And while doing my daily delicious popular browsing I found a torrent for Pilger's Palestine is Still the Issue documentary. The documentary aired in the UK, and I had read the blurb on his web site a few years ago.http://primates.ximian.com/~miguel/archive/2005/Apr-28.html 26 Apr 2005: .NET to Java- April 26, 2005 Mono offers a mechanism to run your .NET code on non-Unix systems by providing a CLI execution environment. Mainsoft has taken a different approach. Mainsoft wrote a translator that integrates with Visual Studio that converts existing .NET applications into Java applications by translating the CIL bytecode into JVM bytecodes. Mainsoft has historically focused on server-side deployments with their product (Integrating ASP.NET with J2EE and bringing Visual Studio debugging to J2EE). .http://primates.ximian.com/~miguel/archive/2005/Apr-26.html 24 Apr 2005: More Books on Lebanon- April 24, 2005 The book on Asad that I was recommended is awesome, it gives a different perspective on the Lebanon war from the Syrian point of view.

It is a creative coup, because nobody had thought of this before. If there is one area where we mexicans excel is in coming up with some crooked schemes. This time is the turn of President Fox. President Fox is using a technicality on a minor issue to block his strongest opponent from running on the upcoming elections. I envision many countries will be able to follow Mexico's leadership on.http://primates.ximian.com/~miguel/archive/2005/Apr-10.html 09 Apr 2005: GUI for hand-held devices- April 9, 2005 Updated screenshots of GPE Palmtop Environment are available here.
