Mono 0.30 Released

· Score: 3, Interesting
The Mono Project is an open development initiative sponsored by Ximian that is working to develop an open source, Unix version of the Microsoft.NET development platform.
They may develop independant libraries, but the core of it is just implementing Microsoft's.NET platform which is the core library. They will always be catching up in that initiative, and they might as well just develop a completely new base of libraries.
You would that instead of perpetually being behind Microsoft in the current state of the libraries, that we would develop a completely new set of libraries. That way we aren't always playing catch up to what will ultimately be a windows only set of libraries.
A couple big chunks would work. I was just saying that a torrent for every file would definetely not work to save bandwidth, because there is tracker overhead and chances are no two people will be downloading the file at the same time.
I know bz2 usually gives better compression ratios (well, chances are if he's zipping JPGs or MPGs it isn't going to compress down much anyways), but zip is much more prevalent.
As far as a torrent for every file. Please, he'd waste more traffic on the tracker. It would have to be one large file, otherwise there wouldn't be enough concurrent downloads to justify the overhead of the tracker for each individual file.
Programs do the exact same thing on every run. Jumps are jumps, they can be followed. Conditional jumps either jump or they don't. So you just follow both possible paths. You do have a point about the code & data in one place. But this usually only happens in JITs, Virtual Machines, and Program Packers. The JITs and Virtual Machines you'll just have to have a port to the destination system (which is pretty likely to already exist if its popular). You could have a plugin system that recognizes executables packed by popular packers and decode them. I mean its not going to be pretty but wouldn't this work?
It is American culture and governing bodies they want to kill. If people don't see what they do, then it will effect no one alive, and therefore they would have accomplished nothing. Even the most basic terrorist organization can understand that. Also, they don't have the capacity to kill all of America, so they are going to have to settle for scare tactics. And that requires spreading the word. I am very right on my point. Terrorist's are no different now than any other time.
You are so naive. Trying to grasp anything, that can possibly differentiate yourself from the rest of the world. Does everything you possess obtain the qualities of dull-depressed-shit-generic-wannabe recycled paper product? If not, then how can you rest knowing you have not totally differentiated yourself from humanity, and in the process effectively promoted everything that is shit, like the representation of your life which you just portrayed?
These brothers are only *shining*, because they used this technology to intentionally steal, harm, and otherwise attempt to illegally seperate one from what is rightfully theirs. Theft is not a game, life is not a movie, and these people are by no means a good basis for *technologically-in-tune* people, when they are so out of tune with the rest of the world. This just shows what a ego-damaged physically capacitated person will do, to prove he is still human. In all reality it is a sad desperation, just begging for attention. I feel pity for these people, I don't want to be them.
I'm not equating Al Qaeda's actions with the brothers. I'm attempting to represent the similarities between the spreading of the story of Al Qaeda's terrorist activities (as a demonstration to show that by doing this, their activities performed their purpose) and his spreading of his endorsement of the brothers thereby popularizing the use of technological theft.
Terrorist action unequivocally requires repeated propogation of the description of their actions in order to justify their actions. They wouldn't do it, if they didn't get exposure. That is what I reject to. If you consider the propogation of this attitude cool, then you are implicitly endorsing the action itself.
Thats why I'm saying have it virtually execute it. Have it trace along the program jumping to all possible paths. Anything it executes will be code, everything else will be data. And also have it take both paths of conditional jumps. Why wouldn't this work?
Why can't there just be a recompiler for x86. Have a program that crawls through the executable, recompiling the instructions along the way, and at conditional jumps ignore the conditional and recompile both possible paths. Doesn't seem too hard. Wouldn't this work.
Dude, Osama bin Laden is so damn cool. Did you see how on Sept. 11 he orchestrated a complex attack on the US, involving a collection of covert actions intricately interwoven to form a subtle web that was transparent to the casual observer, but from afar, in hindsite, would almost look to be like an extremely organized terrorist hit. You know you're right, appreciating and even praising people with utter disregard for others is fun. Thanks for convincing me, bud.
This article just shows that even a blind person can be as big a dipsh!t, as anyone with sight. If they were ripping innocent people off without technology, there would be outrage. But the fact they are using "social engineering" and hacking techniques make them idols? Those who think this is cool, are more blind than the brothers.
For real dude, that is one awesome comment. Does anyone else think that maybe sun doesn't want Eclipse to "fragment", because it brings them closer and closer to the capability of creating a competing JVM. I hope they do create a new one. More power to 'em.
Oh not the file system! The users data is nothing, but if it destroys something that is easily reproduced with a reinstall then its horrible. There was sarcasm intended in that comment, by the way. As far as what the paranoid dude is talking about: an indexing file system will just mean it will be easier to search for what you are looking for. Instead of having a particular name, you can search on attributes. Natural language queries will follow shortly thereafter. Microsoft is making a very smart move here. Not that this hasn't been done before, but they are integrating it in with the core OS which is something Linux has needed to do for years. And as far as the automatic execution of some spyware program or whatever bologna he's talking about. I'm sure it will just be like todays file associations, except instead of treating everything like a file to be opened with a program, it will probably be treated like an object which you can perform actions on. At least thats what they'd do if they were smart. And I'm sure these actions will be customizable by the user (again if they are smart).
Those sound like trolling words to me. I'll bite. Gentoo is for anyone who wants a good, streamlined, easy to administrate machine. A hobbyist has very little need for their effective init system or etc-update. You must define a professional as someone who desires slow binaries, slow updates, and tedious configuration. Gentoo is as professional as it gets. And if you are a true professional and don't like hassling with the install then you can write an install script very easily.
I don't understand why more people don't like Gentoo. The system is beatiful. Automatic dependency identification/retrieval. A wonderful init system. Installation is pretty easy and teaches you how the linux underpinnings work (although it does take a while, but the basic install is just partitioning a disk, untarring a stage file [which gets 98% of your system in place], chrooting to the new system, compiling a kernel, installing a bootloader, adding root user, and restart.) Of course they are also developing a Gentoo Install Script (GIS) which would make all that automatic (I think there is already a couple Gentoo installers out there). Also, they have a logical layout of where programs are installed. If a package does not exist yet for it (unlikely) you can pretty easily create a new ebuild which describes the build process and dependencies. Also, every package is built specifically for your system, which is nice. It upsets me to see people move to Debian over Gentoo (usually just because they don't like to wait on the build process). There are a lot of other features besides being source based. OK, off my soap box.

What exactly would keep anyone (using film or digital) from taking a picture of a picture?
Don't bug me man, I was on a roll :-P.

Well, you could always zip the whole site up, and put that up as a bittorrent link.
I completely agree.

I'm just saying the user data is the reason the system is there to begin with. If your user data gets corrupted, then whats the point?
BTW, I'm not WiNazi. I actually hate Microsoft and personally use Linux at home and work. But I do think that what they are doing is a good idea.
Oh not the file system! The users data is nothing, but if it destroys something that is easily reproduced with a reinstall then its horrible. There was sarcasm intended in that comment, by the way.
