Qt Released For OS X
AxsDeny writes: "It looks like Macslash is also reporting this, but Trolltech is now offering Qt for OS X. Long live cross platform development." Doesn't look like there's a Free version, but there is a non-commerical license called the "Qt Academic License," which "Allows schools and universities to acquire and use Qt for free in relevant courses."
Why isn't "second post" worth anything?
Logged in first port!

Here here, brother. These people have no compassion for their fellow humans. ;-(
Their bodies should be dragged through the streets, sort of like what happened in Somalia.
Not only did you read the story, you spent the time to reply? Get some priorities yourself. Some people need to know this stuff professionally and earning money to feed our children is pretty high up on our priority list.

It ain't worth a pimple on a bull's ass.
I have a feeling I'll be taking a 72-hour hiatus from posting to Slashdot, so I may as well get this one last word in.
The worst terrorist attack in recorded history occurred last month, and now we're involved in a WAR and you people have the gall to be discussing Qt for OS/X???? My *god*, people, GET SOME PRIORITIES!
The bodies of the thousands of innocent civilians who died (and will die) in these unprecedented events could give a good god damn about Qt for OS/X, your childish Lego models, your nerf toy guns and whining about the lack of a "fun" workplace, your Everquest/Diablo/D&D fixation, the latest Cowboy Bebop rerun, or any of the other ways you are "getting on with your life" (here's a hint: watching Cowboy Bebop in your jammies and eating a bowl of Shreddies is *not* "getting on with your life"). The souls of the victims are watching in horror as you people squander your finite, precious time on this earth playing video games!
You people disgust me!
C'mon guys, you've been so slow tonight I've posted my get some priorities troll to about 6 stories.

One more mod-down and I'll be banned for 72 hours.
(Of course, I have MANY ip addresses to choose from. bwahahah)
Three cheers for Bin Laden.
He finally taught those yanks a lesson they sorely needed.
"One guy wrote that we should take all these Legos and build giant robots with which to attack Afghanastan." -- Rob Malda, Founder of Slashdot, a "News for Nerds" website, in a NPR report on post WTC gen-X, 10/22/2001
I, for one, would like to take a moment to thank Rob for setting us "Nerds" back where we belong. Way to make us look like a bunch of childish tech-heads with no conception of the real world! (That was sarcasm, you nincompoop!)
I am using QT3 to write a cross platform legal case managment system. I am going to release a version of it that simply does contact, calendar and mail. It will have an Outlook style interface.
Screen shot: http://dunsinane.net/bryan/virtualaw.png
Using the database support found in QT3, this application will use PostgreSQL or an ODBC database as its back-end. It will be multi-user. It will allow for the sharing of contacts and calendars. Who knows I might even put in KDE support (someone had to provide an alternative to the anemically developed Aethera).
I am looking for anyone who might like to contribute to this project.
I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.
No, but it does equal a lack of compassionate action. You can blather on about your sympathies and compassions endlessly, but for all intents and purposes, it equals an utter lack of compassion.
Perhaps, but so what? My primary responsibility is to myself, spouse, and children. After that, comes my country and employer (which also serves my interest in protecting my family and getting a salary).
How does it help me to help someone else?
Yes, I have helped someone once, but I got burned for it. Since then, the only person I'm helping is my and my family. I'll help out close friends, but not financially.

Take that, subspace!
actually no, it's not a lack of compassion or action. I work with a large number of non-profits, churches, and some larger NGO's for free. I donate a lot of hardware and software, and more specifically time and effort. I could be charging someone for my time but I make an effort to help out when and where I can. this usually doesn't cost me money, either.
I believe that there is much more to be gained by an individual doing what they can to help than by feeding huge sums of money into governmental assistance programs. I have yet to meet anyone truly helped by something like this; whereas I have met many many people, ranging from children to old folks, who have had their lives changed by the actions of a single individual.
sometimes people have to open their mind a little.
