how to teach a Trabant cruise at 200Mph spped, using wheels and engine made of massive gold
<whitequark>
huh?
<DocScrutinizer05>
I wish I could make that damn Fuji camera talk to the wlan and my linux PC - would't even need to do sprites on a FPGA ;-)
<DocScrutinizer05>
the damn thing (.wine/dosdevices/c\:/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/FUJIFILM/FUJIFILM\ PC\ AutoSave/PCAutoSaveSv.exe) already starts and shows up in systray, but it doesn't open any network socket
<DocScrutinizer05>
no surprise, I'd say
<DocScrutinizer05>
now my eyes started bleeding again since I did a ls of some mono dirs
<DocScrutinizer05>
mono/.net sure must be the cancer of computer science
* DocScrutinizer05
clicks on "start.exe" in konqueror, glares at a black window, pukes
<whitequark>
mono is nice and .net is a decent runtime
<larsc>
how dare you say that. .net is the anti-C!!!!! ;)
* nicksydney_
is staying from .net conversation as has been burned badly before thanks to M$
<whitequark>
um, exactly
<whitequark>
I consider C the blight on all computing
<whitequark>
if something nice was ever written in C, it's despite it being C, not thanks to
<larsc>
I'm being sarcastic, or at least trying to be
<DocScrutinizer05>
sorry, when *on linux* I see a so-called 'library' consisting of a heap of stinking .exe files, I can't help but puke
<whitequark>
nothing wrong with PE
<whitequark>
a framing is a framing. don't some systems still use a.out or something?
<viric>
is there anything good not written in C?
<whitequark>
viric: say, Mirage.
<viric>
good name
<viric>
I don't know what it is :)
<DocScrutinizer05>
size of executables/binaries of mono is same ballpark figure like the *sourcecode* of known_to_be_a_monster libboost
<larsc>
ocaml... and you know this is a research project
<viric>
larsc: "research project" means "forgive us if you don't like it"
<viric>
or "sorry, it's not as good as we expected"
<DocScrutinizer05>
mono; 460 files, 126MB
<DocScrutinizer05>
libmono-2.0_x86.dll is already 10MB
<whitequark>
larsc: fun fact: it's by the same people who wrote xen itself
<whitequark>
which is totally a research project except it now powers ummm let me see, amazon, rackspace, linode, and which fraction of the world's datacenters overall?
