How often do those ID spaces overlap though? MS GUIDs are mostly used for COM, which would allow a Java-space UUID to have the same value without a collision, unless the Java app exposes itself as a COM object. But then, if it does that, it should use an MS GUID for that purpose, not a Java UUID.
Regardless, a GUID/UUID collision is so incredibly rare that, for all practical purposes, GUIDs/UUIDs can be treated as truly unique.
Wind farms can cause climate change, but then it's equally valid to say I can spontaneously vanish and reappear in Hawai'i. How probable these events are is another thing entirely.
Or maybe they're using the right tool for the job? LaTeX was specifically designed to automate typesetting, so authors can concentrate purely on the semantic content. Word was designed for non-tech users who want to make gaudy documents that liberally abuse WordArt.
Just had a look into NGEN - it still runs on top of the CLR, so still runs within the.NET VM. So I think we're back to my original challenge to write a full C#->native compiler:)
How many zeroes can you write (within reason)?
If asteroid mining is implemented properly, the potential returns could dwarf the US national debt.
Run improperly on the other hand, and we'll need a hotline to Bruce Willis (backing music from Aerosmith).
One of the big influences in Google's algorithm is (weighted) links to the page in question. If there are enough, it pushes the site up the rankings. This same 'bug', as you wrongly call it, will be present in Bing, or any search engine for that matter.
I'd have no problem if he was sentenced to, say, 100 hours of community service, but gaol time is excessive.
Yes, 'gaol' is correct this side of the Atlantic;)
Does it mention any other OSS licences? It'd seem a bit one-sided if it was only the GPL/.ers were worried about, given that the various BSD, MPL, MIT, Apache, etc. licences are fairly widely used.
I doubt it - MS still makes the majority of their profit on Windows and Office. Keeping devs tied to Windows keeps that lucrative stream going, regardless of whether those devs are writing OSS.

For that price, you may as well buy a cheap laptop. Bung something like edubuntu on, and bam - portable educational PC on a budget.
To expand on that last point, from Wikipedia's UUID article:
The probability of one duplicate would be about 50% if every person on earth owns 600 million UUIDs
Both MS and Java use version 4 generation methods.

UUID format: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
GUID format: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
The incompatibility just leaps from the page.

Compiled C# assemblies are normally run through the JIT - the Native Image Generator is an option.
But you're right in saying it's all down to the bindings.
You write the C# -> native compiler first ;)

Funny - I call them WinPhones, as do many of the people I know, as well as most of the sites on the 'Net.
Well I once heard that to have a real simulation of the universe, you would need to have a computer the size of the universe
Not if we use winzip to compress it.
I prefer 7-Zip - smaller files when done right.
"Everything Everywhere" isn't a UK phone operator, its the motto of their government surveillance service.
It's both.
Mod parent up - I would if I had mod points. A similar arrangement applies to other 'operators' such as Asda Mobile and giffgaff.
Guessing it's both: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/gaol

Which supports the FAQ answer :)
I wonder if the CodePlex Foundation blogger reads Slashdot...
Just don't click it. It's not like it's labelled 'Do Not Click'.

99.9% is a little high - I'd say more like 99.8% :P
From http://www.codeplex.org/About2/FAQ/Mission.aspx (emphasis mine):
The Foundation has no pre-suppositions about particular projects, platforms, or open source licenses.
Doesn't sound hostile to the GPL to me.
