A cause that condones egregious irresponsibility for the handling of sensitive information?
A cause for Anarchy?
What's next? Bank account data and credit card numbers released in the name of "free speech"?
Or maybe some jackass will steal and publish the codes to unleash a nuke from some third-world nuclear power?
Give me a F'ing break... All you self-righteous soft-skinned assholes pursuing this "cause" enjoy freedoms you have not earned.
If PFC Manning is found guilty of treason he should hang. Assange should be "disappeared". And wikileaks should be harvested and relegated to the stinking pile of ideas conjured by a sub-human sub-culture with absolutely no grasp on anything remotely resembling reality.
Sun would like to establish a Java monopoly analogous to Microsoft's Windows monopoly
They are certainly trying to leverage the Java brand, i.e. the Java Desktop Environment (which has very little to do with Java in-and-of-itself), but I'm not so sure about their "monopolistic" endeavors....
But, that's not the point. My point is that.Net and Java are fairly mature (Java more so than.Net) but are still open to significant changes and improvement. This gives them a tremendous head start over Mono.
They both have large resource bases working on them.
They are both freely available, as are many good tools for working with them. (Java is way ahead of.Net AND Mono on that front).
There are low cost/barrier entry points for enterprises implementing the technology.
They have a great deal of cross-industry support.
I guess that in a nutshell: I just don't see any compelling reasons for the industry to put enough weight behind Mono to make it a real player.
To borrow a phrase from John Stossel: Give me a break!
While Mono is cool project and, like many developers, one I've been following since it's inception, I don't see it ever overtaking Java, or.Net for that matter. It's a simple matter of resources.

Stallman's head would probably explode
And that would be a bad thing?
Sounds a lot like Trilogy. Only they burned thru several hundred folks here and then shipped the whole damned thing off to India...
