Miguel Plans Silverlight on Mono & Linux by Years End
El Lobo writes "The Mono open-source project will create a Linux version of Silverlight by the end of year, said Miguel de Icaza, a Novell vice president and head of Mono. Asked about plans for Linux, Microsoft executives have been non-committal, saying that it will depend on demand. But de Icaza, who is attending Mix, was able to commit without hesitating."
Go fuck yourself you little shit.
Go back to sucking Gates' cock and stop trying to fuck Linux up with your garbage.
Care to tell me why we need something that's a copy of something else that already runs on linux, to run on linux.
There is a war going on for your mind.
coUmmitterbase and Way. It used to be Juliet Are together whether to repeat Intentions and the mundane chores contributed code little-known
Just because garbage doesn't run on Linux isn't a reason to copy it just so it will. Seriously dude, stop shoving crap onto Linux and put your efforts to a good use. People who want to use a mac or windows DO use a mac or windows.
Linux is, and should be, so much more than a poor man's clone of either of these systems. The people who use Linux do so because they like it, not because it's free. If it were just about price any of us could have a "free" copy of windows too.
So please, please, please (we're all begging you!!!) do something constructive with your time, energy, and inexplicable influence. Or at least stop trying to destroy what we've got.
PS We all hate gnome, too. If we wanted the worst of mac combined with the worst of windows we'd just run vista!
The Farewell Tour II
The legal system says it is illegal to install an operating system in the privacy of your home because Microsoft has registered themselves as the rightful extortionists for some of the things that your operating system does.
The fact that it has such laws is what makes it corrupt.
The fact that it has such laws is what makes this extortion possible.
It is entirely ok to install whatever you want on your computer. You are causing no harm. The police should not be bothering you.
As for their dependence on the windows codebase, it is not for you or anyone else to step up and say "Sorry, you made you're choice, you're fucked now, your efforts to get out from under are not permitted."
Just because the legal system says it will assist you in extorting money from people doesn't mean you're entitled to it. It just means you've successfully utilized the legal system to screw the rest of us over.
-1 Uncomfortable Truth
> Any respect I had for you as a software developer is gone. Good luck though, sounds like you will need it. And good luck to you too! Good luck on all the goals you'll never bother to accomplish. Good luck on all your inevitably unfulfilled dreams. Good luck on all the systems you'll never build, that nobody will ever use. Good luck on all the important jobs that nobody will ever notice you didn't finish. Good luck on living at home until you're 40, reading comic books, masturbating and trolling successful people on Slashdot. Someone like Miguel shouldn't even bother to speak to a worm like you. It's a credit to his good nature that he would. Even if we all lost respect for him tomorrow, that would mean that at least we once had it.

Just a warning.. writing stuff like this reveals a lot about yourself!
