Hilarious. We can't also let Knuth poison GNOME with his algorithms and datatypes.

Call me a retard then. Linux is a kernel. GNOME is not Linux. dotNet is a common runtime and compiler for a set of languages. Mono is a reimplementation of dotNet. C# is not more MS than Ruby or Python is. They all run on both Mono and dotNet. You sir fail to understand both technology and patents. -- Patryk Zawadzki PLD Linux Distribution _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
