    You miss the point entirely, edinho sweetie. But don't you worry your pretty little head; I will explain it to you. 488 is not 58.60409% of any integer. So unless fractional votes are allowed, 488 cannot be 58.60409% of the total.

    Michael Jackson is not my for-tay. Mushrooms and anchovies are not my fort.

    Neither one of those is a good example of the proper use of forte. On the chance that you are not trolling, here is the definition.

    It is the Forté

    As the word is properly pronounced like fort, not for-tay, there's no point to sticking an accent on there.

    Seems you have constructed your own straw man. While what you said was interesting and educational (to me, at least), it addresses statements he didn't make. All he said was XML isn't compact, even when compressed.

    ...f this is one of the dreaded consequences of outsourcing jobs to India.

    No, this is the dreaded consequence of every laborer in America expecting to live in luxury, and demanding the salary to make it happen. Yes, it has worked for a generation, as companies had little choice but to pony up the dough. But now communications and education have improved to the point where out-sourcing offshore is practical on a small scale, and all the goofs who have been taking home big paychecks for being able to do realtively simple jobs are starting to scratch their heads.

    Just yesterday a guy I know from years ago, who I wouldn't trust to build a model airplane, hopped out of his $50,000 pickup truck and was moaning that Boeing was laying off workers and out-sourcing everything they could, and where else was he going to find an $84,000 a year job?
