Qt For The Console
lintux writes: "You probably know Qt as the fine toolkit for the less-fine X. Today something cool reached a stable state: Qt for the console. A Qt library port which allows you to port Qt programs to the console! Just imagine a full-featured web browser like Konqueror, on a 386 text-machine! I tried some things, and I never want to use w3m or lynx again, I can tell you that!" Update by HeUnique:While I do approve of the job these guys have done on console QT, I believe they may need to properly relicense their project under the GPL.
Israel has been far more tolerant and patient with the "Palestinian Problem" than any other nation.
Jordan, Egypt, and Lebanon have all slaughtered and massacred the Palestinians by the thousand, just to force them out. Israel has gone far above and beyond the call of duty to try to work towards some kind of land-for-peace deal, to no avail.
The only reason the Arabs oppose Israeli action, is that they are afraid the Palestinians will immigrate to their own countries and then THEY will (once again) have to deal with the "Palestinian Problem".
I encourage Israel to use whatever force and whatever means you deem necessary to secure you land and defend yourself.
Not to start a licensing flame war but... Can you relicense a derivative of an GPL library(QT) into LGPL?
Do they have any porn site screenshots?
Well, he has changed it about 5 times in the last 5 minutes. He originally took a strong stance, but now is barely expressing an opinion. Just like your typical bedwetting panzy assed open sores fan. LOSER
I can't give you an official reason, but in my opinion :
C was used because it's the default language. Not just default for Unix(tm), but the first language most people think to use for a multitude of tasks. C is fast, easy to code in, and both upwards and downwards compatible (ie, I can use GTK+ with assembly code or C++/Java/Perl)
While there's nothing that C++ does that C can't do with appropriate macros, it's harder to use a C++ library in C apps. It's easy and commonplace, however, to use a C library in C++ apps.
Also, I imagine C was the language of choice for the people who started GTK+. This has a huge impact, because despite all else that I've said, there's little functional reason to pick C, C++, or any other useful language. Personal preference and the way one approaches a problem (ie, OO, functional) are big influences.
All of this seems obvious, so why would you even ask why C was chosen as the language for GTK+? You'll get the same answer for any project: C is fast, cheap and good. This is why it's used for X, the kernel, and most other large, popular applications. Mozilla is the only app I use on a regular basis that isn't written in C, and it's dog-slow. Coincidence?
Mystery writer Patricia Cornwell, after her husband tried to kill her for being a dyke, sold her real-life-soap-opera to a movie producer (who came to his senses & never produced the movie). Biographical film contract in hand, Crazy Patty started stalking Jodie Foster to play the role of Patricia Cornwell, because Patty thought it only appropriate a dyke actress play a dyke author. Jodie wasn't impressed, so Cornwell started stalking other actresses instead, & reportedly got down & naked with a couple of famous gals -- I guess the "director's couch" works in all sorts of ways. Jodie's a sort of a family gal though & Crazy Patty wouldn't have been her type even had Jodie been available.
It's common knowledge in the lesbian community that Jodie's a dyke but it's not as often in the press as Tom Cruise because she is not very often out there making denials -- which should teach Tom something but he's not quite as intelligent as Jodie. She merely refuses to discuss her very private private life, but she issues few denials, though there've been some odd semi-denials over the years. Buddy Foster, Jodie's ne'er-do-well brother who was also a child star but never made the transition to adult roles, said his sister is "at least bisexual" though he didn't seem in actuality to know as much about it as any random bar dyke would. He did reveal that their mom Brandy was a dyke, & Jodie was named after her mom's pistol-packing butch lover who the kids called "Aunt Jo". For once Jodie got really peevish, resulting in a family feud held in the press throughout 1997. Perhaps Jodie broke her usual stoic silence more for her mother than for herself being outed. She made a public statement about Buddy being a drug addict with severe memory quirks & she said he's only "a distant acquaintance" not qualified to speak about her life one way or the other. Buddy, hurt, replied to Jodie's press release, "I'm a recovering addict, but my memory is fine". Wonderful family, eh.
The semi-talented actress's long-time sweetheart is foxy Cydney Bernard. They're co-moms of a son, Charlie, & Cydney was present to catch the lad when he left Jodie's womb about two years ago. Cool, huh? Whether or not Charlie is a turkey-baster kid like Rosie's, Jodie isn't telling, though while she was pregnant the reports were that it was an anonymous sperm donor. "I will not talk about the father or the method" is the biggest statement she made to the press. There is no father named on Charlie's birth certificate.
Jodie's a weird one when it comes to the closet, as it doesn't seem she's ashamed of being gay or anything like that, she just has a powerful need to preserve her privacy. Before she will give interviews to promote a new film, she makes the interviewers sign an agreement not to ask her any questions about her home life, her lover, her son, or that bastard who shot Ronald Reagan -- everything else is a go. She doesn't mind being seen with her constant companion Cydney, but on the other hand it's really hard to get pictures of them so much as holding hands.
She is just generally very private. Yet now & then she makes a big public show of dating some eligible bachelor just like in the old Hollywood days when studio moguls made their dyke & faggot stars do photo-ops with their opposite gender. But it's hard to say if it isn't just a bit of an inside joke for Jodie, like at the Golden Globes where she & Russell Crowe were photographed kissing & hugging & feeling each other up. It was afterward rumored that he was having a threesome going with Jodie & Cydney, the lucky dawg, & it just might be true. The gossip-column dish was that Cydney had chosen Russell herself to father her & Jodie's next child, & Jodie agreed that the "no known father" routine had caused more intrusions rather than less over Charlie. Though at first Jodie denied she was pregnant with a second child, turned out she was. In classic "closeted, not closeted" Jodie Foster style, she had her press agent issue a statement that the gossip about the two gals & Russell were not true, but that Cydney & Jodie were hoping their next kid would have Russell's piercing eyes.
Russell Crowe is notorious for his attraction to femme dykes. He had Nicole Kidman before her cover-marriage to Tom, & he did Sharon Stone soon after she played a killer dyke on the screen. Sharon by the way reported that Russell was one helluva hot stud. Hell, I'd do him too.
By the way, a professional Jody Foster look-alike is available on video tapes doing the nasty with other gals, including "lezbo bondage" Some people think these videos really are Jodie, but then some people are morons.
No shit its not an official release, its an april fools joke. I cant believe this is the kind of editorial BS we get with subscriptions and HUGE ads. I hope to God you are not one of the paid staff.
What fun is it to have the top-rated comments ruin the joke? Jeez.
