I love C#/.NET/Mono, the platform is excellent and the languages great. I also work a *lot* with embedded java and NetBeans - its ok but I do feel Java is inferior to C#.
However that article was seriously crappy. MonoDevelop is nice and shows potential - but its a toy compared to Eclipse, NetBeans or Visual studio, I would never consider it for enterprise development or a project of any size, I'd rather work with cmake and Kate. When we see C# support integrated into KDevelop4 we might see a decent C# IDE on linux.
And those bizzare comparisons of project numbers - weird. And is it just me or was the grammar and sentence construction erratic and disjointed.
I want to see more mono on the desktop and server in Linux, articles like this don't help.
The thing I like best about at that doesn't get much mention is its ability to cleanly *uninstall* software. The fact that I can do "apt-get purge" and "apt-get autoremove" and a package and all its unused dependancies are cleanly removed goes a long way to controlling the cruft creep which plagues windows.
You just force the ISPs to blacklist certain addresses from their DNS
Read the articles - they aren't talking about dns blocking, they're talking about *packet filters* driven by a unknown black list. They will have false positives and they will slow the internet drastically.
Hey, not far from where I live (Camp Hill). I lived in Coorparoo 7 years ago. I remember a week of 40c+ temps over Christmas but luckily the power kept going.
Yes, I have a combined FE/BE (Mythbuntu) and a Topfield 6000 running side by side under the TV. I kept the Topfield because my wife is very conservative with regard to interfaces and hates change. Its been a few months now and she has started using the Mythbox extensively and expressed an opinion that she is getting quite used to it and likes the interface - especially the skip fwd/back keys (ad detection doesn't work reliably in Oz).
I see a time soon when we'll retire the topfield, you just got to give people time and not push them.
This some misconception going on here but I can assure you that MythTV for Ubuntu does have XvMC support in the binaries. I have run it myself with the vdieo card you mentioned earlier (Nvidia 5200)
More likely you had problems configuring XvMC in general for X - it was fiddly on Ubuntu 7.10 and previous.
However with the last mythbuntu install I did (8.04 + updates) it worked out of the box, no config needed at all with a 7200GS
And if you want to write anything that interacts with the phone beyond pretty graphics you're pretty much stuffed - limited or no access to sms, network, logs and voice.
However Python on the Nokia (S60 FP2+) is a different kettle of fish altogether, it seems to shaping up to what java ME was promised to be.
Does anyone watch the output of their MythTV on anything other than their computer screen?
Que? many many people. I had no problems with SVideo out to my analogue, then when I got a HD plasma DVI out was plug&play, no config required at all.
I never watch video on my computer screen, that's what the TV is for.
Every time I look at MythTV, a solution for getting the video onto a TV set-- in either SD or HD is a completely unsolved, undocumented and glossed over issue. When someone solves that problem, MythTV may finally not really be a myth.
Well I don't know about the USA but in Australia there's a lot of FTA digital (SD & HD) content available. In fact more good stuff than I have time to watch and MythTV is simply brilliant for recording it. Way better than my old topfield.

The summary was pure gibberish. I only deciphered it because I had fair idea of what was intended in the first place.
"... what was going to happen to crew members unlucky enough to encounter a rocket engine failure a few seconds before touchdown."
Every considered what happens if the Parachutes fail?
Love the way you espouse a theory pulled out of your ass as fact.
29th/Nov?
Wow - that's my birthday as well. Cool coincidence.
Excellent idea
Agreed, apt is beautiful.

Mono has bindings for QT4 as well, active and well maintained (Qyoto). There are also KDE bindings (Kimono).
Well, I'm waiting for the Asus eeebox b204 and b206 to come. They have an ATI Radeon HD 3450 series with 256 MB DDR2 memory and HDMI output.
And ATI HD Accelerated playback is *not* supported under linux. They barely manage video playback via XVideo.
Yeah, because that's worked *SO* well for the past 8 years.
And a remarkably stupid one, though I guess it did get them some attention.
Lack of knowledge on the general public's part as to just how easy it is to run up a GB of usage and lack of competition. There aren't many choices.
Its real. 1c/Kilobyte in the contract.

You didn't say anything when they took your guns. You won't say anything when they take your voices, either.
A few people objected but the large majority really did approve of it.
Not everyone shares America's sick love of gun ownership, nor sees it as necessary to a civil and free society.
While I agree that KDE 4.0 sucks - installing that and then updating to 4.1 is fantastic
Kubuntu 8.10 only has KDE 4.1.2

Because the MAPI SDK is only available for windows clients.
Dunno about EWS
Uh ... you don't get out much I guess.
30+ People and a house with dysfunctional plumbing. That's why they had buckets of piss.
