Having actually been in the RMIT building I can inform you that:
a.) It's not a death trap, it's just a modern high-rise building.
b.) The theater is long gone, and the huge high-rise that is built on it, has absolutely no contact with the theater.
I think you're problem is in thinking that translating and interpreting are the same skill as being able to speak the language. ie. That someone who speaks both French and English will be good at translating the two languages.
This is not actually true. Translating and interpreting are also skills. They are skills that can be taught too. I speak English as my native language, and speak German and French both fairly competently. This didn't make me good at translating or interpreting between these langauges.
Only after doing translating subjects at Uni. did I start to increase my proficiency in this area. One thing is for sure though, I can translate a lot better than the 'Fish at altavista:)
Who cares about portability when mono is being used to make really sweet apps for gnome. I don't care about whether these programs run on Windows, I'm just happy they run on Gnome now.
Examples of sweet mono apps for gnome Beagle, F-Spot (My personal favourite), Muine, iFolder.
So what does it matter that Java is more portable than C#/Mono if mono means sweet apps for Linux now?
