It's Dead, Jim.It's Dead, Jim.Posted Jun 24, 2005 5:08 UTC (Fri) by ncm (subscriber, #165)In reply to: Does it matter by pjhacnau Parent article: Microsoft Puts Roadblock in Front of Open-Sourcing Avalon and Indigo (eWeek) Miguel has always argued that the avalability, or lack thereof, of any specific library/assembly doesn't affect the usefulness of Mono. Oddly enough, he's right, both ways. Mono is not useful no matter what sort of baggage they pile on it. That horse won't run.

It's Dead, Jim. Posted Jun 24, 2005 6:45 UTC (Fri) by bronson (subscriber, #4806) [Link] It's a shame to see a LWN subscriber trolling.
Troll? Posted Jun 24, 2005 14:30 UTC (Fri) by GreyWizard (subscriber, #1026) [Link] Dude, ncm is not a troll just because he/she just doesn't think Mono is useful. Post an informed rebuttal if you disagree. That might enlighten all of us. Crying "troll" won't.
Troll? Posted Jun 24, 2005 17:09 UTC (Fri) by irios (guest, #19838) [Link] He IS trolling because he is making unreasoned assertions on the uselessness of Mono, and whether another person posts an informed rebuttal or not does not change that.
Lighten up please. Posted Jun 27, 2005 16:25 UTC (Mon) by GreyWizard (subscriber, #1026) [Link] We're talking about a snarky three sentence comment in an informal discussion. Would it have been better if ncm had articulated a supporting argument? Certainly. But you can't expect every post to come with a ten page academic paper attached. You especially can't expect this only of comments with which you disagree. Some people think Mono is useless. They might be mistaken, but you will neither convince them nor improve the quality of the discussion by calling them names. A polite reply pointing out reasons Mono is useful would have done both. Please, let's leave puerile pastimes like Troll Patrol to Slashdot.
