I've just been waiting for MONO to go away. I'm not interested in C# or and #'s for that matter. Well it looks like its not going away.
So all I have to do is make sure I don't have any of this mono crap on my computer right? Because if it's a requirement to use gnome I'm out. I'll switch to KDE.
after 10 years of programming I've done my fair share of MS based programming methodologys. I'm not doing it anymore. You see I've seen MS back them selves in a corner before. With VB with VC++ it's bound to happen with.NET while Miguel just follows right along. Don't get me wrong Miguel is a better programmer then I. However I can claim to have some knowlege about what works in Corp n-tier systems..NET reminds me of the dog and pony show. With Mono following right behind trying to validate it. As far as I'm concerned.NET is bad excution of a good idea out of reaction from competition against Java.
Now to the statement about C. Your a idiot. I will now file your name with all the other idiots that have told me over the years that Cobol and C are dead. In the world of business legacy is still the king of the game. Most people that come into Corp IS with the idea of sweeping changes find themselves incharge of nothing. So... I'd bet on being able to get a job programming C 5 years from now before I'd put a dime on Mono. Actually I'm one of those developers that won't put more then a glance in the direction of Mono. It's not a viable solution to anything I see myself doing in the future. And by the time it is. it will be rolled over by something,,, let's say more established.
To think someone downloaded software from a company in Palestine..... Hmmm... Has anyone told bush and ashcroft about this? This could be a terrorist plot!
Has anyone thought that this could be the work of the government? It could just be that the government is putting there little spy boxes in place and fooking up the job.
YES IT CAN BE DONE! The internet is a very dangerous tool of the people. The working classes.... Untill not the digital divide and kept most of the concerns of our and other governments out of or even off the internet. You see ideas are more powerful then gun, missles, plains and tanks. Collectivly we have power. Divided we have a mess of opposing ideas. I believe it was richard nixon that first coined the phrase "The silent majority". He used this as a justification for trying to keep his office of president. The idea was that... Sure everyone was shouting for his removal but there was a "Slient Majority" that wanted him to stay in office. History has shown that this "Majority" was only 35% of the population.
The Metaphor of War.
When I was 17 I joined the Army. I did this because it has been a family tradition that I thought was valuable experiance. I was a patriot joining to help defend our way of life and to attest my belief in the constitution of the united states. This country has been defended by 4 generations of Richardsons. When you join the Army you are asked to give a oath to uphold the constitution against enemies both foreign and domestic. I'm not making this up. So why does the powers that be want to remove personal freedoms?
Does anyone remember when the War on Drugs was started against the American people? Well It never affected me. All the people in public housing that have to concent to searches going in and out of there homes. After all there was a "Majority" of people that believed in it right? The war on drugs is just a Metaphor! There is no real war going on except against the american people. All the shooting in south america and other drug producing countries are by rebels that actually might have a good reason to take up arms against their governments. I don't live there... I only know whats going on from what I read on the internet. Well years later we are still fighting the war on drugs. Low and behold searching people in public housing was not enough. We need roving check points on our borders. We need survalance of everyone. We go after people that in most cases are not even stronge enough to commit a violent crime. All in the name of keeping america safe from the drug crazed elements in our world. It's even created whole new types of corperations. Prison corperations that live off of a steady stream of bodies that need to be warehoused.
Does anyone remember the first Metaphor war in this country. Correct me if I'm wronge but I believe it was "The War on Poverty" started by the carter adminstation. I have a personal belief that this war was not sexy enough for the republicans. Because we seemed to drop that pretty fast when the poor started to be viewed as Crazed Crack addicts. Now if we as a nation were going to take up a impossible war this is the one we should be fighting. I don't think anyone can disagree with this. But we don't... We funnel in millions to law enforcement to fight drug use in the form of locking up the users. Ask a cop if he feels good sending a 18 year old to jail for having drugs. I've known A+ students that served 10 years for drug charges. What service did we get from that. A really scary person that could have been something grand. I don't want dealers on the street and I DON'T want drugs legal.
Which brings me to the War on Terrorism. Hey I'm all for protecting the country/world against bad guys. But let me ask this question.... If we stoped pouring resources into a failing drug war based on locking up the users. And instead turned to actually tighting up our borders couldn't we maybe get more truck, ships and planes searched for both drugs and weapons?
Where is all this leading? Your focusing on a battle not the war. Your focusing on the symptoms not the root cause. You watch your government take more and more away from you and you sit in your homes and pretend that you are so aware that it makes you a better person. Well did you vote? you did? did you get someone that did not vote to vote? Did you write your congressman to show disaproval of the fact that they signed the Patriot act after only reading a 3 or 4 page summary? I know that NO ONE was there to say "Hey you can't search these people just because they live in public housing". And I bet no one will be there to stop this landslide that is taking over the nation. We need to be vocal with this failing form of government. It's not a democratecy if only 40% of the population votes.
As a nation we need to find the root cause of this encrochment of our person rights and freedoms. I believe the root cause to be the lack of respect for the constitution by our government leaders. They will sit and tell you that for your safety we do these things.... They are lying! They do these things because the benefit the people that got them into office. The corperations and special interest groups. So when you whine about your posts to the everquest board shouldnt' be monitored your kidding you self. They can do what they want because even with the internet we are not ready to band together under the banner of freedom outlined in the constitution of the united states of america. So when they start replacing internet routers with computers that log ever packet. All to be gathered and processed by a government contractor that will be using your tax money to read your e-mail to mom. When the police get information on what pron movie you purchase with your credit card. When the army comes knocking on your door to recruit your 17 year old son because their records show that he can follow orders in his online games. Don't Panic. Because its all in the name of your protection.

P.S. spelling and grammer errors left in due to the fact that I really don't have the time to type this in the first place.
If I was asked the 1-10 which is missing I would walk out the door.... I bet you have a bunch of smart asses that like to try and out do each other.
I have done a ton of interviews... I've been told that I am very good at them. One thing I stay away from are those kind of retard brain teasers. What you get is someone who is good at retard brain teasers.
I'm not even going to help with any suggestions. It's is plain to me that you or your company has a problem with programmer centric ego's.
Oh it just makes me sick. If you are a american you should quit your job and find a company where the owners care a little more about their employees. I've left companys for less. For instance I quit a company because they wanted to fire american workers and run the software on Citrix clients in Mexico. Rather then help them I left. Left them with out any developer support for the 450+ user system and laughed my ass off when they tried to call me for help. In this country we don't have any type of labor party to look after national IS workers interests and it is starting to show. From what I understand about 6 out of 10 projects that try to use overseas programmers fail for one reason or another. Mostly not being able to convey the business logic to the overseas developers.
If only you could tell us the name of your company so we can boycott it.
Slashdot is not a real magazine. It was built by and for the tech/geek community. Now you guys compare slashdot to something worth of a subsciption. Lets take a look at motorcycle.com they are subsctiption based. Their fee is 11.95 for a year. 11.95 is what all my print subscriptions are costing me. Not 20 dollars... I can tell that your marketing fooks have their calculators out don't they....
You don't have original storys unless you call the Jon Katz stuff storys... ( they are not cultivated storys ). More or less they are adhoc reactive stories. I'll be sad to see slashdot go but If you monkeys can't make it with out subsctiption funds then. by cya
The fact is that anything more then a dollar a month is totally unrealistic. ( now matter what your marketing dept says ). This is all going to come to a head soon anyway... You need to explain that people only have so many 20 dollar bills a year to spend on the internet. sure you might get some people at first. But when they pay and don't get anything really useful they will drop you fast. You think people will pay for ads. You monkeys should know just as well as me that people learn to ignore ads.
I know I ignore all these ads on the internet without the use of any ad blocking software. So if I come with this ablity to ignore ads and Slashdot does not really do any real journalism. I just don't see any reason to pay you anything.
P.S. as you can see from my slashdot id I'm one of your older readers. Sorry to disappoint the marketing dept.

Why would i buy a laptop from HP. Maybe after they fire one of their executives.
I've been around for a little while. And I have to ask myself. If I were Bill Gates. How would I draw developers away from open source development?
Great job on Mono... But i'm not touching it.
If i put my car in the microwave the dash will explode?

They should be fined for such arrogance. What's the deficit at now?
Can't wait to walk past TSA with this hooked up to my pda, mp3 player and gameboy advance.
I for one would love to ride a giant metal dog to work every day. And at 50 pounds per squad thats 400 pounds capacity at least.
Then you could paint it up like a Warg Beast from LoTR.
Could we tack on the end of these little iTunes stories that no Linux version is available still? Thanks.
No Ogg? forget it! ( here's my dollar walking away ).
To think someone downloaded software from a company in Palestine..... Hmmm... Has anyone told bush and ashcroft about this? This could be a terrorist plot!
"disseminated to the bad actors." I fail to see what Burt Reynolds has to do with it.
I actually accepted the idea years ago that the cosmos ( as we know it ) will expand into the cold void.
But I'm wondering.... Will matter speeding away from our big bang some day combine with matter from a totally different bigbang.
Or even better! What if we could jump off this cosmos and join another one!
And I'm a recovering EverQuest addict.
I've got 4 months now. And I'm finally getting my life back together.

Has anyone thought that this could be the work of the government? It could just be that the government is putting there little spy boxes in place and fooking up the job.
First I'll address the intenet monitoring.
YES IT CAN BE DONE!
The internet is a very dangerous tool of the people. The working classes.... Untill not the digital divide and kept most of the concerns of our and other governments out of or even off the internet.
