Oh, I totally understand. Thanks CodeMage. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

XML is a widely-used data interchange format. It is well known and used. It's focus is the actual content.

The syntax of HSS/CSS focuses on attributes. Makes for a perfect use in this case.
From what I can tell, it does work ok with Cinnamon. You can also revert to a gnome2.x-style panel - full instructions here - http://askubuntu.com/q/58172/6005

Bulletproof Coffee (Coffee + Butter)
> HTML5 completion date has been announced as 2020

CSS2.1 became a W3C Recommendation on 7 June 2011. People have been using the HTML5 doctype for years now, never mind quite a few of the features. Arguing that the W3C is slow to standardise things is preaching to the choir, but CSS3 or HTML5 not being standards has had no impact on the ecosystem that's been using -moz-border-radius since Firefox 1.0. (that's 8 years ago. There are web designers that aren't twice that age out there).

Also, sorry to be that person, but isn't SASS/SCSS (edit: and calc()) "good enough"™. The problem with XML files not rendering nicely in the browser is not anywhere near as important to developers as XML not supporting a way of plugging in JavaScript as HTML does with <script>.

Edit: And lastly, what's wrong with XSL? It's got XPath, which as much as people love to dump on it, is not that bad. And you get HTML with all the bells and whistles as an output.
Plane Filling Curves
Sorry, bit of a knee jerk reaction there, clearly the eldritch horror that was Burrough's idea of an interactive user environment left me with some mental scars.

Ah, but I think that's the point. My understanding of the topics is anything but superficial. If you follow along with my daily posts, I think you can see me work through initial infatuation, recognition of limitations, and finally deeper understanding.

I don't believe PommeDeTerre is saying that semantic information needs to be mixed with presentation information. He or she is asking why you have two different syntaxes when all you're doing in both cases is representing a nested tree.

For example, you could have your data structure as:

(books (book (title "Little Schemer")))

And then define your presentation as:

(books (book (title (:color "ff6666"))))

I'm not saying that this is necessarily the best representation, but it's more consistent and simpler for a machine to parse than XML/HSS.

Yeah, but do you really feel like this W3C standardising process is really benefiting anybody? I know creating a standard involves a lot of work, but I don't like it.

SASS/SCSS has nothing to do with HSS. SASS compiles intro regular CSS. HSS is standalone and can only be run in AXR supporting environments.
Yah, that's actually where I got the original idea: http://japhr.blogspot.com/2009/03/my-chain.html (should have made that more clear). I'm never going to reach Seinfeld levels, but that's all right.
> I think the difference is that some of us need a little more structure. By providing a method and a repetitive activity, by the 21st day or so (3 weeks they say), it will become habit. After that point, making a point of solving problems for a particular purpose everyday will be much easier, and you'll be making more progress.

Yep, I agree. As long as you are able to find problems to solve. Personally, this doesn't work for me because I am not able to come up with problems unless the present themselves in something I'm working on. I can read 100 books on a subject, but if I can't apply the knowledge or imagine how I can apply it, it doesn't stick. Just different ways of learning, I guess.
What massive advantages are those? I mean there are obvious disadvantages in that you have to write two different parsers, and learn two separate syntaxes. What are the advantages?

I'm using 3 monitors in 12.04 under Unity without a hitch! Then again, I'm using 1 ATI video card (with 3 outputs) and the proprietary ATI driver.

Unity has great support for multiple-monitors. Many, if not most, of the problems are due to: X, the video card drivers and Xinerama.

Been using the Beta releases for a while now and I'm hooked, Unity has matured in to a really well thought out and compelling desktop environment.

My absolute favorite feature is hitting the alt key (from any app) and being about to navigate the menus and options e.g. in FireFox Alt > Type "Edit" and i see all the options available - Very Slick and means i can use the keyboard to effectively navigate all apps now, Previous versions of unity didn't really lend themselves to this.

I had this problem when watching movies from the disk, oddly enough. It kept shutting down the hard drive when it was reading from the memory buffer, then when the buffer ran out it needed to pause while the drive spun back up. I haven't tried the final to see if it's fixed.
Much thanks. I've definitely appreciated the encouragement along the way. But mostly it's cool to know that my posts have helped. Makes it that much more worthwhile :)
Very good point. But I'm afraid I don't have the time to go now into all the subtleties of the theological and philosophical definitions of created/uncreated, ontological dependence, being, person and so on. There's a rich literature on this.

As point, you have to make supplementary assumption as to what the existence of a being entails. And that follows from the definition for that thing. But when it comes to the created/uncreated distinction, I can not 'a priori' make any other assumption than the fact that God has the power to create things different from Himself. That's it.

Some find it, for instance, contradictory that a loving God allows suffering in the world. It's not my intention to go into that argument now because there's a lot to say, and has been said by many, about love, suffering, evil, freedom etc. At each point, and with each added concept, chances are that people will find contradiction just because they don't agree on the same definition.

Hence it's difficult sometimes to rule out the existence of an object on the basis of an apparent contradiction.

Client: The interwebs said it was the fastest hipster technology around it would be stupid not to use it. You just want to charge your extortionate rates analyzing the problem just to come to the same conclusion.

I'm not saying there isn't anything wrong with the medical profession, and the US seem to have fostered a special brand of messed up in there healthcare system but suggesting that the doctor should just agree with the patients own diagnosis, or worse the the patient should just self medicate, seems like a crazy thing to advocate.
I doubt that; it's not reasonable to be on IPv6 only. ISP-level NAT for IPv4 will probably exist for a long time.

But I hve to go do some work now. Good luck!
The notifications in the newer Ubuntu really do irritate me. In releases of old (if my memory is correct), notifications could be clicked to bring up the program that was notifying you. Now they just go semi-transparent and can't be clicked, so I have to open the program manually. Not a huge deal, but it could have a better UX by being interactive (I'd love to be able to reply to a chat message within the notification window, ala Digsby).

Frankly, this is an example of everything that's wrong with healthcare in the US and much of the developed world.

The textbook OSA patient is a middle-aged man with a short, thick neck. OP is a middle-aged man with a short, thick neck. I'll bet dollars to doughnuts that OP is also hypertensive. In such a presentation, there is a very simple initial prescription - lose weight, drink less alcohol, quit smoking, get some exercise, see me in six months. In nearly all cases these simple lifestyle changes cure the OSA, yield a huge array of other health benefits and cost nothing. CPAP is only indicated if either the patient still has symptoms after reducing their neck circumference, or is somehow unable to lose weight.

The only thing that went wrong in OP's case is that his primary physician yielded to demand for a quick fix, rather than making the correct prescribing decision. OP would rather sleep on a respirator than improve his lifestyle. I'm not blaming him, it's a cultural problem, but it's one that will kill us all and lumber us with an impossible burden of healthcare costs.

Consider this: The leading cause of limb loss in the developed world is type 2 diabetes. Mull that thought over for a moment, let it percolate. Most cases of type 2 diabetes are preventable through simple lifestyle changes. Most cases of dysvascular amputation can be prevented by better management of blood glucose levels. People are having their feet cut off because they are unable to appropriately manage their most basic physical needs. That thought is what disturbs my sleep.

Cain was roundly mocked for suggesting that. I think the better way of saying it (this is my opinion) would be "I'd support a length limit on the clauses in a bill". The problem with legalese in bills is, Congress has to specifically outline every use case of every law. If it's not clear in the law, a judge can overthrow it. What was that case the other week where the judge threw out part of a law saying "if Congress wanted this to be part of the law, they should have specifically stated that"? This is why bills have to be long.

I would personally support a Constitutional amendment putting an upper limit on the amount of attachments placed in any bill passed by Congress.

Laziness, flexibility and cost.

Lazy network admins assume that a private network protects them against poor planning and decision-making.

Private networks give you more flexibility to do whatever crazy thing you want to do. For larger enterprise, this may mean building their own private internet.

For smaller users in particular, NATing saves time and money. You don't have to wrangle with ISPs who want to bill by IP, or get an IP block assigned.

Ok, I've just tried my 12.04 / Unity laptop with my 22" monitor.

The thing is, I have my laptop on the left, and 22" on the right. So I want to set the Unity launcher to the right hand side of my main screen, the 22" display, so that it doesn't get in the way of scrolling to the laptop's screen.

Sounds simple right? Switching the launcher from left to right? Wrong. http://askubuntu.com/questions/123552/unity-launcher-on-righ...

In short, I'm advised to switch to a whole different desktop manager for that simple functionality. What a crock of shit.
