  1. .Net on Mono+Ikvm Runs Eclipse · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "One question might be, and I'll be as direct as I can be about this,
    what is .Net? Unlike Windows, where you could say it's a product, it
    sits in one place, it's got a nice little box. In some senses, it's a
    very good question."
    - Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, at a Microsoft .Net briefing day in July

    "We don't have the user-centricity. Until we understand context, which
    is way beyond presence -- presence is the most trivial notion of
    context."
    - Microsoft chairman Bill Gates, on the same topic at the same briefing

    "Our biggest problem was policing the use of .Net. Things like .Net
    Enterprise Servers. That's a great example of where the confusion came
    from, because it looked like we were slapping .Net on a bunch of random
    products."
    - Charles Fitzgerald, general manager of Microsoft's platform strategy group,
    in August on ZDNet News

    "It's about connecting people to people, people to information,
    businesses to businesses, businesses to information, and so on. That is
    the benefit."
    - Steve Ballmer, trying again, in an October interview with News.com

  2. Re:I'm not impressed on Anti-Aliased Fonts For GNOME · · Score: 1

    Tried it out yesterday (yes, you can use it with your current GTK theme) -- and an interesting achievement as it is, i couldn't see any benefit. Really. Everything just looks fuzzy. The take-home message? By correctly configuring your (standard) XF86 font subsystem you CAN achieve a very pleasing impression. Check the font feuglification HOWTO next to you.

  3. Great, and used for real work! on What About Functional Languages? · · Score: 1

    Ericsson uses a (free!) functional language Erlang (www.erlang.org) to program their switches, which is not really a simple thing. And they always "brag" on how productive their people are with it. So: go functional!

  5. Re:This Won't Work on Identification By Typing · · Score: 2

    Right. We've performed experiments on this in our CS class (University of Karlsruhe, Germany). They showed that you can imitate a typing pattern of another person within reasonable tolerance. And you need this tolerance to allow for the "noise" in your own typing.

    Tough luck.
