Miguel de Icaza Explains How To "Get" Mono

LeninZhiv writes "It's perhaps the most controversial project in the open source world, but this mostly stems from misunderstanding: Mono, the open source development platform based upon Microsoft's .NET framework. Immediate reactions from many dubious Linux developers have ranged from confusion over its connection with .NET to wondering what the benefits of developing under it are. Throughout the course of its four years of intense development, sponsored by Novell, Mono founder Miguel de Icaza has had to frequently clarify the .NET issue and sell the community on it. In this new interview, Howard Wen asks Miguel to explain himself one more time."

    The full definition from dictionary.com is:

    1. Fraught with uncertainty or doubt; undecided.
    2. Arousing doubt; doubtful: a dubious distinction.
    3. Of questionable character: dubious profits.

    Calling someone dubious can be offensive. I personally would prefer to call someone undecided or sceptical if that is what is meant.

    I was having sex with a drunk girl once, yea like I'd have a chance any other way, and yes once, but she ended up passing out right in the middle of it all. I was wondering what should I do? Should I keep going? It was my only real chance. I had this little devil on one shoulder saying, "Keep going, keep going." but then on the other side there was this little angle that said "Stick it in her butt."

    Here's a fun fact: If a woman is drunk when she agrees to have sex with you, and later on realizes that it was probably a bad idea, she can press rape charges against you.

    She was not in a clear enough state of mine to make decisions like that.
