You trurly manage to discuss the problems, ask and answer questions I think about myself

And there is a small thing i wish you could improve in your podcast. I listen for your podcast on the go. And usually one of those who speak is too quiet to understand, and others are too loud to listen comfortably at the same time. There is no way to adjust the volume to be able to hear everyone in the conversation well. As i've understood, you are recording the podcast as a separate track for every person participating, so normalizing the sound as i think is not a very hard thing to do.

Thanks for reading to the end,

This isn't true. SWF may be controversial and possibly patent-encumbered, but that doesn't mean Mono doesn't have it.

The rest is simply USB, meaning if a particular Dock is sending more power than it should, it is violating the USB power standards, not Apple's.

Maybe we should have a whip round to get enough money to buy Kroc a decent microphone. I think at the moment he just uses an empty tin of beans on a string.

Hotmail supports standard POP3 and SMTP for over a year now and yes on FREE accounts. Only thing they have that annoys me is the advertising in your email signature.

I'm glad they finally relented on the POP thing given pressure from GMail. But then, what about IMAP, or is that too much to ask? Microsoft's web properties seem to be nothing but reactionary catching-up.

I would wager that Office2010:Web would actually be quite good; if it were not for the Silverlight and -MSN- -Live- Bing tie-ins.

As to how well it works - no idea. I don't personally use Linux and tend not to use Mono on Mac. Mac has Seashore ( http://seashore.sourceforge.net/ ), which mostly works well enough for my minimal needs.

Tess, sure Mono has Windows.Forms. Please -research- next time, yes?

Thank you for voicing your opinion and have a good week. Wed, 02 Dec 2009 06:54:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Wes Selken) Comments
