  1. Review - Damn Small Linux

    2.1 RC1 (Dec 7, 2005)

    Another nice Linux distro. Linux is getting to bloated for small gui installs though: QNX can do the same of a floppy disk.

  2. Comment - OpenDocument Foundation Dissolves, Leaving Projects in Disarray

    2.1 RC1 (Nov 15, 2007 - 8:34 AM)

    Well, the point tis that ODf is not really what comanies need to replace microsofts old format. ODF pointed this out, but got killed for doing so it appears. This leaves the very relevant issue at the core of this uncovered. And sadly so. THis will not help ODf, this will help MS in the long run.
    Only if people relalise the importance of ODF's issue with ODf will prodress ever be made agaist MS dominance of the market.
    So this indeed IS a major setback for ODf, like it or not.

  3. Comment - Microsoft Makes .NET Framework Source Code Visible Under License

    2.1 RC1 (Oct 4, 2007 - 2:26 AM)

    Microsoft could allready make this claim. Its been possible to read the .NET core source code with the Reflector program for years. (The assemblies are not scrambled so they can be coverted right back to thier original source code state.) So thats not really new. THe new part is that is can be done in the VS debugger and that you can also see code comments, which is nice.

    But to say that MS is doing this to be able to sue Mono or the like is stupid beyonfd anything i have heard in a long time.

  4. Comment - Microsoft's .NET Evangelist Spells Out Future Role for Dynamic Languages

    2.1 RC1 (Jun 14, 2007 - 3:01 AM)

    The point is, of course, what you yourself point out. http is an intermediate layer, and its just slowing you down as the protocal is quite heavy.

    He isn't saying it's different, he is just saying: Why have your program use http as the communication layer, when you can as easily use TCP with WCF.

  5. Comment - Microsoft Invites Mozilla Devs Over

    2.1 RC1 (Aug 22, 2006 - 7:50 AM)

    Firefox vs. IE - Likely FF win.
    Thunderbird on the other hand just lives of beeing a FF bundle partner. ON its own meerits its just a really crappy mail client.

  6. Comment - Microsoft Confirms: WMP for Mac Dead

    2.1 RC1 (Jan 13, 2006 - 2:26 PM)

    He, he...

    Well, Microsoft is probably going to keep making Office for Mac for some time. I mean, OS X is basicly a *nix, so as long as they keep the code base going they can allways jump to support the rest of the *nix market in a short time if needed.
