Candidates wrapped up campaigning today in Mexico's presidential election. According to the AP, there is quite a bit at stake:
"The election will determine whether Mexico joins Latin America's rising tide of charismatic leftist leaders or continues on a path of fiscal conservatism..."
Is this sentence actually implying that there is a conceptual dichotomy between "charismatic leftist leaders" and "fiscal conservatism?" If so, wouldn't the second concept be better described as "odious fiscal conservatism" or "gag-inducing fiscal conservatism?" |

Government Computer News has a skeptical commentary on AJAX. I assume that the following quote is sarcastic:
"And it has the best of both worlds: the bloated, cranky code of client-server, with all of the stability, performance, and security of the Web. I can see what the attraction is."

I must admit, as much as I like the Google apps and the MSDN dynamic tree, the idea of AJAX becoming a preferred programming pattern is scary. In its current state, any AJAX programming is inherently messy due to the intentional limitations of HTML, XML and Javascript. There are a few nice libraries out there that make coding easier, but I'm still not sold on the stability / cost-benefit of this stuff. I think it's great that developers are pushing the envelope and finding interesting new ways to enhance the user experience, but the golden goose is a long way off... |

Well this is not .NET but thought maybe someone here might have a clue on this. I'm at a loss- support hasn't been able to help. The question is here

works fine on linux. This is obviously Windows x64, on 64 bit chip.
Thanks for all you help.
