13:43:41raptorgood day!
13:43:56raptorESA landed a probe on a comet without crashing!
13:44:34raptoralthough staying landed is still in question as I think the harpoons did not engage
13:47:21Flynnn Quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
14:07:28watusimotohi
14:07:38watusimotoheard about the space mission... pretty awesome!
14:07:40raptorhi
14:08:17watusimotothey had harpoons, also grippers and an engine that would thrust into the comet, so it may be ok if the harpoons didn't work
14:09:02watusimotoodd that getting onto "the ground" is easier than staying on "the ground", eh?
14:09:21raptoror staying on the ground in one piece!
14:14:02raptoroh yes, odd (I misread)
14:14:38raptorrealities of much smaller celestial bodies

14:54:56watusimotoraptor: this must be a joke!
14:54:57watusimotohttp://www.geekwire.com/2014/net-visual-studio-microsoft-open-source-cross-platform/
14:55:47raptorwhat: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/somasegar/archive/2014/11/12/opening-up-visual-studio-and-net-to-every-developer-any-application-net-server-core-open-source-and-cross-platform-visual-studio-community-2013-and-preview-of-visual-studio-2015-and-net-2015.aspx
14:56:26raptorthat can't be right...
14:56:32raptori thought this was microsoft
14:59:47raptorso that's not the whole .NET stack... but probably the main bit so you can implement the VM
14:59:58raptorsounds like they want to kill Java
15:00:06raptormaybe oracle got on their bad side
15:00:35raptoror actually, maybe google..
15:01:29Flynnn Quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
15:01:33raptorwhoa! and released under MIT license!

15:14:15Flynnn has joined
15:27:27watusimotoI thought the inner workings of .net were super top secret
15:27:49raptoryeah, me too
15:28:08watusimotoprobably gives a lot of insight into how windows works
15:28:10raptormaybe they want android to die as much as Steve Jobs did...
15:28:43watusimotowhy would this damage android?
15:28:57raptorbecause android is built on java
15:29:15watusimotobut they will support .net on android, no?
15:29:39raptorwell, as an addition VM on a mobile device, yes
15:29:52watusimotoI haven't read the whole article
15:30:16raptorbut I suspect that opening it up means that others can use it, modify it, etc. to be the base runtime for a mobile device
15:30:22watusimotowell, regardless, it's a big move
15:30:23raptorwhich is what GOogle did for android
15:30:32raptorand oracle got mad at them..
15:30:45watusimotowhat is java's license?
15:30:52watusimotothis might be a strike at Java as much as anything
15:31:01raptorsun opened it up before they went under
15:31:04watusimotothey seem to occupy the same niche
15:31:23raptorthat'w why we have IBM JVM, openJDK JVM, dalvik (android), oracle's JVM
15:31:32watusimotoI see
15:32:00raptor.NET, in my mind, has always been the direct competitor to what Java stands for
15:32:07watusimotoyes
15:32:08raptorbut microsoft kept it essentially windows-only
15:32:12watusimotoyes
15:32:18raptorbut Novell started MONO
15:32:20watusimotoI always figured they'd kill mono
15:32:26watusimotonovell started that?
15:32:29raptorto make it more palatable cross-platform
15:32:59raptoryeah - the original developers were Novell employees
15:33:03raptorwho left, of course
15:33:27raptori guess Novell 'sponsored' it
15:33:36watusimotoI didn't realize that
15:34:36raptoroh wait - actually, started by Ximian, which was shortly acquired by Novell
15:34:43raptori remember the Ximian monkey mascot
15:34:54raptorbut Novell pumped in the cash
15:35:05watusimotoI didn't know ximian was a novell arm
15:35:30watusimotoI always wondered where the money came from
15:35:31watusimotonow I know
15:35:32raptorbut anyways... this .NET announcement seems just like what Sun Microsystems did... which eventually spawned android
15:35:42watusimotoyes
15:35:46watusimoto.net phone
15:35:53raptoryep
15:36:02watusimotothat may be their play
15:36:07raptorjust a guess at the future - it could be that googley has too far of a lead
15:36:12watusimotowindows phone is doa
15:38:41raptorspeaking of googley, have you heard from Arc at all?
15:39:28watusimotonot a peep
15:39:45raptormaybe our tasks were too hard so they don't want us back...
15:39:47raptor:)
15:40:14watusimotoI suspect it's just that he doesn't want to take the intiative
15:41:07raptoroh... today the orgs are to be announced
15:41:49Flynnn Quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
15:42:14raptorha! they were chosen again: http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/
15:42:57raptormaybe i'll ping Arc and see if he's even willing to let us join... my wife sure does like the t-shirts
15:43:00watusimotoI suspected they would - they are a gateway to lots of small projects
15:43:15watusimotoping away
15:43:34watusimotowe have some projects already described in the bug reports
15:44:02watusimotoif we do it, I'll need to get my refactors all wrapped up
15:44:07raptorha.. pysoy is now a '3D Cloud Game Engine'
15:44:24raptorstarts Dec. 1: https://www.google-melange.com/gci/events/google/gci2014
15:46:45watusimotowe need a gci task to convert bitfighter to .net
15:48:18raptori'm in conversation with Arc, want to join? he's asking tough questions
15:48:23raptorat #pysoy
15:48:51raptorsee conversation here so far: http://pastie.org/private/piyekgaooukvbk40neoopa
15:50:44Flynnn has joined
15:53:06watusimoto<Arc> so is there a way for bitfighter to be in the same tree? --> I don't see how
15:54:07raptoryeah...
