.NET (dotGNU too) A lot of people have trouble understanding what .NET really is and what its goals are. Mostly because Microsoft has done a good job of confusing everybody using terms that are not self-explanatory or with terms that mean more that one thing. This editorial will present my thoughts on .NET, what it really is, what its motivations and goals are, and why it is the next "big thing." Should we embrace it or fear it? Both, I daresay.

Evolution

"I'm sorry, I've just gotta jump in here. I think that the term
"evolution" is a big misfit. which things mutate, and once in a very
very long time turn out to be
better."

I think you need to read a book on evolution. It isn't a random
process but an optimisation process.
