I sure can't wait till it comes in English;)
It will mean same code on all machines Again Java works...And C# will become adopted by *nix right as microsoft flexes its copyright/patent portfolio and destroys all things unix
I heard enough of this stupid bickering. I think C# was fun to code in but it doesn't make it the best programming language there is.
But hey if someone wants to extend C#/.NET to linux more power to them. I will probably even use it in linux.
The only question I have is, if it is really better than other programming languages/systems (so they say)...(Assuming Microsoft doesn't destroy all who use it) Wouldn't it be wise to have a linux implementation of it. Isn't linux about having a choice. If I said you all have to KDE we would see the same "mindless bashing" again.
I first used a Netgear WG311 54g. I found the driver from the madwifi group on sourceforge. It was not very easy to set up. I added the modules to/etc/modules.conf and then in the network startup scripts I created one for ath0 (the atheros chipset)
Made it static ip and told it the wireless routers ip as a gateway. It magically worked then.
The newer ones use the XTERASYS XN-2522 card which is much much cheaper. They use the prism54 drivers and in their forums they have some good steps for setting their driver up in mandrake 9.2.
Good luck
I just built two mythtv boxes. The hardware costed about $450 a box. That included 11g wireless networking and 1.7 GHz Celerons with 512MB of memory.
I used mandrake 9.2 and used the above mentioned thac's rpms (urpmi is wonderful!!)
The next one I am currently building I am going to use Mandrake 10. I might have to compile my own myth stuff but it can be done.
$450 for a lifetime of TV watching sounds like a good deal to me.
And don't forget about the way he pulled the money out of our wallets by introducing the extended version of his movies. No other director has done that to the extent the PJ has.
I can imagine that after all the movies are out there will be an extended extended version. 6 hours a movie!!
I have to agree moores law is not necessarily a law. It was meerely an observation that still is the trend.
However, since the law has morphed several times, it would be safe to assume that we may reach the physical limit of silicon but there is a whole periodic table out there ready to be used in the industry.

I don't think Novell is competing with SCO. SCO does not have a product (well one that is worth much at least) The only way I think Novell would be competing with SCO would be to file lawsuits against all things linux.
More than that. IF SCO somehow wins and gets to charge everyone an enormous fee for using linux. Novell would just have to pay SCO, which I don't think is competion.

I agree that photoshop is over-rated and over-priced. There are many $100 image editing software titles that do about 80% of what photoshop does, and you can do at least 98% of common image editing with it. I don't think the final %20 percent is worth another $600. I could possibly imagine paying $300-$400 for it. They may have spent many long hours working on it, but is it really worth the extra dough--I don't think so.
AOL allows you to get "content" that you wouldn't be able to get anywhere else. Gator allows all sorts of useful searching and ads on your computer. MSN explorer A very nice web browser that takes over your whole web experience. Webshots is a very nice background rotator that hogs bandwidth and proccesor time and whaterver else it does. Weatherbug is a handy little sys-tray app that shows the weather, and watches your every move.
So if you are willing to listen to all the "help" given here on/. You will have the buggiest bulkiest computer there is.

I agree that C#/.Net is not the most advanced platform. BUT, I don't think it is just another fad. I can search countless websites with information on how to use C#. I feel it has cleaned up a lot of the nastiness of Java. It is not the perfect language (That would be PERL;) )but I find it very EASY to use and understand. My father-in-law, who only programmed in C before has picked up C# and is really enjoying it.
There may be issues with microsoft calling and saying all C# derivatives are ours. I am sure C# will not be a core element of the Linux Kernel. I think it is an easy way to program and create a GUI.
I can't wait for the day the program I create on windows runs on linux without a recompile/rewrite. And I can't stand programming in Java. I started Java about 5 years ago and it never has been a favorite. It is portable but the way the VM works it is very bloated. I don't know how mono implements the interpreter but I do know that windows will run the program once and do a machine compile. You will be able to rerun that again and again without having to reinterpret the code. (unless you shutdown )

I just finished school and by the time I left almost all of the computer science classes were using linux (red hat to be specific) all the electrical engineering classes were using hpux and linux (debian --old debian) all the programs we made were designed to run on *nix. That implies the cost of educating people to develop on *nix is dropping dramatically.
There is also a large microsoft group called dev hood. They give away free msft products so there is large support for it. But the actuall classes that require msft are all those with minor programming. Most of them use VB.
They state that half of them come from poorly written code. I bet somewhere they say the other half come from user error. Heaven forbid an operating system to manage the errors without blue screening.
Yesterday my usb mouse somehow died in linux, did I have to restart---no. I just removed the usbmouse from the modules and then restarted it. And it worked again.
The SCO Group (Nasdaq: SCOX) helps millions of customers in more than 82 countries to grow their businesses everyday. Headquartered in Lindon, Utah, SCO has a worldwide network of more than 11,000 resellers and 4,000 developers. SCO Global Services provides reliable localized support and services to partners and customers. For more information on SCO products and services, visit http://www.sco.com.
Helps millions of customer!!! Yeah by serving legal notices. I think they are spending more time reading linux code than they are fixing any of their own code.
David Boies' law firm, Boies, Schiller & Flexner, represents SCO. Boies represented former Vice President Al Gore in the 2000 election recount and tried the U.S. antitrust case against Microsoft.
The election recount??? Microsoft antitrust?? Can he really do any damage (besides tying up the judicial system) ?
Of course when I am "working" I have no need for anything other than the windows I am working on but there are times when I sit back and write scripts and for fun. I enjoy watching news feeds and the weather, if I could do it all while watching my digitally blasphemed desktop all the better.
If your goal is to convert the rest of the world to linux a little eye candy never hurts. I noticed quite a few people say the "love" windows xp.

Dot Net is cool man.

It is supposed to take over java

It will mean same code on all machines
