The SWF format is pretty open, as these things go. The FLA format used by flash is proprietary, but SWF documented and that's the bit that actually get's published on the page.
The MING library can generate SWF from PHP et. al.
ZatAoMM actually does talk about motorcycle maintenance, if only elliptically. In this reader's estimation it also contains a lot of mystical hot air. I made myself read it after many years of wondering why so many people find it a life-changing book. I'm still wondering.

Twist on DNA Privacy

If you feel the need to object to DNA privacy issues, bear in mind that three men were wrongly convicted of the murder initially and cleared much later before a new investigation finally caught the real perpetrator.
My experience was that we could get multi-threaded C# servers to take, say, tens of requests per second, all backed onto a SQL server backend and generally with each net request corresponding to one or two stored procedure calls. This was with fairly bland hardware. That suggests (very unscientifically) that by tweaking the code and scaling up the hardware we could get in sight of maybe 100 req/sec for each server. Beyond that, not sure. This was not HTTP by the way but custom protocol based on TCP with XML content packets.
.. and I've had no problems writing multithreaded listeners and the like. In fairness, I should say that I didn't have a requirement for very high performance, but I didn't think it was a slouch either.
"So it's another GPL project tied to WINE and the MonSter that ate Redmond?"
No
WineLib is there to aid people who want to write Windows.Forms (fat client) applications that are cross-platform. But you could write "pure" *nix stuff using the GTK bindings without using Wine, and you can write console mode and asp.net apps without Wine.
I'm not sure what you mean by "heavy weight service threads" in this context. But in Windows terms you might be better off writing an NT service in C# (which is supported, native, out of the box) and writing an ASP.NET front end. Or maybe I've misunderstood what you are trying to achieve...
CLR has support for explicit threading (create thread, abort thread, rendezvous...) and also a highly efficient thread pool for async execution.
Let me say first off that I love the idea of Mono and wish it every success. Although it will one day (hopefully) have pretty comprehensive coverage of.NET features, right now it doesn't.
I've just downloaded the port for FreeBsd of mono 0.24 and was delighted to find that hello world works. True, not an exhaustive test but nice to see. Then, I thought, how about seeing if my current applications would be ported. So I looked for the System.DirectoryServices library only to find it wasn't there. OK, not a big deal for some but I need LDAP access. The JIT stuff seems pretty good, but the libs are incomplete.
So a qualified hurrah to all this. I'm delighed so far, but it won't run all.NET code today.
To say nothing of the way that the joint Poptel/Ausregistry bid was handled.... as someone who was working for Poptel at the time I was just a little bit hacked off by the process.

While agreeing that MS screwed IBM over the whole sorry OS/2 saga, I don't recollect that it was about open sourece IPR.
Is there any subject on this site that is immune to reflex bashing-of-all-things-Microsoft? Stop the snide Mono remarks already.

You know, I never knew that before. Thanks, Slashdot!

Wow. Now I'm scared. Really scared :-)
Useless, but very impressive-looking.
And yes, I know it doesn't run on 6502 machines...

If I understand your intent, you probably meant "Nazis" and "Communists" rather than "Germans" and "Russians"?

My point was really that Mono is about more than "the desktop".

Has nothing to do with the desktop.

Was this a troll? OK, I'll bite. If it's been released as part of the GPL, what's to sell back to Microsoft?
