One cpu makes it less hassle for end-users to run and some shared resources should make it cheaper to produce than 2 cpus
So you could call it SMP for the masses.
That's particularly true for a light-weight browser as Firefox.
I don't know what exactly is your criteria for calling a browser a light-weight, but as for the memory footprint firefox is surprisingly similar to IE
So you never decompiled any of the.net's libraries while developing MONO? I'll take your word for it but I find it rather surprising. And I also have to express my respect for you guys, I have always wanted to contribute to the project but never finding the time. I currently live and work in Egypt and I do 14 hours days pretty frequently, that's what you've got to do to keep a good job here
I will ask them to know for sure if their contribution was actually integrated in the MONO codebase, I will also ask about whose name they used as they actually were a group of 3 and who was their contact person in MONO.
And I'm not saying they decompiled code and submitted as is, I am saying they used decompilation to learn and gain insights about the inner workings of the libraries. Can't really see anything wrong about that.
And believe me, I am not bluffing:)
Mono is a wonderful piece of reverse engineering
There is no "reverse engineering" involved. These applications are written in C#, an open ECMA standard, and the open source Gtk+ toolkit.
There is indeed a lot of reverse engineering in creating the MONO platform, they definitely had to de-compile the.net libraries that were written in.net languages in order to come up with equivalent libraries. And I know this for a fact as I happen to know 2 college colleagues that contributed to the MONO project as a graduation project and implemented parts of the.NET remoting in MONO.

Stop it I'm about to cry...
"My work Inbox alone has 1015. None of these are spam - I filter those out through a combination of SpamAssassin and manual filtering."
So you just delete spam emails manually and then say Aha! Got no spam today!:p
"They might help provide a solid scientific grounding for such strange phenomena as 'deja vu', intuition and a host of other curiosities that we have all experienced from time to time."
Why do we need another explanation for deja vu? I already thought that was resolved, I read it happened cuz of some delay between the singals reaching both halves of the brain, isn't that it?
To some extent I agree.... But I've seen "bitter" self taught ppl who are only half good but like to show off to get back at formally educated ppl... Taking every chance to try to show that they know more, are more intelligent, and overall a better class of people. Even when they are not actually any better.
Integrating desktop search sounds just plain stupid to me... When I install an internet browser I just want it to surf the net and display web pages, I don't want it searching my desktop and I don't want it making me coffee...
Well my personal experience with it is that I usually find extremely valuable info with little if any mistakes.....
The other day I got the Microsoft Encarta Encyclopedia 2004, so that I have a "real" encyclopedia, to my amazement wikipedia was far more useful, apart from the couple of virtual tours and the interesting graphs and timeline there was nothing to distinguish the 3 CDs worth of encyclopedia, in fact I still turn to wikipedia each time I have something I wanna know more about.

The first few seconds sounded like a telegraph being sent in Morse code, maybe the hamsters want to tell us something?
I claim Godfather!
That'd be $3000,000 Sir

to add insult to injury we get dupe "dupe comments", meta-dupes shall we call them?
RootkitRevealer is the one made by Sysinternals, not MS
Ok contacted the guys and got back the news.t ml

They wrote the HttpChannel which went into the 0.26 release, use the above link and search for HttpChannel you'll find this
Implemented HttpChannel, thanks to the work of Hussein Mehanna, Ahmad Tantawy and Ahmad Kadry.
Will all the ACs please shut up now?
yeah right, and I did so using "Anonymous Coward"

hehehe no, I'm a software developer actually. but now you got me thinking how bossy that sounded :D
Haven't we seen enough already of 802.xx hoopla? Isn't it about time someone sits down and make just one good, usable, and extensible standard?
It's on slashdot so I guess his trick has worked
hehe I'm guessing this one was intended as Funny, not Insightful :)
