The earth has been both hotter and cooler than it is now.
So obviously if the earth is getting hotter, man must have incurred Earth's wraith and we shall be DOOMED TO ETERNAL FIRE AND STARVATION if we don't make amends IMMEDIATELY!
I'm all for taking better care of the planet, but the global warming nuts haven't really provided much evidence and they're the ones making the allegations.
The way I see things, if you make a bunch of claims, the burden of proof is ON YOU... not the people you're speaking to.
But I don't think that takes away from the fact that.NET adoption is 1/10 that of Java or less nor from the fact that.NET OSS adoption is probably less than 1/10th the size of Java's.
Nor the fact that it's in Microsoft's interest to do so, nor the fact that this is probably an attempt to change that.
Microsoft eventually wants.NET to be competitive with the Java platform.
They know that Java has a massive, massive advantage in terms of OSS 3rd party library availability. As mentioned in the article, this comes from high profile Java OSS projects like Apache's Jakarta, Eclipse and others.
So Codeplex is their attempt at getting a similar ball rolling for.NET. We'll see if it succeeds, I doubt it will catch on in a similar fashion though,.NET is doomed to niche Microsoft operating systems.
Yep, "in a string of attempts to play nicely with open source" sounds like "in a string of attempts to nicely play open source" but it's not really the same thing.
I think that the guy sucks for not parlaying all that exposure into something.
By being a whiny douche about it, it missed out on all kinds of opportunities. I mean when 1 billion people know who you are, you have serious marketability. I mean 1 billion people probably don't know who Barack Obama is.

More like a library of congress.
Don't worry bro, Ballmer got rid of the real problems in the office.
Now that it's "all Ballmer, all the time" it's smooth sailing from here on out.
*sells all Microsoft stock*
Props to you and the other retards modding you insightful.
It's worse with Microsoft.
They have a monopoly on the Operating System market. This will give them a defacto stranglehold on the entire Windows software market.
"Gee Mr Coder, you appear to have a Linux version.... we don't like these kinds of apps in our store."
"Gee Mr Coder, this appears to be an office suite.. we don't like competitors in our store."
Good job fuck mook, there are over a hundred total.
It's still quite accurate.
I'm biased as fuck.

Nors for everybody!
I assume you must be one of the codeplex people.
Good luck and GG! ;)

Why are the assholes at Phoronix still getting linked on Slashdot?
They just make up whatever they think will get them the most hits.
Dying creatures thrash about as they go to meet their doom.
News at 11 (please don't sue me gemany)
You? Definitely not.
That's funny, I wasn't aware.
Brittish is the Ammerican spelling.
The Xbox (orig or extra 360 crispy) didn't provide a comparable experience to PC's *when it was released*, let alone today.
So what you're saying is you prefer less choice because you can't reign in your spending habits?
They should have called it the "Mii Too."
Another Ballmer fumble and the chair goes wild! No points for team Microsoft!
It's a bot.
I wonder if wallstreet will take Blizzard's approach.
But me, I'm using it. I'll finally be able to get that +5 Ferrari of Laiding I've been lusting after.

Remember, just because you're a paranoid psychotic nut job crank doesn't mean there isn't a conspiracy.
If that's the case, the machines should say "You *might* have won X, please go check with the management to ensure this unit is functioning properly."
Truth in advertising and all that.
Way to be a judgmental asshole.
I think they meant "money troubles" in that they needed to have money to live on, whereas with 11 million dollars they wouldn't.
Lighten the fuck up.
