    I know what you mean -- ELF just doesn't hold a candle to Perl.

    "Worse, call the layers"

    Which layer? does Mono have a self-destruct layer?

    using System.Microsoft.Infringement;

    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
          If (Patents.Count > 0)
          {
                ForEach(Match match in Patents
                {
                      Console.WriteLine(match.patentname + ": " + match.patentcode);
                }
          }
    }

    Error Buffer Overflow

    Yeah, yeah... you meant "lawyers" I know... and I dont code in C# so it might not do anything anyways...but... "call the layers" made me laugh...

    Particularly one that's practically indistinguishable from Java

    Knock knock.

    Who's there?

    ...long pause...

    Java.

    The only reason, ONLY reason, to use Java is because you are psychotic and have a deep, long standing hate for your users and wish to inflict some of the most insidious pain and torment upon them.

    Because GTK# is not a language? And because it's not tipped over?

    Well, I do hate my users and wish to inflict pain on them, but I don't want to use Java.

    Is there a way I can inflict pain and torment in a platform agnostic way? ;-)
