Invited? They're demanding a $699 fee from every attendee under the claim that they own the Expo because it has the word "Linux" in the title.

Re:Mono is cool.

We talked with two Mono guys who showed us MonoDevelop running, and a program which is able to load the Gecko module and create a functional browser in under 35-40 lines of code.

Which is, I think, a silly claim to make. I mean, I can "load the gecko module and create a functional browser in just ONE line of code!"

$ mozilla &

Wow! Wasn't that F@!#ing KEWL!?!?

I guess the real question is... SO? What are you going to do with this?

I can just see it now...

yambb - Yet Another Mozilla Based Browser

yambb2 - Yet Another Mozilla Based Browser... 2

yapteamb - Yet Another Project That Embeds A
Mozilla Browser...

Is there anybody who has USED this kewl feature (tm) to make a decent product or project I might be even remotely interested in?

Interesting

That is interesting that you have mentioned booths. Every time I visit a computer expo, I have a strong urge to switch from Linux to BSD. It is a very strange feeling which I absolutely cannot explain. I never have this feeling in my basement, though, so when I'm back in front of my computer, I usually forget about it and keep using Debian, but during every expo that urge comes back and keeps getting stronger and stronger. It is nearly irresistible, yet completely subconscious, beyond any reason and understanding. It would almost be mystical, if only my thoughts were pure and innocent... Could someone please explain it to me? Could that be Satan's temptations? With all of those daemons around, I'm not sure...
