XML doesn't mean that computers will be able to classify information based on semantics, it just packages data so that the computers don't have to do that work. Somebody still has to mark up the information.
I doubt it. Sony Music was complaining about MP3s while their electronics division was looking at making MP3 players. People used to talk about this all the time on/. back in 1999 or so. It's tough to stay organized when your company is so big.
I read this book on Safari. Really, nothing in this book is advanced -- it's just about all covered much better in Bloch's Effective Java and in free articles online.
Some parts that contribute to my bad review:
The first chapter tells us that RTTI is used by the compiler to prevent type errors.
Not only do the code examples dealing with the final keyword not work, they very obviously don't work.
Oreilly has a good track record for their books, but this one made me think they'll give anyone a book deal.
People get dehydrated out there as well. I think we need bottled water available for sale every 300 feet. Someone might also ruin his or her shoes -- there ought to be niketowns out in the woods. And sometimes people camp and they forget their silverware. There should be an establishment that sells silverware. And what if those mountains and waterfalls start to seem a little dull? There needs to be a Blockbuster video accessible with all the latest releases.
Gee, the forests seem so inconvenient and intimidating. I think you've stumbled onto something.
Just to be nitpicky (although people make this mistake all the time), big Oh means asymptotic upper bound, not lower bound. When I want to argue the "slowness" of an algorithm, I need to provide an asymptotic lower bound with Omega. If f(n) is asymptotically bounded above and below by g(n), then we can say f(n) is Theta(g(n)).
Third, skill as a programmer depends a lot on natural talent, and there's a lot of ego involved. There are lots of really gifted individuals who would rightfully object to being grouped in with people who took a six month course at the local community college.
The thing I find annoying is that I have to do all the legwork and keep records. If the gov't has the ability to find out what I bought, why not just send me a bill? Or have the online retailer charge the tax.
The 'poor quality' argument is a favorite of the "HEY EVERYONE, I DON'T OWN A TV, LET ME TELL YOU WHY" crowd.
As a member of that crowd, I say that yes, we often do make these kinds of statements with a hefty dose of self righteousness. However, one cannot help but be amused by people who, on one hand, moan about the awful injustices of cable pricing, yet, on the other, continue to watch.
Also be sure to put tinfoil around your wallet. Seems like they introduced the new $20 right around the same time RFID tags got popular. Coincidence? I don't think so!:)

This is nothing more than, "You have something we want, therefore you need to give it to us."
The trademark/domain issues only create confusion. It seems Katie T's lawyers are hoping to capitalize on that confusion.

Camels!
check in the garbage.
Games have plenty of religion. Unreal Tournament 2004 would not be much fun if I couldn't be reincarnated every time I died.
Maybe, but not a team sport, because you can win single-handedly.
It sounds like before we travel, we should enable the login or bios password.
As a few people with box cutters and mace demonstrated, you don't need big guns to send a country into turmoil.
In Soviet Ru...hell, everywhere, Joe Camel strangles YOU.
Or even worse, you realize you are a turd.

are you schizophrenic?

That's because it does.
How does this not apply to any other profession?

Their death metal section probably consists of Counting Crows. Then you go to the extreme death metal section, which has some Def Leppard albums.
Why...what's the long term goal? It's not like we've improved anything on this planet.
Darl is going to enter the courtroom wearing a neck brace.
This really changes the scrupulous image that the casinos had going for them.

At the very least, they could pass out free lube.
