This week the Outlaws discuss the resurgence of the Mono wars, Libre.fm fussing over leaked albums, Squirrels on Leo Laporte’s face, USB 3.0 and multi-touch in Linux, the browserless edition of Win7 for Europe and there’s also some hockey talk and more.

In my own right, I'm a professional at everything I do.
Oh and I have a short attention span, so just slap me if I derail. : )

On the show, Dan said "take your ball and go home" in reference to MS IE EU. Microsoft is taking their ball and running, and the ball is their crappy web browser. What this really means is that OEMs will be the ones deciding which browser(s) will be installed on their Windows machines. Personally, I think MS will pressure OEMs to install IE and a buggy version of FireFox.

Developers should use Mono, end users should not use Mono. Since C#/Mono apps can be compiled down to native code that does not require the Mono framework, why aren't developers and package maintainers creating and using native code versions? The only time people seem to use the native code versions is when developers compile for the iPhone.

[edit]Kino, is a GTK app. The name probably comes from some Greek root with "kin" used to represent movement, as is used in kinetic and kinesthetic. I've used the app and found that it fulfilled my basic video editing needs.
If the key is super, why is there a Windows logo on it?

Kino is also the German word for cinema, which makes sense for a video editing app :)
