schestowitz, i was re-reading and I want to make a point clearer.. even if mono core is safe from patents (if you want to believe that) it doesn’t mean your mono app relying on mono core will be since it might overlap with extension characteristics that ms has patented.. |
Jan 19 18:00 |
| jose |
..in fact, the point of the section on extensions may not be that clear. |
Jan 19 18:00 |
| schestowitz |
_doug: yea, seen that |
Jan 19 18:00 |
| jose |
..in fact, all of it may need some fixing.. i understand it, but I’ve been thinking about this for a while and i also wrote it so know what i meant |
Jan 19 18:01 |
| schestowitz |
Isn’t that adorable? |
Jan 19 18:01 |
| jose |
i’ll probably want to re-read in a few days and see what i think |
Jan 19 18:01 |
| schestowitz |
jose: I found some good bits on .NET in Iowa stuff.. |
Jan 19 18:01 |
| schestowitz |
It’s really a must-read |
Jan 19 18:01 |
| schestowitz |
jose: thanks. |
Jan 19 18:02 |

don’t keep me waiting |
Jan 19 18:02 |

Jan 19 18:02 |

Jan 19 18:03 |

The MAFIAA says the torrent protocols is ‘ileggal” |
Jan 19 18:04 |
| schestowitz |
*illegal |
Jan 19 18:04 |

when you post raw material, others can do some of the work.. works great |
Jan 19 18:04 |

ileggal is not a problem |

Jan 19 18:05 |

Jan 19 18:07 |

if by raw copy, you mean the original text essay, then yes |
Jan 19 18:08 |
| jose |
would it help/hinder if i add some markup? it might be fake mark-up but maybe help you out.. i may not do that though |
Jan 19 18:09 |
