  1. this is a MSXSL tutorial, not a XSLT tutorial on XML Namespaces and How They Affect XPath and XSLT · · Score: 1
    Since when is JavaScript part of XSLT? Leave it to Microsoft to jam a Javascript interpreter INTO a XSLT processor! Oh, and a VBScript interpreter too, since you can do that, too.

    (Project for today: write an XSLT processor that formats your hard drive.)

    This whole tutorial relies on using M$'s XSLT processor; otherwise, this example won't work. Feh.

    <msxsl:script language="JavaScript" implements-prefix="newfunc">
    function SayHello() {
    return "Hello World";
    }
    </msxsl:script>

    "N-gram" is a general term meaning N tokens in a sequence in a text. So 1-gram means a one token sequence , 2-gram means two tokens, ...etc.
    It's used in speech recognition and part-of-speech tagging. You use a corpus to estimate probabilities of these various sequences, and that helps you with trying to recognize new, unseen sequences.

    Just did a google search; turns out they are also used for genetic research...

    That's also why I chuckled at your "native data type in Common Lisp" since that's meaningless as a feature unless you've got hardware support for rational storage.

    Sorry, I don't get it. What does hardware support have to do with it? What about it renders rational numbers in Lisp meaningless?

    our society is much more egalitarian than Europe's..

    More egalitarian? By what measure?
    How do you respond to this article?

    "Conservatives try to excuse this inequality by arguing that American income and social mobility is uniquely high, as befits an exceptional civilisation. It is not; indeed it compares badly with the Europe about whom American conservatives are so patronising"

    Being clientside, however, they do require a lot of bandwidth to download to the client before the client can see the flash movie. Not as much as Java, though, you're right.

  12. Re:SDL integration on An Open Source Direct3D 8.0 Wrapper for Open GL · · Score: 0

    I think the poster meant that it would be nice to have a generic translation layer for all of Microsoft multimedia API's to SDL, since SDL is a general multimedia library covering sound, 2D graphics, 3D graphics (which would be a call into OpenGL as the poster says), movie playback, etc.

  13. Re:Installer Problem? on mozilla.org Releases Mozilla 0.9.8 · · Score: 0

    Try this :
    1. rm -rf /usr/local/mozilla
    2. run ./mozilla-installer; choose your options (then it tries to download components and crashes..)
    3. repeat step 2 a few more times. it will crash each time, but get more and more close to finishing. Eventually it will finish installing and popup "installation has finished".

    I don't know why this works, but it does for me..I used the nightly build from today, which is 0.9.8+.
    Guess I should file a bug...

    China is not as backward as you seem to think. They have a large computer hardware manufacturing capacity and they are not starting to foster a domestic software economy using India as their model.
