Mono and dotGnu: What's the Point?

joeykiller writes "The Register features an opinion by Neil Davidson, asking 'Mono and dotGnu: What's the point?' Some of the points he raises may seem irrelevant for open source supporters (like why make a C# compiler while Microsoft's is free anyway), but others are thought provoking and maybe a little bit controversial. You may not agree with his opinions, but it's an interesting read anyway."

      I see that shills from Microsoft are moderating Slashdot again. The above post is actually right on topic (but expects a bit much in the inference department).

    Doom 3 on 4/15/04

    Duke Nukem Forever on 11/24/04

    Now, I know pre-order dates don't mean much of anything, since a certain other game was pushed back another month just days before the release, but at two months, we should have Doom 3 by the end of the year...

    3DRealms has this to say about release date for Duke 3D:

    "No, you cannot pre-order the game. If you see some online store saying "We are taking pre-orders", they're just trying to get your money (they usually also make up their own supposed "insider release date info", too). There is no release date set, we are not taking pre-orders for the game. End of story.

    Once we begin taking pre-orders, believe us, you'll know about it. :)

    The release date of this game is "When it's done". Anything else, and we mean anything else is someone's speculation. There is no date. We don't know any date. If you have a friend who claims they have "inside info", or there's some game news site, or some computer store at the mall who claims they know - they do not. They are making it up. There is no date. Period."
