Mono Beta 2 Released
A little birdy writes "Less than a month after Beta 1 was released,
Mono Beta 2 has been released. See the Release Notes, or go directly to the download page. It includes a C# compiler, an implementation of the Common Language Infrastructure and two stacks of APIs: a Unix, Linux, GNOME, Mono stack for APIs that takes the most advantage of your Unix server and desktop and a set of APIs compatible with the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 that provides support for ASP.NET (web services and web forms), ADO.NET and many other components." And in a related story: darthcamaro writes "The drive to develop a FOSS implementation of Microsoft's .NET framework by DotGNU and Novell's Mono project is being painted as a contest between the Free and Open Source communities in an article on internetnews.com. The article details the running argument between DotGNU's Norbert Bollow and Mono's Miguel de Icaza on the issues of commercial involvement, software patents and all the 'religious' stuff that the Free software community holds against the open source community."
Oh I apologize, you've taken that word to mean YOUR connotation of it's definition. Sadly, my connotation is a noun; used to describe a group of individuals. I don't normally use it in this forum, as I expect responses as such. However, I simply don't care. Don't like it, don't use the word. Don't bother me about it's usage however, especially since it was used by a majority of people to demean a people and culture which I happen to be apart of. If anyone is going to determine it's usage and context when it's used; it'll be me. Good day.
OT: an interesting discussion indeed at your sig: What an eye opening dialogue
Seriously, good job: you dropped the bomb and the replies just proved your point. I hope the situation described ultimately worked out in your favor.
