Nat Demos Dashboard

pheared writes "Nat Friedman from Ximian gave a fairly in depth, quite hilarious (got embarrassing screensaver?), and somewhat impromptu, talk about his project "Dashboard" at OLS. From his blog: "The dashboard is a piece of software which performs a continous, automatic search of your personal information space to show you things in your life that are related to whatever you happen to be doing with your computer at the time." Neat stuff, but I don't think I will be warming up to Mono and C# any time soon."

    is that a old-world mac?
    If it is, you may need to boot to MacOS first and use BootX.
    Otherwise your 300mhz machine runs at about 10mhz and you can literally see the screen redraw each line.

    I have been pissed off by them as well. I subimitted a story about how you can take ANYTHING and drop it into a machine and it returns to you: oil, water, and the minerals that make it up. Isn't that interesting? Apparantly NOT.

    Nope. Reflex bashing of Microsoft is always appropriate and welcome on /.

  15. Mono and Microsoft's patents by theolein · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    While I personally couldn't give a stuff if something is implemented in C#, C++, C, Java or Brainfuck, if I was an OSS developer I would at least have used some of my grey cells to think about what the real meaning of the SCO FUD and Bill Gate's yakking on about Microsoft patents being in OSS. If Mono ever get's to the point that it or applications built with it threaten any part of Microsoft's server or client market you can be sure that MS will start, at the very least, a FUD campaign warning of MS patent's being used in those applications, thereby torpedoing the market by frightening PHB's into submission.
