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."
I'll get the ball rolling... "AYE!"
The goatse guy for president. Win one for the gaper!
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!
Your face looks like a penis snapped in half. Burn in hell.

What I liked was when over the weekend Hillary Clinton got booed off the stage by New York firemen and cops. Way to go heroes! Gotta luv 'em!

Loopholes in slashdot
Oh dear me, it seems that we have some subversive moderators in the house! Thank you, troll brothers!
/.? It sure sounds like trollish drivel to me.
Somebody should sumbit that NPR story to slashdot, just to see what happens. I'd give a 30% chance a properly phrased story could sneak through, since Taco is almost as much of a media whore as JonKatz.
Actually, I would be interested in Rob's take on the broadcast. Did they just take the most stereotypical geek statement out of context? Does he really have such a dim view of the "Nerd" community?
(BTW, Rob's quote is near the end of the 6 minute story, just in case you're too lazy to listen to the whole thing.) Also, could someone dig up the relevant posting from
If you ask the average slashbot, he (I can say he with confidance, cause no women use linux) would tell you that he would want the troll off of slashdot as soon as possible. I argue that slashdot needs trolls to be what it is today. Most posters to slashdot are repressed geeks that no one cares about and everybody pickes on. They are never on the winning team and are always left out. Slashdot readers have latched on to Linux and the community that has arose around it; they love to defend it; even if they are wrong. Most trolls are helpful and caring folk who care about their fellow man. Trolls help the poor linux user by giving him a easy target to flame, or to attempt to flame, as the case me be. Troll try to be there for slashdot readers of a wide variety of mental capacities. Some trolls are easy to spot; they are designed to be that way. But, to give some of the smarter (and that term is very subjective) slashdot readers a challenge, some of the trolls are harder to spot. The troll might be an easy topic, like the death of BSD, or it might be a harder topic like Natilie Portman and the grits that occupy her pants. No matter what the level of trolling, it can be said hat slashdot readers love responding to trolls as much as much as the trolls like being responded to. Keep in mind that when a(logged in) troll makes a first post or gives a link to goatse.cx, it is his way of saying "I love you, man!" Please discuss
