    Mono does not 'seriously' lag behind. Yes, it's always going to be a little bit behind, unless progress on the .NET framework were to come to an end. I just took a .NET 3.5 web app (Pretty complicated - with web services/AJAX/etc) over the weekend and fired it up in Monodevelop 2.4 and it compiled and ran with no modifications. (Yes, I was surprised myself) It's not lagging anywhere near as far as you think it is.

    And Sun may have open sourced Java SE in 2006, but looks like Oracle closed it again in 2010. So your point is a bit weak. (And you're talking Java SE, not the whole platform)

  5. United "Abominartions" is more like it. on UN Telecom Chief Urges Blackberry Data Sharing · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Here's what the "great prophet" Dave Mustaine has to say about the UN:

    Within striking distance from Ground Zero sits a smoldering
    International cauldron, the "United Abominations" as it were
    Born to prevent wars, it froze in the face of disaster and
    Stood silent while terrorization took hostage the world
    In a mire of hypocrisy, the UN ignores sex crimes by its
    "blue-helmets", and enables terrorism; so that in the end it's failed
    And the UN is where our so-called "friends" get to stab us
    In the back, and we pay 22% of their tab to host our enemies
    Here at home. Ambassadors from countries, otherwise known
    As a catastrophe, enjoy diplomatic immunity living in
    Manhattan, while their children are turned into prostitutes
    It's a complete and utter disgrace, a blot on the face of
    Humanity, and they get away with it.

    Poverty in their kitchens, held hostage by oil-for-food
    Yet their own plates are full off the fat of their lands
    There's no blood on their hands, right Kojo?
    They promised to tell the truth, without leaving a fingerprint
    They will lose the UN one way or another
    The victim, I fear will be us, sisters and brothers

    The UN is right; you can't be any more "un"
    Than you are right now, the UN is undone
    Another mushroom cloud, another smoking gun
    The threat is real, the Locust King has come
    Don't tell me the truth; I don't like what they've done
    Its payback time at the United Abominations

    A grave and gathering danger, the decision to attack
    Based on secret intelligence it'll take years
    I fear to undo the failings in Iraq, Iran, and Korea
    You may bury the bodies, but you can't bury the crimes
    Only fools stand up and really lay down their arms
    No, not me, not when death lasts forever

    Man: The UN writes resolution upon resolution.
    We really need a new world order.
    Woman: There is no order order. I don't believe it
    I don't even listen to the talk of this new world order.
    Man: They'll never do anything.

    NATO invaded Yugoslavia to end ethnic cleansing
    There was no UN
    The U.S. invaded Afghanistan after 9/11
    There was no UN
    Saddam Hussein violated 17 UN resolutions
    The U.N. was
    Asked to join the war in Iraq: The US invaded
    There was no U.N.
    Libya bombed a discotheque in Berlin killing Americans
    There was no U.N.
    And Iran funds Hamas and attacked the US in the seventies
    There was no UN
    Facing War without end, looking into the future
    There was no more UN

    1) Out of date? Java is out of date and screaming towards obsolescence with Oracle suing Google. I wouldn't base my company on that anymore, might get sued just for using it. [C#/jQuery/TrueAJAX/WebServices/ScriptServices/LINQ/etc here - you calling that out of date? I'll just laugh and then spit in your face.]

    2) Of course old people appear tired, it's a physical effect of gravity pulling on skin for a long time. What's your point? I think you're confusing "calm and collected" with "Not a young ADD-addled idiot who can't sit still" - basically a young tweaker. Nothing worse than going to an interview with a little boy who acts like a yippy poodle at every question, more looking to ego-stroke himself than truly interview the interviewee.

    Yipper: "How many objects are registered with the DOM if you have two objects on the page??" [With a smug look of "you old scum" on his face]
    Me: "Um, two..."
    Yipper: "No! No! No! No! There's THREE, you forgot the document object itself!! Yip yip yip!" [Shoulda seen the look of "I gotchu!!!" victoriousness on his face]
    Me: "OK, should have let me know we were also counting objects that exist by default. In that case, I'll need to consider how many objects exist by default within a newly instantiated DOM then. Can't give you an exact number, but it's way higher than three."
    Yipper: *crickets* [with a death-stare for beating his ego]
    Me: "Any real questions for me? Otherwise I've just made up my mind that I don't want to work here if that's what passes for intelligence here."

    Really happened. Fuck bullshit little dweebs. [Got a far better job that pays more, later that week.]
