The results of inner joins are subsets of Cartesian products, but I would hope that an RDBMS would calculate inner joins without taking the Cartesian product.
And one can express inner joins without mentioning Cartesian products.
your expectation that HTML be rendered the same in different browsers is only born out of your ignorance of the what HTML wants to be: no one ever designed it in order to render in the same way everywhere, and in fact, it is designed with great care in order to allow it to be rendered differently.
I said rendered properly, not identically. I don't care if MathML in Internet Explorer looks the same as MathML in Firefox, as long as it looks like math. But can I be be sure that my users can download/install the MathExplorer plugin for IE?
I have a better chance that LaTeX source code will compile properly in a Windows version of LaTeX than I have of HTML render properly across browsers, if the reports of people massaging HTML to work in Internet Explorer are correct.
HTML is easier for computers to parse than LaTeX is.
Take two "tables" of ordered pairs: {(2, 5), (8, 7), (3, 1)} and {(5 , 9), (4, 3), (7, 5)}. If we do an inner join between the two tables, looking for where the second coordinate of data from the first table matches the first coordinate of data from the second table and then return the first coordinate of data from the first table with the second coordinate of data from the second table, we get {(2,9), (8, 5)}. Inner joins are more like composition of relations.
Really? How long is it taking the W3C to release HTML 5?
It may be powerful at layout (but not as powerful as something like InDesign or Quark) but what I'm talking about it something that encompasses page layout, web design, and semantic markup.
Slashdot Mirror
Did it have an introduction that is still under copyright?
Cool
Then why doesn't the article have any "Aaarrgh"s in it?
But I think a real number might be more effective.
No, I think that fining her 900,000,000+1,234,567,890i dollars would be more effective

Without MathML, the only way to have formulas is to treat them as images. As for SVG, firefox supports a good deal of it.

Come on people, most of Google's and Amazon's could are run by Linux / BSD with costume modifications to adapt to the task at hand.
So Beastie is going to dress as a penguin?

I believe that was his point, that SQL supports (or could support) such functions. He was responding to the post two up from his.
But it's not merely differences in rendering; there is no guarantee that a browser will meet the specification at all.
The internet as we know it was created at CERN to facilitate the sharing of scientific information.
It would appear that they did not believe that the sharing of scientific information required mathematical notation.
ODF and HTML do not support the full set of typographic features that LaTeX does.
Use MathML instead of HTML, though you might not have good browser support.
I prefer pstricks. The plots look nicer than what I've seen from gnuplot. And the only way I know to plot functions in SVG is to use polybeziers.
Because HTML continues to evolve LaTex does not.

LaTeX is working on semantic markup

As for web design, people are working on converting LaTeX to MathML.
it's also to be able to use that file to create decent web pages without any modification, that works with content management systems and the like.
And how do you presume to get all the browser vendors on board?
These different browsers render HTMLdifferently.
But it's still useful on device not running Windows.
But compare the difference between Windows 95 and Windows 7with the difference between a 1995 Linux distro and a current distro.
I seem to remember my copy of Windows 95 having a web browser, at least on CD.
Yes, RPM/DEB are nice, but how do I disable the execute bit on a JPEG file in Windows?
The route problem is that you have poor programmers at microsoft, and poor IT maintaining system.
What? They can write something as basic as route?
How did you enter the Euro symbol? When I look at the source, it has â, which is a with a circumflex accent.
vi requires modifier keys?
Is there a way to configure a web server to redirect all such requests to the home page, while permitting such clicks from the home page?
