"Some of the things that we do are not represented easily in XML.
I'm not an XML expert and I don't know what Microsoft are trying to do that XML will not accommodate, but, does this not point to a deficiency in the current XML standard? If it does, then wouldn't it be to the benefit of everybody to update the XML standard?
Of course, that does not mean that Microsoft will, or should, use that or any other standard. It is their right to do just what the hell they want. Just like the Open Source people.
rm -Rf / as nonroot will make you give a sigh of relief. As root will be your nightmare
When I was learning *nix I managed to perform rm -Rf/usr/bin. At that moment I graduated from the University of Adversity, School of Hard Knocks. You learn a lot at that place but, boy, are the fees high!
"A" is for "Assembly". "C" is for, well, "C". There are some of us fortunate souls out here that know and remember well that there is a letter 'twixt and between those two - "B".
Ah, what a language!
None of that commie-typing stuff. You want a variable? You've got it! And, to paraphrase Henry Ford, you can have any sized variable you want - provided it exactly one word long!
You can forget those limp-wristed compiler-generated warnings about truncation and type conversions. We, the hairy-chested and testerone-charged Programmers (yes, that's with a "P" not your yuppie "p") knew what we were doing. We didn't need "no steekin' compiler" to tell us about our program!
Never forget the Real Programmers Creed: If it was difficult to write, make it difficult to maintain!
Now if someone could tell me where I can get by card-punch repaired, all will be well in my universe! And that proves that I'm not stuck in the past. Just last year I threw away my paper-tape I/O devices. But I'm damned if I'm gunna spend money on some high-tech rodent - the bloody cat would think its Xmas again!
OK, just for the record - move over sliced bread - valgrind is here!
Oops,
This post was supposed to be humourous. The phrase was supposed to be surrounded by
flame-protection mode=off,delay=immediate...and...
flame-protection mode=on,delay=60hours
I used the greater / less than signs so I guess that's what stuffed me up. I blame my keyboard!:)
PS: How do I edit / delete one of my posts? doh!!!

And, yes, there's a whole lot of sfa between Darwin and Port Augusta (the southern end of the Stuart Highway) - I've driven it many times.
Who can remember the kerfuffle about Jensen's and Eysenck's research on race-based IQ?
Nah, they just want to get to #1 on the seti@home scoreboard!
Off-topic, but I disagree with your .sig Real programmers have sixteen fingers. real programmers only need two fingers!

A 1/4 mile highway across state?! If Texas was any good there'd only be roads going into it!
that Australia with change from Down Under to Up There?
This begs the question: Why is there a 5 degree incline? Get out the pick and shovel and level it off! ;-)
