Microsoft's .NET goes Web 2.0 with Sadville
Sadville is rolling out the open-source implementation of Microsoft's .NET on its virtual infrastructure in a step towards enabling software development. Linden Labs is installing the Mono Project's virtual machine on its heavily trafficked Second Life servers - Sadville runs more than 2,500 clustered servers. The move means …
I was going to suggest...
I was going to suggest this as a story when I saw Miguel's blog entry yesterday, but I figured you'd pick it up anyway.
I think my headline would've been better, though: "Sadville meets Cloud Cuckoo Land"...
Who wants mono?
The name might also have something to do with it, I mean who would go out of their way to get mono(mononucleosis)?
Paris because. . . well that should be obvious.
Automated life
I don't know much about virtual living, being too entrenched in a real life to have the time or indeed inclination to even find out. But does this mean that in addition to creating a virtual life to avoid reality, a virtual life in which to pretend to be that which one isn't, the actual virtual existence created can be automated via script so that one doesn't even have to pretend to live it?
Wow, this really is escapism.
"Microsoft has promised to protect Novell customers who used Mono from legal action by Microsoft "
So has Microsoft now become so big and all-encompassing that it must protect associates customers from itself?
I wonder if they can also extend this to protect us from Vista?
Paris - 'cos she needs protection from herself sometimes.
The Reg's attitude to Second Life...
...just reminds me of Quentin Crisp's old adage that the worst of the gay-bashers were usually latent homosexuals themselves...
I'm a big OS fan, but this is typical of what happens in the OS world. It goes like this...
1/ Slag off Microsoft and complain about how crap they are at sticking to existing standards and how they keep making up their own "standards" which (almost always) only work on MS operating systems (I use the term loosely)
2/ Write a clone of the MS product
Don't bother coming up with any original ideas; no - just copy what some commercial outfit has come up. This is no better than MS's "innovation" that they keep banging on about. In fact it's worse! At least MS DO come up with new stuff occasionally even if it is bloated , slow rubbish.
>At least MS DO come up with new stuff occasionally
As far as I can tell, all the MS stuff I've seen is copies of other peoples ideas.
DOS, Windows GUI, Office apps, servers and services, application frameworks - all done before by someone else. Not necessarily better, but definitely before. MS is good at selling their version, and superb at hitting the right market at the right time, but I struggle to think of any major innovation they can claim.
Paris, because I'd rather spend time with her than in Sadville
"Don't bother coming up with any original ideas; no - just copy what some commercial outfit has come up. This is no better than MS's "innovation" that they keep banging on about. In fact it's worse!"
Gotta disagree strongly on that point. I'd much rather run Samba on a Linux box than a Windoze server for my file / printer shares. Likewise there are apps that run faster under Wine than native Windows. Then, too, there are chat clients that speak the MSN protocols that are far better than Windoze Messenger.
Well, .NET itself is, erm, a little derivative, no?
"Slag off Microsoft and complain about"
No comment really, just the pic. It's YOU isn't it!
@AC about MS innovation
"As far as I can tell, all the MS stuff I've seen is copies of other peoples ideas."
Well, not quite true. Sometimes, it's things that they lawfully bought from the owner. They used to do that when they didn't have the leverage they now have on the US gov. For example, they did buy the Quick and Dirty Operating System (QDOS) that they based their early success on. Only to remove the "quick" part. They did tremendously strenghten the "dirty" part though. A kind of compensation, shurely.
On the other hand, Vista file system organization and (dare I say) UAC is clearly an attempt at getting where everyone else has been for decades. Though they changed the name of the classical "home" directory into "users".
Don't push, I was leaving anyway
I am a derivative work
of my Mom and Dad...
But I am different from both, and I may decide to do things my own way.
Knowledge is a cumlative work.
Invention is simply knowledge + "I can do it better"
knowledge + "everyone else is wrong"
copy existing work + better marketing
Everything is built on something that already exists.
neither Linux|Windows were incepted to a woman in a cave, by an angel. Both are copies+improvements/changes of what came before.

Delta, the nation's #2
airline (in terms of passengers carried) has joined several other
airlines in allowing customers, including those traveling on Song,
Delta Shuttle and Delta Connection carriers, use of certain
'Portable Electronic Devices' on taxi-in to the gate on Delta
domestic flights in the United States. This rule change takes
effect Friday, August 15, 2003.
The hand-held electronic devices allowed with this policy change
The new policy does not apply
to passengers on Embraer Brasilia turboprops (right), which are
operated by Delta Connection carrier SkyWest Airlines. The
use of personal computers still will be prohibited during
taxi in.
"Delta customers want to use their travel time more
productively," said Patrice Miles, Delta's vice president of
Consumer Marketing. "This change will allow our customers to use an
extensive list of devices for business or entertainment for a
longer time while onboard the aircraft."
Delta also will continue to allow the use of cell phones and
pagers prior to departure while the aircraft doors are open.

FORT MEADE, Md. (AP) -- A military judge says she'll announce on Wednesday the sentence for Army Pfc. Bradley Manning, who gave reams of classified information to WikiLeaks.
Army Col. Denise Lind said Tuesday she was still deliberating but would announce the sentence at 10 a.m. Wednesday.
Manning faces up to 90 years in prison, but prosecutors have asked the judge to sentence him to 60 years.
Manning's defense didn't recommend a specific amount of time, but suggested he should spend no more than 25 years in prison.
Manning was convicted last month of 20 counts, including six violations of the Espionage Act.

I have been using the unit for almost 6 months now. The amount I pay for the amount of storage I have is a good price. I go randomly and always observe the property to be debris free.

DEFINITION of 'Multiple Managers'
A situation that occurs when an investment portfolio's assets are divided among several fund managers to monitor, analyze and manage. Ideally, the purpose of multiple managers is to allow managers more flexibility in the administration of each fund by enabling each manager from the group of managers to focus closely on specific sections of the portfolio.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Multiple Managers'
Under this method, each manager has autonomy and makes decisions on behalf of the client. There are some drawbacks to this approach. This type of investment portfolio management can sometimes be more costly and have higher fees than a portfolio monitored by one manager. Also, if managers involved do not work as a team in order to meet the fund's overall investment goals, the clients' portfolio can be negatively impacted.
