Whatever your feelings on mono is, it's hard to debate the closing statement of that article: "The Java community has taken Linux for granted," Hargett said. "The assumption is, 'What else is Linux going to do for managed code?'

While I can see your point, my approach is more of a middle way. I use a up to date standard compliant browsers like Firefox 3.5 when developing sites, but I keep the my CSS restricted to what I expect will be supported in MSIE. If I go ove

This isn't meant to be my view, this is how the internet is viewed by the average non-techie. That would be a non-techie in the US. Outside the US, people have to deal with more TLDs, more people are multilingual and hence exposed to more

They are in MySQL, which everyone here seems to be using despite everyone knowing it is the least performant database system out there.

I guess all those .no, .de, .it, .se, .dk and all those other national TLDs just represent pretend-sites then. Not to belittle you, but you seem to have an incredibly Americanized and introverted impression of how people percieve DNS names.

First of all. Sometimes we comment because we honestly think you've raised a point worth debating and discussing. I'm sorry for responding to you like you wanted a debate, instead of assuming you were a prick. In that case, I guess I read

What do I care for in a browser ? Prettiness? If it blends in with the native look of the OS, that is "pretty" to me. Safari fails at this. Firefox does not. Speed? I have a Core i7 idling at 1% CPU all the time, unless I'm doing HD video

What's with the defensive attitude? I'm saying that things being pretty is not my primary concern when looking for development tools. It's OK if they are pretty, but that's pretty far down on the list of things I care for. As for Safari's

Indeed. Sounds very much backwards to me. If anything, stuff developed to work with the restricted CSS-support in older MSIE versions (MSIE8 is actually not that bad) has a much higher chance of rendering correctly in Firefox, Opera and Saf

According to the author that just means that you are using the wrong OS for web development, because despite how the world wide web is supposed to be platform independent, there is only one OS for web development</sarcasm>. Besides

So basically what you are saying is that google plan to "embrace and extend" the web? While this may be a step which is required to bring the web as a platform forwards, I'm not sure I like the sound of that either.

How does a preference in games (or, more likely, choosing a game absolutely everyone would know about for a sarcastic remark) in any way relate to technical knowledge?

This had me laughing: The canonical example of failure in tech journalism is TechCrunch, a blog that once declared Google's MapReduce to be a system that "reduced the links found on the web into a map that search algorithms could run over.

I'm sure there is an equally reasonable explanation of costs and implications for your example. There sure is. Had I defined a method (like you suggested), and just gone ahead and made my function variable point to that, the compiler woul

I'll just assume the whole SF thing applies to you too on that one. Just like most people don't give a shit about what OS they use, most people don't really care about browsers either. I have never had issues with Firefox, I don't care one

I'm using it as my default search engine and has done so since the official launch. It was pretty much just a "lets try this thing out" kinda experiment. So far I have seen no reason to switch back to google. Short summary: My opinion on bi

Ok. So I'm interested in what this may be. That said, I'm not going to vote up news about upcoming news.

Neither would it be safe to to assume anything about the OS before it has been released. Yes article, I am looking at you: "it should be faster", "Google is promising boot times measured in seconds", " If Google can come up", "we migh

They very clearly state it is an OS geared for low-resource netbook style computers, where browsers are up and running within seconds of pressing the on button. We don't have one of these yet, afaik. My laptop (Windows) and Netbook (Ubunt

Not so much making big claims as airing the possibility. Just saying that avoiding Google entirely these days is harder than it might seem. Since so many people use Google's services chances are they might wind up with some of your data o

That doesn't alter the fact that they are much more in control of what most users do, yet people regard Microsoft as the one we should be afraid of. And how would you know if you send mail to someone using gmail or gmail hosted that google

I think the author raises a valid point. Back in the days, when Microsoft was the big, bad guy which everyone feared, not a monopolist, but the Monopolist, the One That Had To Be Stopped(tm), the current state of affairs was as followin

Funny how the news about the browser having to become more like a OS comes from Microsoft about just the same time Google announces their own web-tailored Linux distro. I'll just assume this is a coincidence, but it seems Microsoft is (fina

The current state of the Chrome browser on Linux would make this "web OS" the equivalent of Windows 3.11. In it's current state, there is really no way to compare Chrome and Chromium and claim they represent the same kind of polished produc

Even for a minimalistic web-browser Chromium is still rather lacking. While what used to be butt ugly font-rendering has gotten better, at least to the point of readable, as far as I can tell there is still no plugin support. The only way y
