Frankly, I was considering it, and it might have been a better option if it were only about the app.
This application is as much a learning curve as it is a functional useful application, so I chose something I didn't have real life experience in.
Another thing that bothered me is that java at this time only half-ass integrates with linux/gnome which is my personal main platfom and as such the platform where it'll run most of the time.
In.NET/mono you also have the possibility to call framework methods to reliably retrieve those special directory's, but I mainly was trying to say that you should use the framework instead of relying on something you assume
I know it's not an integrated forms designer, but using Glade and monodevelop works fine.

I am writing an app for mono that is supposed to run on linux mac and windows in the end. From what I see it's nowhere near just starting a.NET app on linux using mono.
The app clearly has to be written with crossplatform execution in mind. (I know this goes for c and java too, but some people seem to think they will run office on mono in the future.). You need to steer clear of anything that depends on a platform. - if you define a path, make sure you use path.combine or path.directoryseparatorchar instead of a / of \. - don't depend on environment variables - pay attention to casing, don't say "file.ext" when it's "File.ext"
I know it should be ovbious to any cross platform dev out there, but I just thought I'd bust some bubbles with some of the less informed.
I partly agree with you on that, the degree of hammering done on ms software is larger so the amount of bugs found is bound to be larger too.
That's not a problem though as IE will have more marketshare for a couple of years still, and their users are probably less IT-literate, so while the hammering continues to plague IE, i'll be gladly using firefox
What makes me wonder is this: If he is being disconnected and people don't see his screenshots (the position i still seem to be in) they won't see the message neither;)
happened a couple of days ago for the windows build (with the shell: exploit) a few hours later there were already multiple(3) ways of updating(2) or disabling the feature (1)
looking at what groklaw did with a little work it should be possible to create a free software patent task force of some sort. Just gathering information and presenting it in a clean and well worded way. There's just got to be a lawyer or 2 somewhere using linux and interested enough to get behind this.
If you would've read the article you wouldn't have made a fool out of yourself like that.
He mentioned he knew that too, but slackware+fluxbox is not really an option for a non-geek.
Face it in the wold out there most computer users are not geeks compiling fluxbox and xfree from source with -ftracer -O19 -ffast-math whatever to get reasonable performance.
They just install it (if they even manage to do that themselves) and then run the default setup for a few years. Fact is that the default windows setup runs faster on low end machines though i get the (unscientific) impression that linux runs faster than xp on a higher end machine
The problem with wiki's is that they use 1 template for all pages, including the sandbox, everything is wiki.pl?PageName or something like that. You would have to dive in the code instead of just "using" the wiki
There is a robots meta tag for this that you can put in your headers for a single page (robots.txt needs subdirs) but unfortunately most webmasters are too ignorant to realize the power of these:

When for example you are looking for a home dir, on linux that would be getenvironmetvar("HOME") while on windows that is "%HOMEDIR%"
It does pretty much everything except for the gui designer (and a debugger or help system if it's not built correctly).

I was referring to the apologies section specifically ;)
What makes me wonder is this: ;)

sure, bombard someone's dyndns url with 1400*1200 screenshots from slashdot and whatch him get kicked by his ISP :)
kmh obviously...
going downhill at speeds of over sixty it might even help them.
It would slow them down but maybe less people would end nearly falling off a cliff

I've been tracking stats for lots of corporate and less corporate clients and apart from 2 sites with a student audience I can't see any difference.
Off cource this is in Belgium where mozilla hasn't been on TV (yet)

Damn i wanted to read this too....
Now i'll just say i'll read it later but probably never will
didn't pass the test so it seems
If i try that url you posted (even with another domain than domain.com) google gives me a forbidden message.
Does anyone have that working?

having the wiki coders handle this would definetely rule to the umpteenth degree!
as most spam posts have several links in them, wordpress allows setting a treshold: X number of links in the comment gets cued for moderation.

I'm still in favor of an isp blocking a home users port if there is a worm exploiting it.
You could change your ssh port if you want to
