may I suggest to optimize what really needs to be optimized, and enjoy the productivity boost in creating the rest, not to mention separation of tasks between UI design and application logic programming?
Of which you can already do now without the need of QML and its overhead. Plus the Qt people keep trying to skirt around the performance issues when people kept repeatedly asking about it and considering how many posts you get about poor performance with QML apps through simple Google searches I can see why. Factor in how many custom widgets people use in desktops apps now and I can't possibly see most people wasting the time and effort to rewrite in QML.
Yes, if you make an agreement that says you will agree not to do something lest you face consequences and you choose to break it you have little or nothing to complain about. If the guy truly believes in what he did, he should be more than willing to face what is coming.
Boohoo. Bradley Manning made an agreement with the government to not expose secret information lest he receive rather severe punishment. It's rather hard to feel sorry for him when he voluntarily signed the contract.
BTW your comeback is about as lame as saying "Democrats are segregationists" which purposefully ignores decades of political shifting that went on within the political parties. Seriously, lame trolling is lame.
Because Republicans are progressives... all the way back to Teddy Roosevelt.
Yes, let's ignore the last 50 years of US politics and post such a lame comeback.
Progressivism is a political attitude favoring or advocating changes or reform through governmental action.
And a choice quote from Baker:
“I’m afraid we are endangering a really important agenda. . . by pushing forward with a partisan, big-government regulatory issue [net neutrality] that has no immediate need for us to act,” Baker said.
The funny thing is that this person is a conservative Republican with such choice quotes as:
“I’m afraid we are endangering a really important agenda. . . by pushing forward with a partisan, big-government regulatory issue [net neutrality] that has no immediate need for us to act,” Baker said.
Yep, that sounds very much like a progressive to me. Oh wait...
So basically nothing even remotely in the same league. Even beaten to death franchises like The Sims has gets more than a million sales just in a week.
That's why you can then point to LGP as well which had to implement DRM a couple years back because most Linux people were pirating their games. Until Linux people can show that they can match the millions of PC games sales that average $40-50 a pop that you can get from making Windows games, it will never get first-class AAA game titles (getting a port of a AAA game title months to years after it comes to Windows doesn't count).
...on the other hand, plenty of people are making money with that sort of model these days.
Sure there are companies doing it, but if you want to attract companies like Valve you are going to need more to show for it then that the average person paid $2.36 per game for the Humble Bundle especially when the Humble Bundles were only getting like 100,000 donations. On the other hand, Starcraft II sold 1.5 million copies in 2 days or Half Life 2 which sold millions and millions of copies within the first couple of months.
They are not at all comparable to Half-Life 2, Battlefield (series) or any other ~$50 game available.
Especially when something like Starcraft II sold more copies in 2 days and generated more than a magnitude more revenue than all of the Humble Bundles combined. That anyone would think that saying that some group of people paid $11.82 on average for a 5 game bundle is going to mean some AAA studio is going to rush to make games for Linux is laughable.
Wait, so if the Linux users paid $2 on average and the Windows users paid $4 less on average, the Humble Bundle paid Windows users to download their games?
Did you even bother to read the post?
2 dollars for a game (average of about 11-12 bucks for a 6 game pack)
The 2 dollars per game was the cost of the total price which was around $11.82 for each Linux person divided by the total amount of games which was 5. On the other hand, the Windows people paid on average 7-8 TOTAL for the pack which would be around 1.40-1.60 per game. It's really not that hard to properly read.
They were lying about what? Did you miss the part:
average of about 11-12 bucks for a 6 game pack
Then you come back and post:
Average Linux: $11.82
Does not $11.82 come between $11 and $12? So they said it was a 6 game pack vs a 5 game pack. That would raise the average to $2.36/game which is really a negligible difference. Counter this to Half-Life 2 which sold $6.5 million games sold at a far higher average price than the $2.36/game that people on Linux were paying for the Humble Bundle. Or to Starcraft II which sold 1.5 million copies in 2 days at probably $50 a pop. Can you point to a single Linux game that has even remotely that many sales nor as much revenue generated from sales? Right, you can't.
And by "far" less you mean a 4 dollar difference on average. But hey, let's ignore the millions of sales for PC games like Half-Life 2, Starcraft II, etc at $50 a piece.
Why did you leave out Nintendo? You had/have to pay for dev kits for their consoles as well. At least Microsoft lets indie people make games without needing to have office space and other ridiculous restrictions like Nintendo imposes.
Slashdot Mirror
Hang around in a 5th grade schoolyard and you will hear them talking about the music they downloaded, not the music they bought.
Yeah because before P2P downloads children in the 5th grade age range was the bellweather of healthy music sales...
Oh it's more than a possibility. They have a guy on Amazon who does nothing but review Packt books and conveniently every single review is 5 stars.

The game isn't abandoneware. They are still running the game. Just not in North America.

She is by no means a "progressive".

Of this part: The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
Sort of like the "right to privacy" that we are told by the right doesn't exist because the Constitution doesn't specifically mention it?
Why do progressive have to answer for a Republican FCC commissioner?
In 2009, Baker joined the FCC as one of two Republicans on the five-person commission.
It's no different then the people constantly begging Adobe for Creative Suite or Valve for Steam.
That was supposed to be "just in the first week".
Nobody pays full price for PC games anymore.
Because you say so?
I certainly never will again.
Wow, what conclusive evidence!
So, I'll go on buying from Gog and the indie developers. The rest of the PC game market can collapse for all I care.
And companies like Blizzard who sell nearly 2 million copies of their games in 2 days will continue to not care what you do.
So basically nothing even remotely in the same league. Even beaten to death franchises like The Sims has gets more than a million sales just in a week.

$12 / 5 is $2.36. That's not that much of a difference.
Wait, so if the Linux users paid $2 on average and the Windows users paid $4 less on average, the Humble Bundle paid Windows users to download their games?

The windows folks paid far less for the HIBs.

My senses suggest me that the theft of personal data is just a coveup story by Sony.
Because Sony would want to willingly pay for millions of dollars in identity theft services when no personal data was taken?
Yes, and those AES instructions are well documented.
