does Qt use the XP extended open file dialog? I'm not sure of it's API name, MS likes to keep the MSDN subscription treadmill rolling with a new file dialog every few weeks so it's hard to tell.
I have no idea but in my experience this is the usual place that falls foul.
My experience of Borland C goes back way too far I think, do you remember the awful looking widgets they used to ship?
wxWindows uses the native controls too but I'd gladly bet a few $ that you can tell a wx app from a VC++ app from a VB app.
I'm a plan9 user these days, there has been a stab at a few widgets but hardly anyone uses them. One can select text and execute it as a command so we tend to make our interfaces around that concept.
Want a menu? just type it
It's an extremely powerful approach and one that I just couldn't let go of.
Wily is the nearest example on X and 9menu rules hard.
I wasn't aware that KDE had a corral containing popularity, developers and sponsors. To turn them loose seems rather irresponsible; like the ALF releasing a thousand mink into the English countryside, there's bound to be a few casualties.
Since dropping the gold standard the scarcity of money is controlled by the govt.
It also opens the door to currency speculation (see the 30-40% devaluation if the baht for a case study or Britain's Black Wednesday).
-50% inflation would seriously harm the USA's balance of trade as foreign currency would suddenly be able buy twice as many US dollars.
I'm sure any president would shit his pants if suddenly the national debt doubled, oh wait, increasing the national debt by lowering taxes to win votes seems to have been US domestic policy for years, as well as plenty of other 'conservative' nations. Conservative, what a joke!
Back in the BBS days my leet friend was a warez courier. To facilitate this a certain amount of phreaking was required. At the time there was no Computer Misuse Act. He was eventually arrested. The cops had a list of all the alleged phone calls. Each one constituted a separate criminal offence. They had to read him the entire list of calls and he had to answer 'yes' or 'no' to whether he agreed he had made the call. It took them *ten* hours.
It turned out the only thing they could charge him with was 'theft of electricity' and when it went to court he got fined 80.
There was also the time another friend rigged the 'Stars In their Eyes' final when they included to new gee whizz internet voting as part of the viewer voting.
How we laughed when Matthew Kelly (the child abuser!) said "we've had a phenominal response on our website".
They've got a bit cleverer these days with cookies and IP logging but thank goodness for anonymizing proxies
No it doesn't, though it might raise it.

Begging the question is using a circular argument.
It comes as no surprise that you can't converse in English, such ignorance is legion.

>Of course you'd be nuts to store dates as text.
why? atoi is your friend
It's called 'human readable text'
It also removes endian problems for numbers stored in binary form across platforms.
Think of the difference between user.dat and what regedit displays.
That's why plan9 continued what Unix started and uses plain text for all configuration files.
Binary config files are the devil's spawn.

I probably missed some too

ooh, you meant losing.
Such ignorance is legion.
then you might like plan9
It has r/w addressable video memory.
And being plan9 it is even available across the network, like all memory, modulo permissions.

Let's blame Thatcher & Reagan, they started it!
fair comment, I didn't know it had been dropped.
I haven't seen him on TV since.
Poor fella.

9p is a protocol not an OS, it is OS agnostic.
I have a python 9p server daemon and clients.
The ask was "what's the best remote file system", 9p is the answer.

> I have the Terminal Services service running on the WinXP system on a non-default port where I can shut it down if I want to (using tsshutdn).
Security through obscurity - the golden path to heaven
you might want to go read these pages
particularly this one
your non-default port is worth 0 points
ah, the mertic of success is the size of the userbase ?
I think not.
The universal computing machine is a white elephant.
Design Goals
1. Get as many users as possible
never mind
GNU is fucking Unix over.
GUI's is NOT the way, they seem to have forgotten that.
I don't need screenshots, I use plan9 all day long.
plan9's 14 years of use is quite a bit more than KDE's few.
Gnome will die under the weight of it's pointless complexity and Miguel's MS wannabe nature.
To say plan9 will fail is already wrong.
It is a shame you shoto your mouth off in ignorance. Wake up son.
You have no idea, my friend, no idea at all.
Here's what happened to Unix

Lunix is a sad joke where the only decent thing to come out of it was the social revolution.
A Universal Computing Machine is a white elephant.

The idea that there is one true O/S is ludicrous.
I cling to plan9. 256 colours, no multi-media, I can't even play mpegs on it.
It doesn't have a web browser worth using.
It has no RDBMS or a dedicated file browser.
No icons. No buttons.

But it suits my computing needs for doing work.
Windows isn't reviled because it is used by common people.
FreeBSD is for people who like Unix
Linux is for people who hate Windows
OpenBSD != NetBSD != FreeBSD
Loser
NT stands for 'Nested Threads'
It's a register introduced on the 386 and predates Windows NT.
fyi. under capitalism the govt. controls the money supplies and tries to control spending and borrowing via the base interest rate.
How is this not human designed?
My web server doesn't do much 3d graphic processing
342 is quite a nice small figure
plan9's ramfs is 846 lines, but it is available across the network.
I had it mind that it was a chatroom
30Gb are $30 shut up bitching
The RTS world needs a big hitter to put it back in the charts.
But no innovation?
Bullfrog has looked after us well.
How about Dungeon Keeper & Black and White.
Both are as RTS as they come but did an admirable job of putting the raw mechanics of '5x = 1y' behind the theme.
It was a sad day to learn that Dungeon Keeper 3 put on hold indefinately
I don't think that the Total War series really fits into the RTS genre considering the time spent in the turn based portion of the game.
I've been hankering after some RTS action recently but don't feel like revisiting.
I remember the days when they were labelled 'this photo from a floppy disk'
