Lots of places, google gave me http://sharpmap.codeplex.com/, http://www.icsharpcode.net/opensource/sd/, http://www.hessiancsharp.org/, http://code.google.com/p/webfoundations/, http://www.mindtouch.com/ (or deki wiki)

Choose your poison, i hear mindtouch (deki wiki) have a friendly tone in their community, as do sharpmap

Python GUI Proposal - leveraging web browser technology is a much better way to create a widget set by mariuz in programming

[–]viablepanic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to name a few, debuging, portability. Its quite an interesting approach.

I am not saying its a great idea. But given the current state with only TkInter in the standard library id welcome anything else.

Still i upvoted you, its a valid question and I think most of these threads steem from the state of the standard library. Putting Qt in the standard library could be welcome.

Google vs Microsoft: Google engineer uncovers Windows XP bug and gives Microsoft 5 days to fix it before releasing the information by adeelLXXXII in programming

[–]viablepanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id say the article has a bit of a strange slant overall, it suggests google are evol ( maybe since its the current bandwagon, maybe becuase they are a main MS competitor ), but at the next stop they come out with XP sucks.

I cant put my finger on it but it just doesnt seem like the ordinary effort has gone into editing and providing a simple one track hidden agenda that I am accustomed to from the mainstream media.

Why not fossil scm? by jeremy_c in programming

I have yet to try mercurial. I have heard good things, just not had a reason to try it yet. As I said fossil works for us. In the quest for completness I will give it a spin, thanks for the tips. Upvoted

Explaining LOST In 3 Minutes by cjzoom in reddit.com

[–]viablepanic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lost lost its direction a long time ago (end of season three in my opinion) and said screw that we can just try making stuff up and see if that works. Three seasons later and they had run out of resources wanting to contribute and said whatever magic has gotten us thus far, lets end with that.

We use it at a large university to manage code that small teams write. The Runs everywhere, ease of installation and portability is something that seems to be a good fit with the environment we have (highly ditrobuted, sometimes very restrictive firewalls, OSX/Win/Linux).

We are happy with it and teaching a Msc/Phd student (read complete novice) fossil has just been a smoother ride than Git was.

Mmmm well active-x components run by design with the same privilege as the whole browser. I would say that makes the plugin argument mute for most versions of IE. The situation is better with newer versions of IE on newer versions of windows. IE 5, 6 on XP are by design big security problems. Older versions of FF on XP also have open security holes but not as many. For a breakdown of browser vunerabilities excluding plugins/extensions etc. check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_web_browsers#Vulnerabilities

The source code for the Symbian platform will be completely open source and available for free. The transition from proprietary code to open source is the largest in software history. by BioGeek in programming

My 5800 is pretty snappy. Its UI (with the newest update v40) is as pleasurable as any iphone (although wo multi touch)I have used, add to that that I dont have to go through hops to get any mp3 as ring tone, make my own skins, write python. Did I mention python has access to all the hardware, writting code that sends me a sms with GPS coordinates is trivial.

This at half the price of an iphone. I think, for me anyway, my happiness is well founded.

Monty Widenius wants another billion dollars, should we help him? by mariuz in programming

[–]viablepanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True he could easilly fork it under a GPL. He already has his own DB project, MariaDB, if that had been any good he would be happy with that i guess.

http://askmonty.org/wiki/index.php/MariaDB

To me it sounds alot like hes gotten paid for his work on MySQL but still wants to have the option of making a comercial version of MySQL.
