Mono With SharpDevelop 3.0

Currently experimenting with Gecko browser in Gtk# application (to attempt to achieve cross-platform client ambivalence). Since I haven't made the complete jump to Ubuntu (yet) I had some issues targeting Mono with SharpDevelop 3.0. I found this site invaluable. Using_Mono_with_SharpDevelop_3.0

Houston...we have a problem

I am sighing in disbelief, not because it doesn't make sense - it does; if we can't all aspire to be astronauts then what do we aspire to? Computer Worm Strikes International Space Station. You would think the virus writers might cut people some slack - especially when your life support system is probably very complex. Not necessarily something like a system "restore" point could take care of.
Then again we are dealing with types of individuals whose latest scheme is sending you an e-mail claiming to have kidnapped your child. How low can you sink?

I guess that's one good reason why we keep looking for sentient life elsewhere...
