I don't think it is fair that you got first post, I wish I had got first post, my first post was going to be quite good. Someone (perhaps the shashdot editors should fix this). Maybe in retrospect I should have realised that an Anonymous Coward by nature would try to get first post, but I didn't, my hope was that the Anonymous Coward would change his behaviour this time so that everyone would get to read my post - but I guess the Anonymous Coward can't be trusted to do the right thing after all. Its a shame though. I really hope that from this chastisement Anonymous Coward will get message and change his spots. Irrelevant first posts are selfish and spoil things for everyone.
Those Mozilla guys! - the demonstration was done on a mac, every single Mozilla developer uses a Mac. And it's funny, they constantly attack Silverlight, they constantly attack Flash and then all of them use proprietary operating systems, they don't seem to have a problem doing it. And then they had the Guiness record thing for Firefox 3 and you went to the website and it had a flash map to show where people are downloading - so there definitely is a double standard here. It is getting ridiculous.
And that's after all their claiming that you can do everything in AJAX - so they definitely don't "walk the walk". Mozilla is evil therefore we'll help poisoning the web with Silverlight, fuck open standards - consumers dont care where new ideas come from, just as long as they're offered at competative prices.
Why hang on to the old? Everyone should be running the newest of Windows, which is Windows Vista! People who still get by with XP are uncool and stick-in-the-muds. Windows Vista on a Wacom-enabled Tablet PC is the way to go! And Windows Vista to me seems much faster with the new wallpapers! I love Microsoft and everything they do. Products like Vista, silverlight.NET and OOXML powered Office 2007 are brilliant. Going forward vista will be the only way to get the latest version of.NET, moonlight and windows-update. I really have a mancrush on Steve Ballmer, too. I love Microsoft! I want a job at Microsoft!
Ever since 2.0, Gnome has started turning into a confining environment, restricting more choices with every release.
First they made a new window manager; I'm sorry, but until this day I don't see what Metacity has that Sawfish did not. But I immediately noticed all the options it did not have. Then they started dropping options from various configuration dialogs, basically turning applications from tweakable tools to one-size-fits-no-one crap.
I know I'm not the only one who hates what Gnome is turning into, and while I do keep trying out different UIs (and I'm very partial to E17, BTW), KDE 4 may prove to be interesting and comfortable enough for me to convert.
Maybe you should get work done instead of masturbating with your desktop environment. Other than changing the background image and window color scheme, how much more diddling do you need?
Novell was almost cult-like, and a little scary to be honest
Hmmm, suspect the account NotZed (19455) is an alias for Jeremy Allison. If thats you Jeremy wait till you see the craptastic clone of the craptastic clone of the craptastic flash software.

Once you have read the MS.NET source can you later become a developer for mono?
(Before java was GPLed the FSF led classpath and gcj projects wouldn't touch your conributions if you had seen sun java sources or signed certain sun documents. Better safe than sorry)
What if this gets default installed into campus copies of Visual Studio, many graduate developeers would be accidently contaminated.

That's the sig you're probably refering to, but it didn't belong to the miguel you are refering to, anyways I bet you wanted to spend your time doing something else, like making out with your girlfriend (haha, just kidding, if you actually reading my opinion [...] you have no girlfriend to make out with).
Don't worry, I'm very confident the Novell management will find competent/less-ethical replacements very quickly. After all, there are lots of extremely skilled people over here in the Ximian division.
So there you have it, a mouthful of personal opinions. I bet you wanted to spend your time doing something else, like making out with your girlfriend (haha, just kidding) personally if I were you I wouldn't waste my time flaming superstars on message-boards, in my experience the must effective technique if you want to register strong disaproval and influence change is to slow handclap someone while they speak.

who modded this flamebait? I always enjoy the paperclip posts.
Already tried a demo of this lifedrive. It was terrible. WGA kept complaining "NOT GENUINE, IMPOSTER DETECTED, NO ADVANTAGE FOR YOU!"
I for one welcome our Microsoft Overlords
I love this quote from John Case, GM of Microsoft's developer division, commenting on Nokia agreeing to put Microsoft's Silverlight On Mobile Devices:
"We can't pretend to be a really ubiquitous play without being a partner with Nokia and Symbian"
MSOOXML.NET is the future

Pfffft IMG tags are so 1995 - I really don't see your problem. Some of us really like these comics, and happen think they're a great idea.
I think optical drives are great

what about mono?
I suggest the author checks out all the innovation going on with mono.
