This is utterly ridiculous. All these things are obvious. I mean, suggesting I join a Delphi forum? (previous post) As if somehow I hadn't participated in so many for so many years -- or a guy who has possibly the most marked up copy of CLR via C# extant doesn't even get the basic concept of .Net yet. I think there's a better thing to do. . You people evidently have your goals quite set, and that's quite fine with me. Obviously I understand that Mono is not a browser technology. My concern is *running* *anything* that does anything more than *render* something in my browser (or anywhere else) -- and therefore I consider all the overlappings of .Net dedicated to running *anything* I don't *know* about conclusively as a potential risk. That's all. But that's a big thing to me. Still, I my purpose in mentioning this was to point out a division -- MS is betting on diverse executables everywhere; the succeeding, competing browsers are excelling because they are providing ways to *cut off* *all* those kinds of things... right down to _javascript_ (mentioned too just as an example of *the extent* of the *desirable* protection from these executables). That spells an opportunity to me -- an opportunity to point sights at a place down the road where instead of multivarious styles of web development tolerating *any* number of executables, we have found we better tolerate no unknown executables, and perform all rendering with a known application and/or its plugins. To this, this forum replies *color is unnecessary,* as a defense of those executables? That's very interesting, not because it is enlightening (of course), but because it comes from this forum. I also understand of course that we don't have to use .Net for these things -- my mail sufficiently emphasized that as well. My point was... well, actually my full point might seem offensive. I didn't intend that. Now we're defending Mono by thinking we're teaching ABCs; and obviously this is going nowhere. Good luck to you all. It's been an experience. Andreas Färber wrote: Mike, |
