    I really find it bizarre that a "baktun" is 144,000 days, the same # as the # of people that Jehovah Witnesses say will go to heaven. :~ Marc

                    HTML was designed to display documents on the web, and has been added to many times to try to make it work. However, it would be much better to be replaced with a new concept, more like SilverLight or WPF. More to the point, I resent that XML does not allow commented code in the middle, or to contain other comments. That really sucks. Then Javascript was not designed to play well withing XML (should not allow characters in a language that is suppose to be embedded in HTML that are not compatible with HTML). Have you ever heard of the book, JavaScript: The Good Parts, must be some bad parts, right. Would have been better to have a language that, if it looks like C, it should play like C, not something different.

                      No, I'm still sitting at my desk. Anyway, no matter who's fault it may be, HTML fails miserably at being a generic layouting language. No matter which ones are right and which ones are wrong, browsers fail miserably at being generic client programs. And the idea to embed client side logic in the HTML and them use one of the ugliest improvised interpreted languages that ever existed to implement that logic is the worst possible choice. Whenever I can I just throw all three out the window. A client application with a webservice usually gets the job done better, faster and with far less limitations than webpages.

                      At least artificial intelligence already is superior to natural stupidity

                                        I would very easily beleive that that is worse. I thought APL was both a horror and great. Probably just as well it is dead.

                                        APL is not dead and it's not really a horror any more, either (like all languages it's evolved through time), unless you're allergic to brevity and elegance.
