I once barely avoided rear-ending a stationary car on a freeway. The two reasons I could were (a) I had started practising the '3 second gap' a couple of days prior and (b) my 20 year old car had new tyres put in recently. The sports car behind me (with much better brakes) also managed to stop in time. The truck behind the sports car didn't stop in time -- the sports car was a writeoff, and my car suffered major damage from the follow-on strike by the sports car. The truck's insurance paid for all the damage.

XML Sample files Store sample documents in a \Samples subdirectory under the directory storing the word files. The word document must 'include' them by using the "Insert\File\Insert as Link" functionality in MS word.
XML Structure tables The most useful way to illustrate XML visually doing the following: 1. Take an XML document that illustrates as much of the schema as possible. For instance, this could be a document that includes all optional elements. (This may not be possible in some cases where a subelement can be only one of several different types - in this case, you could use different tables, or even auto-include Word tables.)
2. Pretty print the document using a text or XML editor so XML is properly indented. Remove contents and closing tags that occur on one line so that only the structure of the XML is shown. For instance, remove '20020302T00:00:00</RequestedDeliveryDate>' from the line below
You may want to convert tab indentation to spaces at this point so that space is more efficiently used.
3. Paste the document into a word table with additional columns to add usage notes, and other metadata for each element. This is best done with the page setup in portrait mode.

Nope, you got it wrong.
We pump 'C' from underground.
We oxidise the 'C' to C02 to get energy
Reduce the C02 to 'C' again, then store it underground -- no problem (eg: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_Petroleum_Reserve#Facilities )

No. Circumstances dictate who is at fault, but in the majority of real-world cases, the person who got rear ended is not at fault (even partially).

Yup, just getting about practical, but still expensive, and still using electricity generated mostly by coal-fired power plants.
Petrol is still the best option.

If documented properly, it readable by others too.
The issue is that many programmers take undue advantage of Perl conciseness by not documenting their particular sleights of hand.

"On the flip-side, direct brain I/O is also a major step towards William Gibson's Neuromancer and other cyberpunk dark futures."
I started reading, and first thought it said something about direct brain I/O being a step backward for Mel Gibson...
By the same logic, you can't blame the serial killer since he had an abusive childhood. Or the murderer who got taunted at school?
Or can you blame them for their decisions AND blame others for _influencing_ those decisions?

Yes.
It's also really true.
