That's a bit unfair - Chrome and Firefox do the best they can with the source material. But the HTML / Jabascript "solution" is well past it's sell by date, methinks.

Indeed. I just can't bring up any enthusiasm for overrated things that fell short of their goal before having even reached the dumb masses. With luck we only have to endure a few more years of this before they all will start to look for the next one and only way that's sooooo easy and new and makes everything right.
The only problem is that they are persuing an untamed ornithoid without cause[^] and never learn that 'soooo easy' always has a price.

The thing is, say for HTML, it's essentially a subset of XML. Is it XML, too, you think is past its freshness date?
If not - what do you really see in the HTML?
- Pre-compile it a bit to shrink it (not really a change)?
- Create yet another extensible markup language*
- Another language altogether - modeled as C-like or what?
- Rely totally on emoticons
Hmmm?

Technically, they're both subsets of SGML[^]. It's quite possible to have perfectly valid HTML that doesn't even come close to being valid XML.
XHTML[^] was a subset of XML, but we all know how well that worked out. 
That's why you can't use an XML parser to read HTML. You need tools that were designed for HTML, like AngleSharp[^] or the Html Agility Pack[^].

I have been tinkering for the last week trying to swap out the spinning disk in my laptop with a new SSD. After a couple of failed attempts at cloning with Acronis True Image, I got some great advice from members here in the lounge. Following that advice, I tried again, this time moving the new drive to the 0 main bay before cloning, and removing the spinner afterward. This time, something different happened...just a few seconds after powering on it just powered off...no beeps, just off. 
OK, maybe I've just got a bad SSD...good thing I bought 2! So I start all over and clone to the second new drive. After an hour, give it a go and...same thing...it just powers off with no indication that there is a problem.  I decide to get out a Win7 installation disk and see if I can launch a repair utility or something...Well, that's strange, I can't boot to the DVD...some kind of error that the software image couldn't be verified...hmmm, here's a hint!
I go back to the bios again and find a setting named 'Secure Boot'. Turn this off and the machine boots up no problems! (and much, much faster!!!) I'm still not sure why the Secure Boot function was triggered if the drive was cloned...unless it looks at the original disk size???

its interesting to read on the net what some of the features of Secure Boot are, but yes, you can live without it
well done

I'm always searching for authors who explain things clearly.
When I'm trying to learn something I try to find angles on subjects from various sources.
I've often tried to really understand Big O notation and have never seen it really clearly explained until now in this book:
Amazon.com: Essential Algorithms: A Practical Approach to Computer Algorithms eBook: Rod Stephens[^]
He explains each format of Big O such as O(N^2) by displaying a very small algorithm in code which would result in the notation's form. It's really fantastic. Totally makes Big O notation useful in respect to classifying an algorithm.
Haven't gotten through much of the book but it's great so far. Very good read.
Anyone else read this book?

I will check it out, thanks. I had trouble with the same subject.
The difficult we do right away...

WORKS LIKE AN ANT
There is a meter long rope tight between two poles.
An ant starts running at the speed of 1 cm/s from one end of the rope to the other. At same time the poles are moving back a 1/2 m/s each, stretching the rope (the rope is magical and can be stretched infinitely).
Will the ant ever arrive?
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

The poles are moving away from each other at 500 cm/s?
|
|
|
|

Yes (that what I meant by 'back')...

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?

50cm I take it, though for some reason I think he meant .5cm/s.

1/2 m = 50 cm...
And I meant that and not 0.5 cm...

That's why I said 'I think' and not 'I correctly think'.
