.Net On Android Is Safe, Says Microsoft

An anonymous reader writes "With Oracle suing Google over 'unofficial' support for Java in Android, Microsoft has come out and said it has no intention of taking action against the Mono implementation of C# on the Linux-based mobile OS. That's good news for Novell, which is in the final stages of preparing MonoDroid for release. Miguel de Icaza is not concerned about legal challenges by Microsoft over .Net implementations, and even recommends that Google switch from using Java. However, Microsoft's Community Promise has been criticized by the Free Software Foundation for not going far enough to protect open source implementations from patent litigation, which is at the heart of the Oracle-Google case."

  1. Lifting the Lid on the Guilty Yid by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    The liberals got it exactly right. For years now they’ve been telling us how “vibrant” mass immigration has made stale, pale White societies. Well, London was certainly vibrating on 7th July and that got me thinking: What else have the liberals got right? Mass immigration “enriches” us too, they’ve always said. Is that “enrich” as in “enriched uranium”, an excellent way of making atom bombs? Because that’s what comes next: a weapon of real mass destruction that won’t kill people in piffling dozens but in hundreds of thousands or millions. Bye-bye London, bye-bye Washington, bye-bye Tel Aviv.

    I’m not too sure I’d shed a tear if the last-named went up in a shower of radioactive cinders, but Tel Aviv is actually the least likely of the three to be hit. What’s good for you ain’t good for Jews, and though Jews have striven mightily, and mighty successfully, to turn White nations into multi-racial fever-swamps, mass immigration has passed the Muzzerland safely by. And mass immigration is the key to what happened in London. You don’t need a sophisticated socio-political analysis taking in Iraq, Afghanistan, Bosnia, Jewish control of Anglo-American foreign policy, British colonialism, and fifteen centuries of Christian-Muslim conflict. You can explain the London bombs in five simple words:

    Pakis do not belong here.

    And you can sum up how to prevent further London bombs – and worse – in three simple words:

    PAKI GO HOME.

    At any time before the 1950s, brown-skinned Muslim terrorists would have found it nearly impossible to plan and commit atrocities on British soil, because they would have stood out like sore thumbs in Britain’s overwhelmingly White cities. Today, thanks to decades of mass immigration, it’s often Whites who stand out like sore thumbs. Our cities swarm with non-whites full of anti-White grievances and hatreds created by Judeo-liberal propaganda. And let’s forget the hot air about how potential terrorists and terrorist sympathizers are a “tiny minority” of Britain’s vibrant, peace-loving Muslim “community”.

    Even if that’s true, a tiny minority of 1.6 million (2001 estimate) is a hell of a lot of people, and there’s very good reason to believe it isn’t true. Tony Blair has tried to buy off Britain’s corrupt and greedy “moderate” Muslims with knighthoods and public flattery, but his rhetoric about the “religion of peace” wore thin long ago. After the bombings he vowed, with his trademark bad actor’s pauses, that we will... not rest until... the guilty men are identified... and as far... as is humanly possible... brought to justice for this... this murderous carnage... of the innocent.

    His slimy lawyer’s get-out clause – “as far as is humanly possible” – was soon needed. Unlike Blair and his pal Dubya in Iraq and Afghanistan, the bombers were prepared not only to kill the innocent but to die themselves as they did so. And to laugh at the prospect: they were captured on CCTV sharing a joke about the limbs and heads that would shortly be flying. Even someone as dim as Blair must know you’ve got a big problem on your hands when there are over 1.6 million people in your country following a religion like that.

    If he doesn’t know, there are plenty of Jewish journalists who will point it out for him. There’s the neo-conservative Melanie Phillips in Britain, for example, who never met an indignant adverb she didn’t like, and the neo-conservative Mark Steyn in Canada, who never met an indignant Arab he didn’t kick. Reading their hard-hitting columns on Muslim psychosis, I was reminded of a famous scene in Charles Dickens’ notoriously anti-Semitic novel Oliver Twist (1839). The hero watches the training of the villainous old Jew Fagin put into action by the Artful Dodger:

  2. Beck-Gingrich 2012 ( +2, PatRIOTic ) by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Although I generally believe that the less said about Beck-Gingrich, the better, I do feel obligated to say a few things about Beck-Gingrich's unreasonable equivocations. In the text that follows, I don't intend to recount all of the damage caused by Beck-Gingrich's sinful, contemptible catch-phrases but I do want to point out that it is hardly surprising that Beck-Gingrich wants to attack the fabric of this nation. After all, this is the same egocentric coward whose officious prattle informed us that mediocrity is a worthwhile goal. I have not forgotten that he can't relate to anyone other than unsophisticated marauders. I have not forgotten that his belief systems are so irascible, so featherbrained, so postmodernist that there are really no earth words to describe exactly how I feel about them. And I cannot forget that my goal is to contribute to the intellectual and spiritual health of the body politic. I will not stint in my labor in this direction. When I have succeeded, the whole world will know that I find that some of Beck-Gingrich's choices of words in his witticisms would not have been mine. For example, I would have substituted "nerdy" for "philosophicojuristic" and "barbaric" for "saccharomucilaginous."

    I must emphasize that Beck-Gingrich frequently plays on our emotions. An obvious parallel from a different context is that I'll tell you what we need to do about all the craziness he is mongering. We need to deal summarily with closed-minded, testy clods. We should agree on definitions before saying anything further about his ill-tempered fulminations. For starters, let's say that "resistentialism" is "that which makes Beck-Gingrich yearn to preach fear and ignorance."

    We must balkanize Beck-Gingrich's deranged terrorist organization into an etiolated and sapless agglomeration. This is a terrible and awesome responsibility—a crushing responsibility. However, if we stick together we can can show the world that if Beck-Gingrich were as bright as he thinks he is, he'd know that it's his belief that my letters demonstrate a desire to make nearby communities victims of environmental degradation and toxic waste dumping. I can't understand how anyone could go from anything I ever wrote to such an impertinent idea. In fact, my letters generally make the diametrically opposite claim, that Beck-Gingrich insists that he has no choice but to break down our communities. His reasoning is that a plausible excuse is a satisfactory substitute for performance. Yes, I realize that that argument makes no sense, but I realize that the tone of this letter may be making some people feel uneasy. However, even if you're somewhat uncomfortable reading about Beck-Gingrich's untoward disquisitions please don't blame me for them. I'm not the one depriving individuals of the right to preserve the peace. I'm not the one draining our hope and enthusiasm. And I'm not the one deluding and often robbing those rendered vulnerable and susceptible to his snares because of poverty, illness, or ignorance.

    Something recently occurred to me that might occur to Beck-Gingrich, as well, if he would just turn down the volume of his voice for a moment: If history follows its course, it should be evident that the gloss that Beck-Gingrich's buddies put on Beck-Gingrich's false-flag operations unfortunately does little to get my message about Beck-Gingrich out to the world. I wish I didn't have to be the one to break the news that our attempts to present another paradigm in opposition to his short-sighted ravings have so far served only as a divertissement for him and his deputies, who are legion. Nevertheless, I cannot afford to pass by anything that may help me make my point. So let me just state that trying to fill our children's minds with spleeny and debasing superstitions is just as overweening as trying to give lunatics control of the asylum. Sadly, lack of space prevents me from elaborating further.

    I've repeatedly pointed out to Beck-Gingrich that he should have been removed from the gene pool before he had a chance

    It is always nice to be reminded that there is at least one regard (immigration) in which European conservatives are actually worse than our own American conservatives.
