I predicted Mono's death 3 1/2 years ago using memetic analysis.

He's still dead, Jim.

There is no reason for mono to exist, if MS wants to support other platforms let MS do it.

Mono is not and will never be compatible with .net. .net is very crappy to work in and only exists to lock in developers to MS products. There are plenty of free cross-platform languages that are superior to the mess that is c# and lots of rock solid cross-platform API's.

Stallman is like a zombie who doesn't realize that he died long ago, so he keeps walking around and talking, and saying useless things.

He had a good idea. He did some with it. Others took the his ideas and other and built greater things. This is the very essence of what he preaches. Yet he is very bitter that Linus crossed the finish line and he didn't. He wants naming rights and everything.

I haven't heard a useful idea from Richard in a long time, and its likely that you never will again.
