"For interoperability, later versions of XML (i.e. XML 1.1 or Fifth Edition or later XML 1.0) must not be used"—@al3xbrown

If the economy is not scary enough for you, they are showing the director's cut of "Alien" at the Clay theater at midnight tonight.—@robc2

@evlist You and me both. Can't skim vid like text and I'm reluctant to yield several minutes of my undivided attention to random vids.—@ndw
