Yeah, I think it comes back to the original idea of using XML for this very purpose.
Using XML, we will have all the goodies of having a language-specific format and also a common ground that is Unicode text, for generating Diffgram, for example.
I think you're mostly correct. ASN.1 is very cool and efficient, but the problem is standardisation. Same goes with GZip. If everybody decides to use Gzip everytime they send an XML document, we will have a solution.
I have to object to the shorter tag names though -- this method does not get rid of the inherent redundancy in the open/close brackets, whitespaces and the ASCII data inside, which can be further compressed.
I develop on Java and.NET, been using XML full time for last 3 years, and yes, we had the XML bloat problem and tried various things including shortening the tag names.. Which didn't help much.
At the moment we're getting around the problem by the gzip method, which is non standard.
I did RTFA, and to be quite honest, I never knew that there were commercial p2p companies after the fall of Napster and co...
It seems that PiXPO, the company referred by the article is selling a p2p application that lets its users share photos (not trolling, but I don't see the point) - does any Slashdotter use commercial p2p products? If so, for what reason?
I think the size of a star and the size of its planets are completely unrelated -- intuitively thinking, they should be random within certain parameters.
For example, binary stars are quite common, and there will be some binary star systems with relatively small stars -- that are only little larger than the star threshold mass.
If one of the stars were to be only a little smaller now so it sits below the star threshold mass, we end up with a relatively small star and an absolutely huge planet, that orbit each other.
Ah, but planetary nebulae have little to do with planets at all. It's a misleading name that got stuck to them because they resembled big planets (or something like that).
Planetary nebulae and supernovae remnants would differ in their origin -- the former from red giants and the latter from supernovae (duh), the size, obviously, shape (explosion cloud vs. ejected atmosphere), and the source of radiation that illuminates the nebulae... but I'm not sure how.
Supernovae remnants would have neutron stars in the middle, but what's in the planetary nebulae? anyone?
I don't comment often here, but to say that South Korea is not free at all sounds a bit off the mark.
You see, North Korea is not recognised as a foreign government, and that's stated in the constitution. It is an 'anti-government organisation', much like how US gov. sees Al Qaeda and the likes. That explains (not justifies) the knee-jerk responses from some people in South Korea.
There exists a seldom-invoked anti-communism law, but the invocation of it causes a nation-wide sensation/outrage nowadays.
The media is controlled by..owners? Now, how's that different from any other privately owned company?
DPRK has been better off than South Korea for some time, yes, but that hardly matters now when the North's GDP is 1/17 of the South.
They are completely different. Except for the culture side.
P.S. I am a (South) Korean born New Zealander. I have been over there last time at 2002.
I have read the entire paper in a superficial level - and a few chapters in detail.
The paper is 26 pages long, and excluding the cover and bibliography, the written work is 19 pages.
For writing 19 pages of not-so-technical computer science paper, the authors have referred to 77 different documents. approx. 4 different documents per page.
Did they actually read all of the 77 different documents? If they did, what did they do with that? Did they copy the idea from the documents? if not, are they just a list of some big names to make the paper (which without the cover and bibliography, does not look very serious) look more believable?
the bigger problem is, however, that many of listed 77 documents will have similar scale of bibliography.
So, who does the thinking?

Insightful, yeah :)

I would like to mod you troll, since I'm an Opera fan (both music and the web browser), but sadly I you have a point.
'Opera' is just a matter of personal taste, I guess.
We need a sticker saying that Pluto might not be a planet.
And another one for 'Do not eat Pluto'.

RelaxNG vs. W3C Schema makes a much more interesting discussions. DTD is obsolete in many ways... and most of the XML parsers support schema now.
Computer/human interfaces may become so intimate that users may reasonably be considered superhumanly intelligent.
/.er on Google!
That sounds like an average
