Das eez kaput! Sometime around 2002 I spaced the entire database table that mapped individual entries to categories. Such is life. What follows is a random sampling of entries that were associated with the category. Over time, the entries will be updated and then it will be even more confusing. Wander around, though, it's still a fun way to find stuff.
There's actually some good, even if ironic, news about data typing support in XSLT 2.0: if you're still using DTDs, and you're putting off a move to any schema format, you can use XSLT 2.0 stylesheets to add datatype checking to your system, further postponing a move to schemas.
It's handy that the "database" is a self-contained package that can be updated using any text editor, emailed, read directly from a file system, or served by any web server. But it's awkward to share the work of updating with other people or to isolate and edit parts of the file as it grows. When we convert to a database-backed web application in order to solve these problems, we trade away the convenience of the file-oriented approach. Can we have our cake and eat it too?
cinnamon sticky bunflavoured coffee out of the boardroom and in to gas stations. (Look, it's not like I have any illusions about gas station coffee but some things are just wrong.) But comparing any flavour of the RSS format to the

see also : The Current on "embedded Canadians" which is mostly just the same old sickly sweetness but worth it just to hear David I've applied for U.S. citizenship Frum wax poetic about Canada being his point of reference. As usual, I don't think there was any mention made of the oft-neglected classic Canadians among us but I had to stop listening about 5 seconds into the second "George W's West Wing" schtick.So tomorrow morning, a horde of Quebeckers will be enjoying something uniquely Quebecois, redeveloped, industrialized and popularised by a Southern donut chain. How distinctly Canadian -- or, at least as Canadian as the products of that other chain, owned by Americans, named after an American who played hockey for an American hockey team.
This module attempts to simplify the task of converting one database create syntax to another through the use of Parsers (which understand the source format) and Producers (which understand the destination format).
Maybe we've all been barking up the wrong tree with RSS and all the other syndication formats. Maybe we should just be storing everything as email messages...This module implements something relatively close to Jamie Zawinski's mail threading algorithm, as described by http://www.jwz.org/doc/threading.html. Any deviations from the algorithm are accidental.
Some are private photographs, images of family life. Others are public photographs. Of course, as Roland Barthes (1981) observed in Camera Lucida, even with public photographs we tend to provide a private reading: "Does that train still run through our town?" "How old was I when that happened?" We link images to our own existence.
never imagined what would happenby leaving the pieces in the subway. Well, duh. What the hell else was the point, you ninny? To take some clever Gap-ad photos to show your class-mates? Anyway, shouldn't the word "straphangers" [sic] be hyphenated?
Me, on the notion that one's opinion is somehow value-added by one's consumer purchases.Those people deserve no truck. They should be argued with, bickered and brow-beat in to submission. As well-meaning as those people may be they are simply wrong. It is a rationale that is so myopic and of such staggering laziness and dim-witted selfishness that I doubt any one with half a sense about them could reasonably defend it when given even a lick of scrutiny.
see also : EmacsAs my primary working environment is Emacs 21, I decided to write an Emacs-Lisp package for accessing this dictionary server. The older webster.el didn't work with the newer protocol. After starting the implementation I was pointed to an already existing implementation, but this was basically a wrapper to the dict client program and didn't have all the features I wanted and have now been implemented in this dictionary client.
Close to one year after the war against terror was officially flagged off in the ruins of Afghanistan, in country after country freedoms are being curtailed in the name of protecting freedom, civil liberties are being suspended in the name of protecting democracy. All kinds of dissent is being defined as "terrorism". Donald Rumsfeld said that his mission in the war against terror was to persuade the world that Americans must be allowed to continue their way of life. When the maddened king stamps his foot, slaves tremble in their quarters. So, it's hard for me to say this, but the American way of life is simply not sustainable. Because it doesn't acknowledge that there is a world beyond America.

Meanwhile, did you ever think you'd live to see a member of the CRAP party say : "[ The House is] exactly the sort of programming the publicly funded broadcaster should be doing." ?For 18 months I lived on Martha's Vineyard and pined for the CBC, every day feeling grateful for the advent of Internet radio.
Eventually, I moved back to Montreal and life was good. I remember hearing the announcement that Dick Gordon was leaving the CBC to assume hosting duties at The Connection and thinking it was "our" loss.
[Even] before his departure, Sheilagh Rogers had taken over the flagship morning show, on Radio One. Long story short, I simply can't stand to listen to her. My only solace has been to write increasingly venomous letters whenever she and the production staff fall prey to a pique of especially sugary and empathetic nonsense. Not a happy situation any way you look at it.
But over Thanksgiving, driving down to the Island, we were stuck in traffic on Storrow Drive and I was fiddling with the radio dial and I heard Dick Gordon interviewing Alastair McCloud.
And once again, every day I am grateful for the advent of Internet radio.
You guys rock. You have no idea how happy it makes me to find an intelligent radio program, broadcast daily, with a serious host and interesting guests.
And for someone who moved back to Montreal partly because it is, seemingly, the only place to find a decent baguette on the whole continent [an entire] hour devoted to bread is like manna from heaven.
