Running the test suite like this allows us to catch problems when they are just introduced.

When it comes to .NET they've done a really outstanding job.

In the GNOME project we tried to keep the platform language independent.

So if we're going to build new applications that require a large time investment, like say movie editing - today that doesn't matter for the enterprise desktop, but eventually it will when we get closer to consumers - you really need to have a cross-platform story.

I was interested in Java the beginning, but the problem with Java is you do have to switch your platform.

We've been using C and C++ way too much - they're nice, but they're very close to the machine and what we wanted was to empower regular users to build applications for Linux.

We all love Linux, but it's also a fact that some people might not be able to migrate.

It's strategic for us - lots of people will develop applications in .NET.

After releasing Mono 1.0, we started work on a new edition of Mono that will be released later in the year.

I think that by October the whole company has to migrate to OpenOffice, and then I think it's by June next year we all migrate to Linux - you don't want to migrate 6,000 people both operating system and office suite in a single jump.

They have a beautiful security system and we're emulating the whole security infrastructure.

I've never worked with the Java community.

Our strategy in dealing with patents in Mono is the same strategy that any other software developer would take. In the event of a patent claim, we will try to find prior art to the claim of the patent.

We have a lot of existing customers which are also considering Linux desktop migrations and rolling out some of these programs, so we're learning from them.

Not to go too far, but Microsoft is probably used by most people out there.

In some cases we've been building tools that are specific to Linux for the desktop, and they only work on Linux, but I see two major projects that are wildly, wildly successful: Mozilla and OpenOffice, and those two programs are cross platform.

Some scientists use TeX or LatEX but for most people Word is the thing that writers use these days.

Every piece of software written today is likely going to infringe on someone else's patent.

We cannot choose one desktop over the other - Gnome or KDE - because there's users for both code bases.

Running the test suite like this allows us to catch problems when they are just introduced.

In addition to that, Mono has produced a very large set of extra libraries.

With .NET once an API is published it's available to all programming languages at the same time.

The software patent problem is not limited to Mono. Software patents affect everyone writing software today.

Well Microsoft really does develop some really interesting technology.

All of our code is open source, so it can be used for other projects.

Every cinematographer I worked with had his own way of solving problems.

I have problems with machines which aren't gestural.

Women don't like advice. They don't want you to fix their problems, they just want you to listen.

Had the Hebrews not been disturbed in their progress a thousand and more years ago, they would have solved all the great problems of civilization which are being solved now under all the difficulties imposed by the spirit of the Middle Ages.

You can also make explicit certain social problems which, again, would be prejudged or not encountered at all in real life, because people have set up defenses against it. Fantasy allows you to get past defenses.

From dear, dear Gloria Swanson, I learned how to live long, happy and free of health problems. I owe her my life.

I think it's one of the Times' problems that they haven't made it clear to readers what various formats mean.

I don't see this planet being... they're talking about how they're turning around the environmental problems here, but I think it's already too late.

People with fertility problems are not alone. It is a very very common problem for couples today. I've seen statistics that are just staggering.

There are nuclear weapons in China, Iran, Korea and Pakistan. It wouldn't take much to send a couple of warheads off on this planet somewhere that would cause a lot of environmental damage, then if you have got someone who wants to retaliate you have real problems.

That's one of our biggest problems, it's always somebody else's fault instead of our own fault.

I dream of the realization of the unity of Africa, whereby its leaders combine in their efforts to solve the problems of this continent. I dream of our vast deserts, of our forests, of all our great wildernesses.

But clearly at the same time you've got to get out there and connect with voters and actually respond to the needs, the frustrations, whatever problems their now saying are not being adequately solved.

The decisions and problems of Uruguay will be resolved by Uruguayans.

Coppola has problems getting financing, so why should I not have problems getting financing.

When you take a look at the problems our country is facing, debt is No. 1. The math is downright scary and the credit markets aren't going to keep on giving us cheap rates.

One of the problems with putting Huck Finn into a movie or on the stage is, you always make the white people stupid and racist. The point is, they don't know they're racist.

There is no miracle cure for the many problems of the world.

I used to think that it didn't make any difference how far you ran if you had a good, strong musculoskeletal system and no underlying cardiovascular problems.

With respect to the FBI, they had problems communicating in a vertical way, within the FBI itself, so that information of importance could get pushed up to those who were decision-makers.

It is time for everyone to sit down - the NCAA, the NBA, the players union and the coaching fraternity - and come up with suitable solutions to these problems.

We are really the victims of our own problems.

It has become much more difficult to smuggle dangerous substances across our borders over the past three years, and this is creating real problems for drug traffickers.

I'm a political scientist and I study these things, and I know that economic problems, with the rising unemployment and inflation and low productivity and so forth, were a factor in that election, in that defeat of President Carter.
