... if the submitter had read the article. From the submitter:
The article describes users that TiVo's mistaken for Korean, for gay, even for "a pregnant gay man.
From the article:
Like TiVo, other techno-profilers run hard with limited information. Ray Everett-Church of Fremont, Calif., who is gay, ordered "Queer as Folk" videos from Amazon.com. Understandably, the site began suggesting gay-related calendars and books. Then he bought a baby book for a pregnant friend. So for weeks, the site also recommended parenting books. He says it was as if Amazon.com decided he was "a pregnant gay man."
Regelous' laptop still contains an early sequence in which a pair of fighters--an Orc and a human--began a strange dance borne of too-finely balanced combat and obstacle avoidance modules.
This kind of reminds me of the middle-school "proms" we would have at graduation.
... then they might actually follow the standards that are out there...
What are you talking about? Microsoft is fully supporting the W3C XML Schema specification. Their support for it in version 4.0 of their parser is pretty good. I don't understand what you are talking about in regards to Longhorn.
This is not in the least bit "insightful". It's pure FUD. Microsoft implemented a schema type language in XML called XDR (XML Data Reduced). They stated upfront that this was simply an intermediary until the full XSD spec was finished. As of version 4.0,their parser supports both schema types, with the recommendation that you use the newer, standard schema type (XSD).
I do not use BizTalk, so I'm not sure of the status of that product using XML Schemas, but I'm sure support for them is not far behind.
Ok, tell me, how do I call something from Visual Basic (or even better, MS Access) that has a CORBA interface? I'm sure there are ways of doing it, but the simplicity of communicating through simple text is the benefit of using XML. Yes, there are trade-off's in performance, but in most of the places I've worked, the time for development and simplicity of support is more important than the extra few milliseconds you might gain doing things the most efficient way possible.
Why do you think they call it XDocs?? Because it is not straight-up XML.
Your logic astounds me. Because they don't call it "XML", it must not be "straight-up XML". Do you know anything about XML? There are a ton of DTD/Schema standards out there that describe a particular layout of XML, but they are all well-formed XML. XDocs will be no different. It is simply a name they have given a schema.
I'm getting sick of seeing these type of posts from people who obviously know nothing about XML. Please try harder next time.
If this is technically feasible, I would definately think that is the way to go. However, as I mentioned in another response in this thread, I don't think it works that way.
I guess if you could have two ISP's operating in a given area using the same spectrum, without interfering with each other, than there would be no need to license to individual companies. However, I don't think that is possible, which means that certain sections must be individually licensed.
For example, interstate highways belong to the public, but everyone can use them.
Do you really think there is a comparison between the two? Do you want the government responsible for creating and setting up these kind of high-tech networks?
to be sold to private interest, rather than be preserved for the public.
Ah yes, it would be much better for the government to make that space available and then not sell it to a private corpration. That way, we can all sit around and think to ourselves, "I'm glad that spectrum is open for broadband..... IT'S TOO BAD WE CAN'T USE IT!!!"
Does anyone have a more in-depth understanding of what these two senators are trying to pass?
Hmm, how about you read the article? It says quite clearly what they are intending to do.
The girls, you could argue, are just a distraction in James Bond films. The gadgets are the real stars, and time and time again, they save Bond's skin.
This reminds me of what has happened when countries tax the snot out of cigarettes. It usually drives people to underground markets to avoid paying the taxes on them. The market will only bear a certain price before people resort to various illegal methods of skirting around that price.
The answer to this "problem" is fairly straight forward. Either you increase spending in the area of law enforcement (which seems to be the direction we're going in the U.S.) or the market has to lower the price.
... the barage of posts talking about constitional rights, the Bush Administration and, of course, the 569 jokes about the "terrorists already winnning". But seriously, does anyone thing they have an absolute Constitional Right to anonymity when they use the internet or check out books in the library?
I know that even posing the question is going to be seriously unpopular, but it should be asked.
Microsoft's DTD (Document Type Definitions) are proprietary, which makes use of the open framework XML just as proprietary.
FUD, FUD and more FUD, only on Slashdot!
Microsoft released XDR because XSD was not ready and DTD's suck. You will find their latest parser almost fully supports the XSD format. And it is "almost" because XSD was just recently finished. I don't know of any parser out there that is fully compliant yet. I would bet anyone that when XDoc's come out, the schema for them will be in XSD.
1) Make sure the article is on Microsoft.
2) Include some childish comment like: concerning software bundling (or should that be bungling?) into its OS
3) ???
4) SUBMIT!
Welp, not true. Gore got more votes than Bush did.
BZZZT, try again. I said that congressional races were determines by the majority of votes. Obviously, the Presidential campaign is not the same way. We all know that the electoral college elects the President, with the states selecting different ways to pick those electors (some have take all slates of electors, others allocate them based on counties, etc.).
I realize for Bush haters that is a tough reality to swallow, but alas, it is true.
Just because you get more votes, doesn't mean you win.
You moron, that's exactly how one wins a congressional seat. You can try to sound real witty and "in the know" with stupid comments like "It's all about the Benjamins", but you still sound like a moron.

Perhaps because it is more widely accessable to all languages?
Not all languages can use CORBA, but all that I've ever worked with can read and write simple text.

I could be wrong though.
How many times is this joke going to be posted and modd'ed +5 funny? Yes, we get it! HA!
Do you really think there is a comparison between the two? Do you want the government responsible for creating and setting up these kind of high-tech networks?
Insightful huh?
Let's take a look:
Ah yes, it would be much better for the government to make that space available and then not sell it to a private corpration. That way, we can all sit around and think to ourselves, "I'm glad that spectrum is open for broadband..... IT'S TOO BAD WE CAN'T USE IT!!!"

Again, how was this insightful?
Obviously written by a Nerd.
... about this thing is to have it include a radio that supports OGG.
I think this is the funniest thing I have ever read in my life.
Yeah, how dare that ol' meanie administration actually tries to enforce laws! Boohoo!
My gosh, an intelligent and well-thought out compromise! Quick, MOD this guy down!

I'm wondering if we'll see some writing like the following that was mysteriously discovered by the church:
