Apparently no one here has done any research on dotNet. One of the features of the framework is that you can have config files from the machine (domain?) level down to the individual.exe, which can specifically instruct the executable to use a particular version of the.dll. Note that the registry is not involved in any way here. In this case, fixing a problem with the dll can be done by releasing a new version of the.dll file, and updating the config file to make all executables use the new version...
BTW, the config files are in XML format (i.e. plain ASCII - where have we seen this before?)...
the thing that i don't like about dtd as well as schema is that they flag documents as invalid if it contains extra stuff.
One of the benefits of schema validation is that it is not a "yes/no" result like DTD validation is. When properly using the PSVI (Post Schema Validation Infoset) you can achieve exactly the results that you want - you will know if the parts of the XML instance that you are interested in are there, constrained by the partial schema that you provide...

DTD vs. XML Schema

This is a misunderstanding of the way schema validation is supposed to work. Schemas have what is called "location hints" which should be used in case you have never before encountered a particular namespace. The key word, however, is "hints" - i.e. you should never have to remotly obtain a schema if you don't need to.
In most cases, if you are doing schema validation, you already know whta schema you can expect, so they should be not only locally available, but also cached in memory...
As for the..."master" XSD schema... you never ever have to get it remotely - the parser should be implementing it already...
I think many people are confusing Relational databases with SQL database - they are not one and the same. In fact, this site, one of the most vocal proponents of relational databases, states that none of the existing SQL databases is a true relational database. A quote from one of their articles ( "Little Relationship to Relational"):
"Not only do most practitioners think that SQL DBMSs are relational, but they actually blame the problems due to SQL's violations of, or lack of adherence to relational principles on the relational model itself!"
In my opinion, there is no reason that an object-oriented environment cannot implement the relational model, and thus be a true relational database.
Patching and license compliance are only a problem in companies with shitty managers who do not have their infrastructure built to handle such issues. Windows 2000 made that stuff pretty damned easy.
You are assuming most MS-based IT infrastructure is built around Windows 2000 and Active Directory. AFAIK, however, most MS-based IT infrastructure is still built on Windows NT 4.0, because
- the upgrade to Active Directory is a pain - Active Directory cannot be fully deployed in heterogenous environments (which is what the majority if large IT shops are)
So the problems faced by Windows-bound IT workers are still very real...
Tarkovsky's Solyaris - Lem's view

Stanislaw Lem's view of Tarkovsky's movie is also negative - he thinks that Tarkovsky totally changed the way Lem wanted to represent Space. Lem's vision was to show space as something full of wonders, and very much worth exploring, while Tarkovsky was showing it as scary and a place where humans don't belong.
In general, Lem doesn't think there is a way to make good movie adaptations of his books. He is not going to even read about the Holywood version, let alone see it (but he is happy with the $1M he got for the rights:-).
The above was in an interview with Lem in the LOT Polish Airlines' in-flight magazine.

Your theory is based on the flawed assumption that a particular music recording, which can be downloaded, is a product, just like a toothbrush. With the unlimitted supply of free music, the product ceases to be the particular recording - the packaging, the presentation (i.e. concerts), and other "add-ons" should become the product.

From the article: McManes said IEEE-USA wants companies to rely on foreign nationals only when they cannot find qualified US citizens to fill jobs.
In other words IEEE-USA wants exactly what the H1B program provides, via the INS regulations on how such a visa is obtained. If they know of instances where the law is being broken through the hiring of non-qualifying H1B workers, they should help the INS by providing them with these examples...
Interestingly enough, the H1A visa program (for foreign nurses) was discontinued for several years. It has been re-instated since, but the years when it was not available must have contributed to the current nursing shortage.
