  1. Re:JAXB on XML Co-Creator says XML Is Too Hard For Programmers · · Score: 1

    > now you have to learn XML Schema

    There are other data binding tools that don't require a schema. There's one we looked at from Strathclyde University in the UK that binds to XML and generates objects based on the programmers classes. here

    There's a host of languages you can use to pull subsets of XML data out. Everything from XPath expressions with XSLT to building DOM trees or SAX parsers to manipulate the data with your favorite programming language. That's as powerful as you can get.

    large-scale use are yet to come.

    Reuters produces all their news in XML format. There's a contant stream that comes in at a few MB an hour. That's a massice scale use if you ask me.

  6. Re:Difference between DTDs and XML schemas? on XML Schema a W3C Recommendation · · Score: 2

    I think he meant that XML, XMLSchema and XSL are all XML format so you can use a single XML parser with them. DTD and CSS files are not XML.

  7. Not suprising on XML Schema a W3C Recommendation · · Score: 2

    This doesn't come as a great suprise. In the release, Tim Berners Lee is the W3C director that gets quoted saying how great XML schema is. Since his new fangled Semantic Web relies on the mainstream acceptance of XML schema what else is he going to say?

  8. Re:Difference between DTDs and XML schemas? on XML Schema a W3C Recommendation · · Score: 2
    I could be wrong this declares DTD's to be part of XML now.

    A DTD defines what is allowable in an XML document. XML schema is just a different way to do this. DTD's have always been available to describe XML documents.

    An XML document is well-formed if it adheres to the XML syntax specification; it is valid if it adheres to a DTD. XML documents do not have to be valid - i.e. do not required to have a DTD.

    This reminds me of a TV series we have in the UK called Trigger Happy TV. It's a sort of Candid Camera type show. There's an on running sketch where a guy screams into his huge mobile phone at inappropriate times.

    On a similar line, I've been thinking about putting some cameras and audio deterents around the house. Most X10 systems are based in the US but they have ditributors in the UK. Check out: home control and laser.

    I think a barking dog / police siren would do the trick. Or maybe the sound of a phone dialing and a computer voice saying "Intruder alert! The police have been called and are on their way..."

    It's interesting to ponder how much of the errors are accidental. After all, company A producing censorware could have politcal reasons to reduce access to company B's web site. So just add B to the list of blocked sites.

    I wonder who else might influence the lists.

  15. Accuracy of blocks on Slashback: Smallness, Blackouts, South Australia · · Score: 2

    We've got a filter on sites "unsuitable for University access" and it is lame. For example any URL with the word "sluth" gets blocked because it contains "slut". The BESS software has been shown to be just as bad.

  18. Re:XML is just a descriptive markup on Inside XML · · Score: 1

    No, it is a mark up language because you mark up your data using XML. The DTD or schema describes a template by setting rules about the order of tags and the types that they are allowed to contain. The specification does allow a standalone XML document without a DTD or schema.

    That coupled with all the rumours suggesting that Sega are going to duck out of the console market and push on a games dev only basis adds a bit more believability to this story. IMO Sega are too far behind in the console race - the last time they were ahead was the Megadrive. It all went downhill from there.

    Having said that, I don't believe this story either ;^)

    Surely a filter mechanism (c.f. email) would be better than a list of people you're willing to recieve from. It'd be a pain in the arse to get your message blocked because your mate hasn't added you to .addressbook.accept.

    This flooding of messages is just like DDOS: it's impossible to tell a real request from a fake one all you can do is look for validation of headers and block heavy loads from multiple requests.
