    but ... what if this patch breaks your important system???? what is common for ms patchs....
    then you get f*** for taking down a working system and you can never prove you had done something necessary
    if you can't trust the patches you have to wait 'till you have feedback from other users
    that means to have to check for every patch in combination to every applications you use
    at many points it is even easier to "drop the ball" and reinstall after something happened

  13. Re:Oh-oh. on Mono - 'Breaking Down the .Net Barriers' · · Score: 2, Informative

    seems they also thought about this
    from http://go-mono.com/faq.html#licensing
    Patents Question 122: Could patents be used to completely disable Mono (either submarine patents filed now, or changes made by Microsoft specifically to create patent problems)? No. First, its basic functional capabilities have pre-existed too long to be held up by patents. The basic components of Mono are technologically equivalent to Sun's Java technology, which has been around for years. Mono will also implement multi-language and multi-architecture support, but there are previous technologies such as UCSD p-code and ANDF that also support multiple languages using a common intermediate language. The libraries are similar to other language's libraries, so again, they're too similar to be patentable in large measure. However, if Microsoft does patent some technology, then our plan is to either (1) work around it, (2) chop out patented pieces, (3) find prior art that would render the patent useless. Not providing a patented capability would weaken the interoperability, but it would still provide the free software / open source software community with good development tools, which is the primary reason for developing Mono.

    if we are not criminals we can keep semi-automatic rifles at home and i dont think ammo is limitet (not exactly sure about this)
    for a hand-gun you need licence (silencer, laserpointer and knifes with blades over 9 cm are no longer allowed
    we are not allowed to have full-automatic weapons except of the army rifle
    we have not many gun crimes compared to US

    yeah of course :p
    if we join the army we get a automatic rifle and even some bullets to keep at home (it's part of our militia system)
    but it is not legal to buy or own other such weapons
    they wanted do requier tank crews to keep their tanks at home but nobody had space for it, so they just sold the old once to people for near to nothing,
    it's a shame that you have to keep it inside of a building or i would have bought one :p
    what we have is called a half direct democracy
    that means we have some sort of congress too and to my happiness no president(if i look at bush). but we have also the possibility to infulence our law or constitution directly by a public vote
