  1. (ECMA) Re:C#?? on DotGNU Meet-a-thon · · Score: 1

    ECMA owns the Copyright for C# .. so they own it not MSFT

  2. Re:Very misguided on DotGNU Meet-a-thon · · Score: 1

    The .NET is not a desktop system ... it is intensely network oriented ... stuff like Passport , Hailstorm , MyServices etc are also part of .NET What you see is .NET SDK , and not .NET "The Big Picture"

    .NET SDK has classes like PassportIdentity whic we cannot plug into the MS plumbing .. we have to make replacements

    Well our compiler is sort of a plugin API for developing new compiler .. it wouldn't be too tough :-)

  4. Re:Very misguided on DotGNU Meet-a-thon · · Score: 1

    Well DotGNU cannot be compared to Mono ... Compare DotGNU Portable.Net (which is the C# runtime/compiler/libs) to Mono ...

    DotGNU is much bigger !!

  5. Employing Indian in India on Managing a Global Programming Team? · · Score: 1

    Employing Indians in India is faced by obvious problems like getting good net access . There's actually two words which can solve the problem.

    Give him an ASDL connection and tell him to hang out on jabber and ask him to work according to US hours :)

    Seriously , I live in India -- It's d*mn frustrating to work with a guy in another timezone Unless one of them is a geek :)

  6. I wonder how the pigeon keepers will react on IP Replaces Avian Carriers · · Score: 1

    Being an Indian, I know the strikes we have and the reasons for it. I just hope the pigeon keepers recieve pension ;)

    The idea is great excluding the frequent disconnects , high call rates and an ISP that you can't trust. (I'm suffering from BSNL -- Bharath Sanchar Nigam Limited !)

    I was looking around for a GIMP plugin to do just that !

  8. Re:Problem with listing OSS? on Open Source as Programming Exp. for College Students? · · Score: 1

    Hey you are right. The FS guys may be too obessed with the freedom part..... (I am). But the employer recognises the programming skills all too clearly when he sees the code being used in a production envronment.

    I think the GPL/X licensing etc are conducive to academic progress . They encourage programmers to work hard to show off ... and build good community efforts and interactions.

    My college/university insists that our project work be published (under the GPL of course).

  9. Well, we predicted it on Ximian to Change License for Mono · · Score: 1

    (Mono+.Net > Mono). A more disturbing thought, discussed on DotGNU list, about Mono bringing out a proprietary version (anybody remember "Exchange Connector ")

    DotGNU mailing List Archive -- the stupid lameness filter is not allowing me to post the actual mail. Search for Ximian there and read Martin Coxall's comments on our reaction

  10. P2P's future on P2P in 2001 · · Score: 2

    P2P has caught on in a big way since 2000. It has grown from the closed protocol quasi-p2p Napster, to a number of file sharing applications. The most popular & reliable seems to be Gnutella. The most attractive part is that free (as in speech) gnutella clients are available.

    The HTTP protocol & Push facilities in Gnutella are great for the firewall ridden. With a search engine on the web (find it yourself), we can download shared gnutella data even with a plain old browser. This feature of the gnutella protocol (backward compatibilty) allows it to by pass the toughest restrictions in corporate gateways ,including firewalls and proxies.

    I for one have used gtk-gnutella. That stuff just rocks !. Win32 guys also have a free (again, as in speech) client in Gnucleus. All this leads to one small point P2P is here to stay.

  11. Well some people *are* indifferent on Some Companies Don't Care about Web Defacement · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Hi Folks

    this stuff is not even worth a read. There are companies that are so foolish to use IIS without patches. They'll suffer, but I thought they sat up and took notice when you defaced their site.

  13. Re:Mono misinformation on Portable .NET Reaches A Quarter Million Lines · · Score: 2, Informative

    We do not add C# to GCC. we're writing a whole compiler (cscc) , compiler-compiler (treecc) and a portable VM (It runs on Cygwin !).

    Adding C# to GCC is more work than writing a whole compiler (scanner/parser/optimizer).

    Also Mono will have a lot of problems as their compiler is *not* self hosting. Ours are .

    We have had a lot of problems with our ISP. These m0r0ns blocked SSH and told us that it was for security. Then they blocked all incoming traffic and told us that it was for our own security. In the end we threatened the company into enabling these (cause it's a small company). But I don't think we could browbeat a Multinational provider
