  3. Re:If there are patent issues on Reasons To Use Mono For Linux Development · · Score: 2

    There are patent issues with every technology.

    there are no patents on C++ and even if there were they would have expired by now.

    None of which will prevent some unscrupulous parties from patenting decades-old technologies with our wonderful approve-happy patent office meaning you can spend a shitload of money licensing bogus patents or several shitloads of money fighting it in court.

    ... it's the goddam Freedom Act.

    It's like calling it the "Save The Little Kitty Cats Act."

    With all of the beatings of dead horses going on I would think horse whip manufacturing would be highly automated by now. Hell we should have dead horse beating robots by now.

    Take Fox News and MSNBC coverage of any given story and split the difference and you might get something vaguely resembling the truth.

  24. Re: Music discovery on The Music Industry's Latest Shortsighted Plan: Killing Freemium Services · · Score: 1

    Most of the music I've purchased over the past few years I discovered on streaming sites. I've discovered artists I've never heard of in genres that I thought I knew very well. I've even discovered genres I didn't know existed. Of course none of it is top 40 pop, country, R&B or hip hop so the record companies couldn't care less that I'm supporting some obscure band even if it is one they represent.
