You may disagree with his p-o-v (a &Deity;-given right on/.), but to call the article a troll is a bit much.
As a developer using and its siblings frequently, the XHTML 2.0 system of calculated heriarchies sounds jolly useful as a replacement, though - if it ever happens.
Agreed.
And, BTW, since his "Part 1" (TFA) was mostly about the WHATWG's offerings, I'd venture that "Part 2" will likely deal more with XHTML 2 (and the W3C). That's just a guess of course, but since his XTech 2005 conference in Amsterdam featured a thoroughly entertaining and provocative HTML5/Webforms2 vs. XHTML2/Xforms "shootout", I'd hazard it's a decent one.
Dude, are you retarded?... The whole point of government is to do what the private sector will not or cannot do.
I don't recall that in the charter of any government. What about things like "common defense" and "general welfare"? I thought that was the point of government, as well as generally protecting the population from itself.
I'm sorry, but "... generally protecting the population from itself."???
You've got to be kidding. Which government is supposed to protect the population from itself? I'd really like to know, so I can be sure not to emigrate there.
Oh, I know such has become U.S. policy as of the last eighty years or so, but that's only because of politicians and fearmongering (can you say "War On Drugs"?) -- certainly not what the Framers intended!
Unfortunately not. Take a look at MojoPortal. Same old abyss of tag soup horror.
It's the "Hey, it looks good in my browser, and that's all that matters, right?" mindset. They still don't get it.
Supposedly (after being hit over the head for so long by so many folks who do get it), the upcoming VS.NET 2005 and ASP.NET 2.0 will indeed emit valid XHTML. I haven't played with the beta, so I can't verify it, but that is what they promise. (Whether it will be *sensible* XHTML is another story altogether...)
Eventually, the Mono/MonoDevelop folks will probably get it too. Until then, enjoy the soup.:)
An Adobe rep told me at a recent XML conference that the future -- even for the technical documentation FM was geared towards -- is InDesign. Period.
Pagemaker on the low end and Framemaker on the high end will probably be supported for some time yet to come, but InDesign already does everything Pagemaker can do (plus a good bit more), and it's slowly but surely encroaching on Frameworker territory.
I did, and I disagree. Gnoppix may be a good LiveCD in six months, but as of right now it's a bit too fat, slow, and buggy. I would rephrase what you said very slightly:
If you like Gnome more than KDE, you should really try BeatrIX.
Like Gnoppix, BeatrIX tracks Ubuntu. Unlike Gnoppix, it uses the Knoppix bootloader for hw detection. Plus, most importantly, "It just works".
Or, if you want to experience Debian/Ubuntu -- heck, make that Linux in general -- without the hassle, just download the BeatrIX ISO, burn it, and boot.

Interesting how you make the above claims as an AC.
You must not get out much. See Edd Dumbill.

Uh, it's late. Make that "FrameMAKER territory ...
