Mono is awesome. I haven't used linux in years, but I managed to install linuxmint and setup Mono + Nginx + ServiceStack over the weekend. It's a bit difficult at first, but when it works it's nice. You can even build in visual studio and copy the files over to your linux box.

What's with the comments that start with "This."? What is "This." suppose to mean as an introduction?

Sort of short-hand for "I agree with this". I think (? please correct me if wrong, someone) it started on Reddit.

I've heard it in real life far before that. Its a way of re-emphasizing something that was just said.

It's another way of saying "ditto".
