Regardless of whether they live with those extra digits, the genetic code to have them is already in their makeup. It therefore becomes a distinct possibility that 6 fingers is a bad trait, but becomes rampant in the human population regardless. Moreover, our current society doesn't correlate most genetic strengths with survival, so a superficial change like this is basically overlooked in the evolutionary process (I believe this was the point of a post higher up in this thread).
Amen!!.NET on other platforms will be comparable to asp on linux. It 'works', but leaves much to be desired without all the objects on windows. (not that asp WITH those objects is all that great)
Any moderate+ sized.NET application well need core windows services and APIs to operate. That's like having a jvm without most of the core java language libraries. Just porting (if THIS even happens) the IL code over to other platforms won't allow any real use of.NET... unless you think microsoft might port it's window's APIs
You got me in that: no, the source isn't 'closing'. No one has the right to hide bugs from us, but that doesn't mean you have to advertise them either. The overall concept is still the same though... WE are the developers and testers and users. We are the marketing and tech support. From newbie to guru, if you use gnu stuff, you signed up for all these jobs. That's the part of open source many people over look. It's not a way to save money, it's a paradigm shift.
I don't look at bug tracking as just a way to improve software, it's also a way to make people even more aware. And really, that's what this all boils down to. We're all really just trying to spread awareness. In code, docs, and even bug tracking.
So, while netscape isn't specifically responsible for informing the community of bugs, the community itself is. Ideally, people shouldn't think of information (any information) as something you can hold back, even if you don't want people to know

Did you seriously just draw a comparsion between Crocodile Dundee and Indiana Jones??

Skip the collection plate, just have their lawyers visit /.
