I, for one, welcome our new google overlords if this in fact means other following the same example would be spared from patent claims (applies to the US mostly but still).
Utter crap and you know it. Lists of open source that exceed apples by very far can be found at your local apt, yast, ports or other open-source "retailer".
Perhaps the most important thing is to recognize the fact that Assange != WikiLeaks. I for one believe strongly in the latter but not the former. The real work has been done by other people - he's just what media (and some others) mistake for the same thing.
I'm working at a university in Sweden. This kind of behaviour would be totally unacceptable here (afaik). Sure, the wired net with static IP's has a MAC filter but anyone is welcome to use the guest wlan which works ok as long as you don't need to access file shares behind our firewalls.
My HP EliteBook hasn't crashed once either since I got it 7 months ago. I do some heavy stuff on it including gaming. It's more of a desktop replacement than laptop but still, "it just works".
*All* MacBooks and MBP's older than 3 yrs belonging to people in my immediate surroundings have problems with hanging/freezing and/or screen glitches. 2 years ago one of my closest friends had to return his brand new 17" MBP *four times* due to broken hardware. Apple != quality.
I'm not saying others are better, just that the hype surrounding Apple hardware is bollocks.
I wrote a docx-generating module in C# for reporting around 2 years ago. There were no problems with OO then and I've heard no complaints since (I tested it on OS X, Windows and Ubuntu).
Well, "Mac OS X guest on a Mac from a Windows or Linux host" implies running another OS on Mac/Apple hardware, does it not?
I'd love to run OS X as guest OS on my dev machine (not Apple) to test web pages on OS X Safari instead of powering up the old MacBook. Yes, it's webkit and I can use Chrome but still some form elements render differently.
There seems to be an ongoing effort to make ruby run well on the.NET-framework aswell, check out IronRuby or Ruby.NET for further reading. Ruby.NET supposedly runs on Mono although it requires a few patches.
Depending on the fine print in the contract between artist and record label, the artist really doesn't have any power to decide whether or not songs should be included on compilations or not. With my old band we had a clause which enabled us to decide where our songs could be used (commercials, compilations etc) but I know it varies a lot. We did sell 2 songs for commercial use and were included on some compilations but we also turned down some compilations and uses where the album/whatever was just so crappy we didn't want to be associated with it.
All artists are not the same. Some do it for money, some don't - some artists actually prefer less sales if it means they can keep true to their ideas.
For.NET the compiler comes with the SDK and costs nothing - vbc.exe for VB.NET and csc.exe for C#. If compiling with cli-tools is not popular I would suggest using the open-source IDE sharpdevelop found at sourceforge.

GIMP 2.2 Released

· Score: 2, Insightful
Well, depends on the situation. Me, I actually use GIMP sometimes because of it's excellent scripting functions. Then, on the other hand, I usually use Photoshop or ImageReady when it comes to editing the files sent to me by the AD (I'm doing sites for a PR company). I sure wish Photoshop had the same or similar scripting stuff that GIMP has though (no, droplets doesn't count since I can't edit them the same way).
you can't edit winmine.ini with the same results if you use anything newer than win2000. Cheats with key-combinations also doesn't work in XP or 2003. I've been playing it seriously for far too long.
"The real major (positive) impact this will have is on certain types of virus. There are many viruses that work on the basis of sending out emails that look like they come from trusted friends (by searching, for example, an address book and sending emails from the owner of the address book, or sending them from addresses in the address book.) SPF has the potential to make that close to impossible."
Most e-mail based viruses/worms use wscript. It really isn't that hard to script automated sending of messages from Outlook (even easier with Forms in Outlook 2003) using the prefferred e-mail account. As long as one valid sender remains in Outlook it will be vulnerable. Hell, I use it myself (for sending automated messages to myself).
If you read the Kylix FAQ you will notice that as long as you stick to the CLX-libraries there is 100% portability between Kylix and Delphi 6.
I haven't tried Kylix myself and I haven't looked to much into the CLX-libraries but I do know that Borland usually don't lie to you about stuff like this.

Agreed. I love my Topre Realforce.

...and it works well with nginx http://www.mono-project.com/FastCGI_Nginx
Most server-side .NET code works just fine on Linux using Mono. It does however require not wearing a tinfoil hat.
For us working with web stuff there really isn't anything important missing from Mono.

Same here.

It is after all just a zipped xml-file.

If you call compiled Objective-C interpreted... Monotouch will convert mono-style C# to Objective-C and then compile it.
I'm working in the .NET world and haven't had to do XML in quite a while.
I haven't used Winforms or WPF either.
What I am using is anomymous types, lambda expressions and other sweet stuff that makes coding a fun thing to do for a living.
thanks blahlemon, you made my day :)

Same with the .NET framework.
XPath, XQuery and XLST has had really nice implementations since the beginning.
