I find it funny how close minded people are being about the benefits of C# and Mono just because of its source. I understand skepticism. I don't understand irrational fear. I understand engagement. I don't understand isolationism. Which camp are you in?

Throwing out the baby with the bathwater. Posted Jun 10, 2008 23:54 UTC (Tue) by felixfix (subscriber, #242) [Link] When one company has spent decades building up their reputation as someone not to be trusted, it is only surprising that gullible people pop up now and again to trust them. It isn't Mono and C# that are the questionable items, it is the company behind them, who have made plenty of noise about enforcing their patents on those items. Address that issue, and perhaps then you will have some cred.
Throwing out the baby with the bathwater. Posted Jun 11, 2008 12:55 UTC (Wed) by Kamujin (guest, #52482) [Link] I agree that MS has earned its bad reputation. I think your response proves my point though. I am not aware of any real patent issues that exist with Mono and C#. If there are issues, then there should be debate and action taken to correct them. I don't hear real issues being raised. I just hear a lot of anti-MS rhetoric. If your just going to dismiss a really good technology because you don't like who invented it, I think your making a mistake.

(1) "I find it funny how close minded people are being about the benefits of C# and Mono just because of its source." I find it sad how gold-fish-memory like people are being about the said 'source'. Heck the recent story of another of their ECMA so-called-standard - pushed down ISO with corruption, pressures, ballot stuffing and plain smear campaigns - should alone give any rational person pause.(2) (1) "you are either with me or against me" (a brilliant early 21th century philosopher circa 2001.) (2) "Fool me once, shame on ... shame on you, fool me twice ... euh. fool me I can't get fooled again" (same brilliant early 21th century mind, circa 2006)
Throwing out the baby with the bathwater. Posted Jun 16, 2008 16:12 UTC (Mon) by Kamujin (guest, #52482) [Link] I think your being extreme. "Trust but verify" is what I am advocating. Not blind acceptance. And certainly not the "I'm smarter then the world" attitude that is the logical implication of your disengaged viewpoint.
