XML at least has a standard format and syntax, even a couple of pre-defined entities. The biggest benefit comes from XML parsing libraries (though I have yet to sucessfully figure out how to use them to read XML). I agree with you that it is a pretty flimsy "language" or what have you but it is less of a buzzword than DHTML.
You confirmed my suspicions that DHTML was nothing more than HTML + JS + CSS.
I do agree that you are "Doing Dynamic HTML" if you create / alter HTML on the fly.
BUT the buzzword (and apparently that's all it is) DHTML is thrown around so much that they (users of the word DHTML) make it seem like it is its own language. Example:
Newb: " I want to learn to be a web programmer, What should I learn?"
Some Idiot:" You should learn HTML and DHTML. Then you will be set."
Then the newb goes out looking for a DHTML language reference but guess what: The language doesn't exist.
Thank you. You've confirmed my suspicions. What is the POINT of calling something "Dynamic HTML" if all it is is a regular damn HTML page with some JavaScript and CSS? I agree with your opinion that simple javascript in a page doesn't make a page Dynamic. However, I also think that no matter WHAT you do with JavaScript or Style sheets you aren't doing any DHTML at all. You are doing JavaScript and Style Sheets! Dynamic HTML. . . Bah!
I was under the impression that DHTML was just a buzzword. And that when anyone was talking about DHTML what they really meant was HTML pages with JavaScript or VBScript in them to make them do more than static HTML. Am I correct? If I'm wrong - than what the hell is DHTML?
How many times have you seen stories in the news about a badly decomposed body being found and they "think" it might belong to so and so who was murdered . . And it also has interesting applications for anthropology.
So what did the people from africa thousands of years ago actually look like? Has human physical appearance changed over time? According to data collected from the evolution of human appearance what will we look like in the future? I'm thinking huge round skulls but who knows.:)
The problem is, Close to 90% or more of computers are running Windows instead. I still have some people I encounter that have never heard of the concept of a computer without windows, and get downright defensive of the concept of a computer WITHOUT windows.:(

You dork. He didn't say that knowing these names was a cause for self-respect.
He is playing on the stereotype (albeit a mostly accurate one) of the slashdot reader as being a computer geek.
And that cliche involves the appreciation of video games. So - he says if you consider yourself a typical slashdot reader you know who these people are. If you don't than . . . You must be new here.
Your link to apple didn't work on my computer. Looks like you are sending session information in the link. Any way you can send a new one (that is not based on a session)?
I hate to be the guy to reply to your Sig, but Carpe Alec is "Sieze the fish" in Latin. Sorry I don't know the Latin word for Carp (I doubt there is one).
It bothers me when phrases are used in mixed languages like "Mexican restaurante" instead of "Restaurante Mexicano".
As a storage technology, LV-ROM has been superseded by CD-ROM and DVD, leaving the BBC Domesday discs perilously close to becoming unreadable
Am I hearing this right? They make it sound like they only had 1 copy of this on LaserDisc - and since everyone's players were going to shit the content was in danger of being lost forever. ???
Good call. At first I thought it might be cool to get product reviews in the store - but after reading your post it is obvious that this technology is not the best way to get product reviews.
Regular old wireless internet would be the way to go here so you could just google your product. No need for Best Buy to hand pick reviews for me - it would be like the waitress at the greasy spoon:
You can turn off the integrated stuff via the bios
Hey good Idea - never thought of that. But it still sucks that good mobos with no sound lan or graphics are hard to find. We still have to pay for the "features" even if we don't need 'em.

If everybody in my city were friends with a black guy that would mean that the average black guy had about 7,000 friends.

At least you didn't say 'Planeteers'
I can think of:
I guess that makes sense. Someone has to program the computer, right? We must have the technique down in real life before automating it on a computer.
So what did the people from africa thousands of years ago actually look like? Has human physical appearance changed over time? According to data collected from the evolution of human appearance what will we look like in the future? I'm thinking huge round skulls but who knows. :)
I think you mean apprehensive

Not every article on slashdot will have profound significance to your life. Get over it.
You don't "build" dinosaurs with Lego blocks - you assemble them. Give the engineers at Lego some credit.
Ok, Thanks for the post - it was interesting

That was funny. I have mod points but can't mod you up 'cause I'm already in this thread.
It bothers me when phrases are used in mixed languages like "Mexican restaurante" instead of "Restaurante Mexicano".
10 CALs = $1199. ~= 1199. + 1199. + 999. (5 CALS).
Photoshop = $700
Windows = $200
15000 % 700 = 21 photoshops
21 * $200 = $4200 in Windows fees
$15000 + $4200 = $19200 NOT $50000
It would be an extra $4000 NOT $40000
but what the hell do I know anyway.
At least I hope that was an attempt at humor.
Then please explain how software companies are remaining profitable?
If you want something that has a price tag, you buy it.
I'm happy with paying for my software if it works.
Am I hearing this right? They make it sound like they only had 1 copy of this on LaserDisc - and since everyone's players were going to shit the content was in danger of being lost forever. ???
You probably just F'd up the install. One crash? None since? Why not dismiss it as a fluke and not worry about it.
