Doing this would probably make the Maldives sink even quicker, because it would kill the coral, which is what actually keeps the islands out of the water...

- I am not a resident of New York.
- Therefore I am not under the jurisdiction of that government (same as I am not under jurisdiction to France or Canada)
- Thus I am not an NY citizen; governments can not tax non-citizens. What is the relation between resident of New York and citizen of New York ?
I am a French citizen but I don't live in France (and never did).
And PLEASE stop comparing American states to countries: Canada != New York State. The United States are a country, like Canada, France or the Federated States of Micronesia.
Internet access gets faster -> Web sites get bigger
Hard drives get bigger -> Applications use more space
Media storage increases -> Home videos get larger and quality improves
CPUs get faster -> Windows programmers add "features" and chow down on cycles
Fish bowls get larger -> Goldfish grow...
Internet access gets faster -> a new hard drive is needed to store all the pr0n !!!
I for one am not going to buy any computer infected with a bullshit Trusted Computing TPM. I don't get it. Finally we have a computer we can Trust, and you are still whining!
Hmm, now I wonder just what MS has that's worth $1.3B? Windows/Office copyright perhaps?
You messed things up: MS would actually have to pay anyone much more that 1.3B$ to give him Vista copyright.
Developing and maintaining a multiplatform app is long and expensive? Yes, it is! But is it more expensive than writing one app per platform? It depends.
Would you say that it is silly to have the Apache web server running on several platforms? I wouldn't...
Now you are talking about 90% market share and then embedded systems. MS indeed has a 90% market share on the desktop, but not on servers or embedded platforms. There the market is much more balanced.
So again, Yes, Qt is useful in numerous cases and no, Visual Studio is not the panacea, although it does a rather good job in a lot of situations.
Stuff you build on Visual Studio works on 90+% of the computers in the world. For most people, that's enough.
Yes, and 640k ought to be enough for anybody!
Again, last time I checked, Windows Vista was not a platform but an OS. The platform here is Win32. Similarly, Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbons is an OS, whereas Linux is a platform. Concerning Windows Mobile 5/6 (forgot 2003) these are OS. The platform is Windows CE. So to be exact, VS2005 supports only two platform, where Qt supports X11, Mac OS X, Windows (Vista, 2003, XP, 2000, NT4, Me, 98 !!!), Linux Embedded and Java, i.e. 5 different plaforms.
GNU/
Adobe Flex was $500 (last I looked, $250), the mid range Visual Studio is about $500
Last time I checked Visual Studio was not a multiplatform development environment, whereas Qt is.
And come on ! How can you compare Qt with Adobe Flex ?

Yes but what are YOU doing about it ? NOTHING!
In Soviet Russia, stories tag YOU!
At the voting stations, have two lines
One for McCain and one for Obama ?
Possibly the same thing that happened to UTF-8 encoder of your web browser?
Sorry, I could not keep from modding this funny. I am really a GNU/FOSS/Linux geek :P
// I win, but you have to read it bottom upTruth is, you are a top-poster moron!
No, actually they just used an OLPC to type it.

There, fixed it for ya.
Does it mean that Uri Geller found a new job ?

Actually this kind of car has existed for more than a decade. Sales are quite good in Europe these days.
It costs 10'000 $ though.
You must be new here.
