Kewl. Thanks.
It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Trust my rage
Thanks, Tom. Problem solved.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I don't know if anyone will know this but... I'm working with xml and xsl, using JavaScript. I have a param in the xsl called "parSelected", and I've proven that I can pass values to it from JavaScript. Now I want to have something in the xsl that compared the value of the param to something in the xml. Something like this:
<xsl:when test="@n = " + <xsl:value-of select="$parSelected" />>
But not the same as that, as that doesn't work. Apparantly is is not valid xsl.
I also don't know if the '+' is correct to concatenate....

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
You have to use the concat() function.

Thanks, Tom.
But on further research on the internets, it seems I can't construct the test string on-the-fly, so some other solution not involving concatenation of this type may be required.
Going home now....
eta: I am an idiot. At first I thought it would be something simple like:
<xsl:when test="@n = $parSelected">
but that didn't work. Turns out I was passing the wrong variable into $parSelected. I wasted three hours yesterday because of this. OTOH, it's nice how a night's sleep can improve one's perspective.

Court Nixes 'Broadcast Flag'
WASHINGTON -- In a blow to the entertainment industry, a federal appeals court on Friday found that federal regulators overstepped their authority by requiring consumer-electronics manufacturers to help restrict digital home recording.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia reversed a Federal Communications Commission order requiring that makers of consumer-electronics devices capable of receiving broadcast digital TV signals recognize a "broadcast flag," which is code that allows content owners to place limits on redistribution of digital content streams. The rule was to apply to devices manufactured on or after July 1, 2005.
How 'bout that?

Go team activist judges! Stick it to the man!

Damn those activist judges! Making laws instead of interpre.... Oh, wait.... It was the FCC that was making a law outside its authority, not the judges.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I guess the FCC's next move will be to cancel HDTV, just in case someone might attach a VCR to their set.
