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

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.

In the Age of Aquarius, the depression and stress on mankind will tear up people who do not have the technical knowledge of self.

Travel safe, travel far, travel wide, and travel often.

Like patents - which also seek to protect the little guy - unions were started for all the right reasons. But like patents, they can be twisted into something that hurts innovation, competition, and ultimately consumers and the country as a whole.

Ultimate Warrior had a hell of a gimmick, but wrestling is about so much more than that. You have to be consistent, work main events every night and have matches that people really believe in and want to see.

When I test I never go right to the limit. Only because when you are below the limit you can go at the same speed all day, and that's the only way you can be absolutely sure about what you are testing.

For me, art is such a wide concept - anything can be art.

Be aware of the high notes, of the blissful faces and their soft messages, and listen for the silent message of a highly decorated gift.

First of all, I always see the sun! The way I want to identify myself and others is with halos here and there halos, movements of color. And that, I believe, is rhythm.

My work in government has flowed from the fundamental idea of personal empowerment. It's about giving people the tools they need to pave their own way.

I have been devoted to my son, and there have been lots of jobs in the past that I haven't done because I didn't want to be away from him.

Opposites are not contradictory but complementary.

I try to make a film that's very entertaining, very funny, but also gives you something to think about. And the strongest thing I have to offer is my point of view, to get across how I see the world in hopes that it can change the way other people see the world, hopefully for the better.

Sometimes, soulmates may meet, stay together until a task or life lesson is completed, and then move on. This is not a tragedy, only a matter of learning.

Some days you just have to create your own sunshine.

Blunt belief destroys life.

What I have learned over the years is to try to stay in the moment.

There's something sexy about a man or a woman when they have definition in their shoulders and their arms. When I'm at a restaurant, whether it's a man in a sleeveless top or a woman, I can't help but look.

I was a part of the decision-making in the Pentagon, when I was the undersecretary for intelligence, to start CYBERCOM, both as a sub-unified command and under a dual-hat arrangement. That was never intended to be permanent in any event.

Biology will relate every human gene to the genes of other animals and bacteria to this great chain of being.

In the '20s they were telling us we'd all have our own private plane and take vacations to the moon.

A camel is a very awkward animal to ride, and it's very hard to get used to because they're not very graceful.

In the fallen there is danger of pride and vainglory, since they prefer their own judgment to the judgment of everyone else, usurping what is not their own by setting themselves up as judges in their own cause when the rightful judge is their superior.

It's easy to get sidetracked with technology, and that is the danger, but ultimately you have to see what works with the music and what doesn't. In a lot of cases, less is more. In most cases, less is more.

Theres lots of people in this world who spend so much time watching their health that they havent the time to enjoy it.
