Ads that used to run on TV about this. Now that NBCi is sort of dead, I guess there might not be any more development in this regard.
If someone took pains to download QuickClick, That person might be interested in the SmartTags as well.I guess its just a matter of choice of the user. As a web site developer, I can never have a say about what they do with end result HTML.For all I care, They might feed it to a HTML scraper and show it in an application.
